Lucinda or Isabella

[Alexandpea]

Lucy or Bella for short. Sister for James (Jamie).

Which do you prefer?

[Madbengalmum]

Lucinda, isobella etc too common these days

[HarryLimeFoxtrot]

I prefer Lucinda

[Alexandpea]

Thanks for your replies. I know Isabella's popular at the moment, but didn't know Lucinda is too.

DH also likes Beatrice but I think it's a bit pretentious (probably unfairly).

[Madbengalmum]

Alex, sorry if you thought i meant lucinda was popular as well.
I will re write my answer.

I prefer lucinda.
Isabella etc is far too common these days
Hopefully makes more sense!!

I don't like girls' names that end in 'a', I think they sound a but weak.

[Alexandpea]

[Madbengalmum]

[BossWitch]

I prefer Isabella.

Lucinda is a bit try hard in my opinion. Also I think it sounds like lucifer!

[timelyreminder]

I like Lucy and Isabella, but not Lucinda.

[Rhubarbgarden]

Lucinda. So bored of Isabella.

[Shockers]

Lucinda.

I really wanted to be called Lucinda when I was a child. I still love it, although I like my name too.

[stormyboots]

I can't see the beauty in the name Isabella anymore now it's been done to death, Lucinda is like a breath of fresh air in comparison

[Amy106]

Lucinda is lovely with Lucy for short.

[Sleepyfergus]

Dd2 is Isabella (nn Izzie). We live in a large Scottish city and I've only come across 1 other which I've never actually met, just know of (she's a friends daughters bf).

I kept reading after we named her that everywhere was over-run with Isabellas, but have never found this to be the case.

I think Lucinda is also pretty, prob more unusual than Isabella.

If I had to choose, I'd go with Isabella but I am bias!!

[IsadoraQuagmire]

They're both lovely. I know a Lucinda, she always goes by her full name.

[looki]

Lucinda. I really like it. Weary of Isabel and all it's variations.

[reuset]

Isabella. The dated Linda stands out too prominently for me in Lucinda. Though both Lucindas I know never shorten their name.

[IvoryMadonna]

Lucinda can choose to be Lucy or Cindy.
Isabella can choose to be Izzy or Bella.
