Baby girls name..thoughts??

Think we have decided on Isabel Emilia for a girls name. Dd1 is Mia.

Reason for spelling Isabel as opposed to longer versions is we prefer the shorter version.

Thoughts??? 💗

Emilia is too similar to Mia. You could actually get the name Mia from Emilia

I agree with baby spider. Repetitive!

NatashaAlianovaRomanova · 25/04/2020 13:23

If Emilia is the middle name & won't be used on a regular basis then it's similarity to Mia is irrelevant.

I like Isabel & have a friend who spells it that way.

difficulttod · 25/04/2020 13:23

Personally I find Emilia and Mia both a bit "meh".
And I prefer the spelling Isobel.

Crazykat21 · 25/04/2020 13:26

Just to clarify Emilia is just the middle name so won't be used regularly if hardly at all

I like it but the most important thing is that you do!

Crazykat21 · 25/04/2020 13:33

I lOVE the name Isabel Emilia but was thinking and worried people would react the way they have above to it because of Mia 🙈😭

Both names bit too common and similar

daisypond · 25/04/2020 13:48

Isabel is a lovely name. It is popular but it’s nice.

Astronica · 25/04/2020 14:09

Isabel Emilia sounds lovely. And this is a good spelling of Isabel - I much prefer it over Isabelle. I really like Mia and Isabel as sisters too. All up sounds like a lovely choice!

Whatsyourflava · 25/04/2020 14:19

Beautiful name @Crazykat21

Crazykat21 · 25/04/2020 18:53

Ah thank you @Whatsyourflava 💗

Isabel is the standard spelling and is the nicest IMO.

Mia and Isabel are fine.

DramaAlpaca · 25/04/2020 18:56

Isabel Emilia is a very pretty name and is perfectly fine with Mia.

Crazykat21 · 25/04/2020 18:59

Do you guys think Isabel or Isla is nicer??

OP posts:
YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 25/04/2020 19:00

Isabel, definitely

Bluewater1 · 25/04/2020 19:02

I think Isabel Emilia is a beautiful name.
I like Isla very much too but slightly prefer Isabel as I like the shortened version of Issy/ Izzy too
Doesn't matter it's similar to Mia as iEmilia is going to be the middle name

Hannah021 · 25/04/2020 19:04

Do u really need a second name?

Isabel is lovely on its own

Fleamaker123 · 25/04/2020 19:07

I prefer Isabel too, whenever I see Isla I have to try to remember how to pronounce it!
Isabel and Mia are beautiful names, Emilia fine as middle name too. Gorgeous!

daisypond · 25/04/2020 19:08

Isabel is nicer than Isla.

user1493494961 · 25/04/2020 19:44

Isabel Emilia is lovely.

Whatsyourflava · 25/04/2020 20:01

I love both Isabel and Isla 🙈

Wheresthebiffer2 · 25/04/2020 20:06

don't go for Isla - it will be too samey with your first DD's name.

I really like Isabel.

123Dancewithme · 26/04/2020 12:35

Isabel is lovely. Emilia is fine with sister Mia as it’s a middle name.

LotusClover · 26/04/2020 14:21

Isabel is much nicer than Isla and less popular too. I don't think Emilia is too similar to Mia either, especially as it's only the middle name which won't be used on a daily basis.
