[Opinions] Re: Isabella
in reply to a message by Lily8
I like a lot of Is- names (Isadora, Ismene, Isobel, Isabel, Isolde, Isidore) but I've never really enjoyed Isabella. I don't like the Bella sound. But it's pretty.Hate Bella. Like Izzy and Isa. Belle is okay.I know more older Isobel / Isabel / Isabelles than Isabellas. I probably know a handful of Isabellas older than 12. They're all Italian I'm pretty sure. But yeah, a LOT of young Isabellas.Too common here. It could be a pretty middle name.I like Isabella in the mn spot. Aimee softens it but not huge on Noah in the combo.Much prefer Isabel. Probably spelled Isobel. (My best friend's name.)I love Isadora, probably just because a) I adore Isidore on a boy and b) it doesn't have the Bella sound!Much prefer the sound. Helps that they aren't as common, but that was like Emily and Emma when I was growing up. And growing up in a VERY Italian Catholic community in Melbourne, it sounds weird to me having all these little blonde pale Bellas running around.
