WDYTO Isabella ...
... bearing in mind that, in Scotland, it doesn't feature in the top 100? (That takes popularity more or less out of the equation, which would completely rule it out if I lived in England or the States --> http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=Isabella&popterm=&gender=both&extra=p)

It's one of my favorites.

Isabella is a little too over the top for me. I much, much prefer plain, ole Isabel. Or better still - Isobel.

Isabella is one of my all time favorites (my dog's mn) and I hate that it has become so overly popular in the U.S. I say if it is not as popular where you are go for it!

I use to love this name when I was about 13 (I'm 18), but I got tired of it, and now it's waaaaay too popular for me.

I think it's nice, and needs a nickname since it's four syllables.
I'd want to avoid Izzy, and that leaves Bella and maybe Sable.I think I like Isabel better, since it's less frilly but has the same 'feel'. - chazda

I love it! I would use Isabella on a future daughter of mine but, as you said, wher I live it is a little too popular for my tastes.

I like it very much. I also like the old-fashioned French Isabeau, but it's too out-there for most people.
