Opinions on baby names please?

[luisa778]

Hi. I have a four day old baby and I have still not decided on a name for her yet. I like Isabella and I like elizabella, both obviously with Bella as a nickname. What ate your thoughts on both please? Thanks xx

Isabella is nice, Elizabella seems made up.

Isabella, I do agree with PP the other name sounds a bit made up.

Isabella. Congratulations!

Agree with @takemebacktomarch7th - Isabella. Is Elizabella a name? I've never heard of it.

Eliza is nice or Elizabeth but I don’t like Elizabella. Arabella?

Isabella is lovely

Def isabella. Agree with previous poster elizabella seems too made up and would get confused with an Elizabeth or Isabella anyway

Isabella by a mile
Eliza or Elizabeth is really nice but not Elizabella

Thanks for your replies. I only ever heard the name elizabella because Alyssa Milano named her daughter this a few years ago and I always quite liked it as I am not so keen on Elizabeth. I do like Isabella but I am put off a ittle bit by it's popularity, so I just thought i would ask for some opinions on both.

Isabella

Elizabella took me a few attempts to read because it was quite jarring

Isabella.

Other names which could have Bella as nickname: Annabella, Maribella, Christabella, Rosabella, Mirabella, Corabella, Zarabella

It looks like Isabella with El stuck at the front to make yet another El- name.

How about Lisette?

Isabella

Isabella is lovely.

Isabella is lovely. It's been around for a long time which appeals to me as well, it has that medieval queen vibe, like Eleanor.

Elizabella looks like a bit like a typo for the Italian Elisabetta. Is it Elle Is A Bella (i.e. the Eliz is like the Eliz in Elizabeth) or El Eye Za Bella (i.e. the Eliz is like the Eliz in Eliza?)

Also Isabel is the medieval Spanish version of Elizabeth and Isabella the Italian version (all derived from the Hebrew Elisheba). Elisabel was the medieval latin version. So Elizabella seems less a mash up of two names and more a mash up of different versions of the same name.

(I confess I find myself quite liking Elisabel)

Elizabetta is the Italian version of Elizabeth- fewer ‘made up name’ vibes but still unusual here and can have loads of different shortenings.

Usually spelt Elisabetta in Italy - very pretty.

Congratulations!
Isabella is lovely.
Elizabella is a bit of a mouthful, and agree with others that it does sound made up.

Congrats!
Isabella, definitely not Elizabella which sounds a bit mad

Isabella

Isabella or Elizabetta - not sure of Elizabella

What about Annabelle or Arabella if you like that ending?

I like Elisabel too
[misses point of thread]

Eloisa or Eloise could be a nice alternative? I agree that Elizabella is jarring somehow, have to think twice as you read it to get it right. Isabella is lovely, though extremely popular at the moment (if that matters to you, it may not!)
