Thoughts on Isabella?

Just wondering what the consensus is on Isabella? Do you know many/is it fairly popular where you are?

I have a feeling it was quite popular a few years ago but I have never actually come across any little Isabella's and it is lower in last years stats than I thought so I am not sure how popular it actually is.

I think it is a pretty name but I do feel it is quite popular at the moment, know of two Isabella's off the top of my head, but they are 4 years old.

Very popular name for babies born between about 2005-10, but there are far more called Sophie and Eve (and variants) these days.

I did think it has been fairly popular recently, but was surprised to see it lower than I thought in last years stats. I am a teacher and have never come across one at school yet, but it if is mainly 4-5 year olds then I guess there will be many of them appearing in my classroom in the next few years!

Thanks, useful thoughts Smile.
