After posting our list a while ago and taking into account your suggestions I have really started to like the name Isabelle. My husband likes it as well and we added it to our list.
It was suggested as an alternative to Isabella (which was on our list and still is) and many people said that Isabella was too common.
I like them both a lot but I have since heard that people say it's common as well so I don't know which would be the better choice out of these two.
We are adjusting our list right now so it would help us if you could tell us which one we should keep.
Which one is more common where you are?
Popularity isn't everything to us, which one do you like better in general? The sound or any associations the names give you? We would just like to avoid her always having to be Isabella Lastname or "the short Isabelle" etc.
We would use the full names mostly but sometimes Belle for Isabelle and Belle or Bella (which do you prefer?) for Isabella.
Is Isabella still associated with Twilight? Someone in the other thread mentioned it. What about Bella? Maybe better to use Belle for both?
Sorry, this got long.
We are sure about the spellings so we wouldn't consider Isabel or Isobel.
