Estelle is the newborn crown princess of Sweden. Lovely name! What about Mirabella?

I prefer Bella, it is just that little bit more unusual.
Also in Greek "Ella" means 'come' - it's a rude way of calling to someone 'ella, ella'. I lived in Greece and heard it a zillion times.

Eleanor and Isabelle are both lovely, but live, love, love Mirabel.

My DD's name is shortened to Ella, but much to my DS's annoyance I call her Ella Bella Big Bum
so in short I love them both.

If I have to choose, Bella. Belinda is a cool name.

Very over used at the moment, how about Eliza or Eloise? Similar but not as common as the other two.
