is this a popular name?

[moonandstars99]

i’m due a little girl in november and i’ve been struggling with names for so long! i’ve finally come across a name that i love which is isabelle, but is the name considered popular? i don’t know of anybody called isabelle so i think leaning toward that name for her

I love it and I know it’s popular but I have never known a single one and I’m a teacher of 25 years. None of my dc’s friends either.

It’s quite popular, especially if you think of the similar Isabella/Bella which will add to its popularity ‘feel.’ However, there’s a reason it’s popular, it’s a beautiful name.

Its a really nice name. Go for it if you like it.

It’s lovely (I like the Isabel spelling myself) but if the popularity bothers you you could try:
Arabelle/a
Isadora
Elizabelle/a
Imelda

If you add the Isabels. Isabelles, Isabellas. Isobels all together, it is very popular.

Another name that is likely to be on a downward trend so she is likely to be a younger person with the name.

If you add up all the different spellings - yes it's super popular.
My 17 year old had 4 in her class (with total of 14 girls) throughout primary school. It's the second most popular name in her year group at secondary school. We also knew lots of others a similar age.
It's probably a bit less popular now - but still very popular!

Very popular. My eldest is 13 and there is at least one in every year group from her age down. Sometime multiple isabelles.
It is still a lovely name.

Yes we know loads too I'm afraid

In my real life, no, don’t know any across DS’s classes (2 school classes, 2 nursery classes)

Obviously statistically yes very popular.

Very popular. Sadly vetoed by my husband as apparently a girl in his niece's class gets called Isabelle-end

DD has Isobel, Isabelle and Isabella in her pre school class but there seem to be fewer in the younger nursery groups

There are lots of derivations that are incredibly popular. I work in a school and although I have the names of the 4-5 similarly named girls in our year down, I admit I sometimes a struggle to remember whether it's Isabel, Isobel, Isabelle, Isabella or Izzy I'm dealing with.

I work with children and have come across lots of Isabelle/Isabellas but if you love it don't let popularity put you off!

I know loads of them right across the lifespan. Such an elegant timeless name.

Don't do it, it's so boring and overused! And Izzy is even worse
