Is a bell? Is this something people say IRL? And even if they did, it’s one of the more benign name ‘taunts’ imo.

Isabel is lovely. :)

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 14/01/2018 08:08

Oh ffs @ the people saying “is a bell”. Is this someone irl? Ridiculous.

I actually prefer the Isobel spelling anyway, so maybe that’s less “is a bell” ish?

Livia is nice too, but if you like Olivia best, then it’s a lovely name. Popular for a reason! Go for what you love and what suits dd.

Don’t let people being negative irl put you off Isabel though. I can’t believe how rude people can be about baby names when you’ve just given birth! We had it too, with our dd’s name and, three years later, I still think the person who did it is a giant dick for doing so. The only people whose opinions matter are you and your dp.

I've got a 10 week old Isobel - Izzy for short

I know they're overused but so are a lot of names such as Sophie, Sophia, Mia, Emily etc etc etc
I don't like the made up sounding names or quirky names just to be different...

People are saying "is a bel" necessary on a bike - never heard this joke before but don't want her getting irritated by it forever!

Other option may be "Livia"

Isabel.

Olivia so so so overused. Isabella a bit frilly.

Mrsknackered · 14/01/2018 02:41

Olivia. It's beautiful. I absolutely love Liv Thanks

FundayMorning · 14/01/2018 01:59

Have a good look at the top 100 baby names - there must be more names you like!

Take your time. And congrats!!!!!

Joeybee · 14/01/2018 00:35

They are all lovely names VERY popular though.
I personally like Olivia as I think it is elegant and feminine but strong and intelligent sounding. Whereas Isabel.Isabella is a bit cutesy sounding. Prefer Isabella over Isabel too.

LadyMarmyLard · 13/01/2018 20:54

Don’t panic, there’s no rush to name her straight away.

They’re all lovely names so pick the one that feels right and that suits her. Don’t worry about popularity or what anyone else thinks.
I like Isabel!

Congratulations x

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 13/01/2018 18:57

AnyaMoondial · 13/01/2018 17:52

Congratulations!!! Isabel (that spelling) is my favourite too.

ladybirdsaredotty · 13/01/2018 17:46

Ah congratulations!

I'm voting for Olivia. I only know 1, and she's 17! Plus I think Liv is gorgeous.

But the others are nice too Smile

BewareOfDragons · 13/01/2018 17:39

If those are the 3 finalist names, I like Isabel most.
