Considering the name isabelle/isabel/isobel...but we have a cat called Bella. Are the names too similar??
Nn would be izzy - not Bella.

(I do prefer Isabella but for me, it is definitely too similar!)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

The cat will not live nearly as long as your daughter so use the name Isabelle in whatever form you prefer if you really love it.

If you like Isabelle then I would use it, your daughter's name should override that of your cats.

You can't guarantee she won't want to go by belle. However I think they are all lovely names. I prefer Isobel

It's for vote for Isabel for me (I have one named after my mums middle name). Love it and don't think the cat name is an issue / too similar. Go for it!

I LOVE Isabelle (DDs middle name and so pretty!). I love Isabella too ❤️

I'd remember that you're naming the child for life and with the best will in the world the cat won't be around forever so I wouldn't let that be a factor. As an adult nobody ever asks me what my childhood pets were called!

Ps I love the name Isabelle

Yea it's the same name

It's a no from me. Also because Isabelle/Izzy/Bella is such a boring and overused name sorry to say. Even worse if you have two in the house!

SpaceJamtart · 22/07/2022 22:27

I'm not sure why but Isobel/ Isabel seems seperate from Bella and feels fine
Isabelle/Isabella way closer and a bit like you picked a name to match the cat

Too similar in my opinion
