Could we do one last voting? Please give me your favourite and least favourite:

Eva-Marie
Eva Marie
Isabelle
Isabella

Some Pros and Cons on each name would be amazing.

Some notes:

Eva-Marie - we would call her by both names but we are aware that she might prefer just Eva later on and that's fine with us.

Eva Marie - we'd still call her by both names, but it would be easier for her to drop the second part should she want to.

Isabelle - we only like this spelling. We wouldn't use a nickname but if people wanted to call her something we'd offer Bella as we dislike Izz and Izzy. We do think Izzy is avoidable as we've met a few who went by full name/different nickname.

Isabella - mostly by full name but sometimes Bella, depends on how it works out really, we like both.

Thanks so much for your help!

Isabelle is the best. I don’t like any of the others. I do like Maria on it’s own.

I love Eva Marie, but I’m Catholic and I don’t know if that’s swinging it for me. It has a Catholic vibe to me. I prefer it non-hyphenated as I’m not keen on double barrelled names.

Isobella takes the edge over Isobelle to me, because I just like the a ending better. It works better if you think you will use Bella too.

Isabella.
Eva Marie seems a bit of a mouthful for me. Also my first name is two names without a hyphen and I was constantly called my first name only. I introduced a hyphen ..made no difference. So I started running the two names together. That worked. However that’s not really an option for Eva Marie. You say you don’t mind if she is just called Eva..but she might.
I like Isabelle as well but would choose Isabella.

Isabella

I like Isabella best as it has the most nickname options. They're all quite popular names so she might want to differentiate between her name and others.
The worst for me is Eva-Marie. I have absolutely no idea why, totally irrational, but I just hate hyphenated first names.

I like Isabella NN Bella the most. Gorgeous.

I like Isabelle the most and Eva-Marie the least. I don't hyphenated names. Eva Marie is nice, too but I would just call her Eva on a day to day basis. I don't like Isabella - too frilly !
