Emilia Primrose
Isobel Primrose
Isobel Eve

and then there’s the Isabelle or Isobel debacle 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thoughts? We like want classic names with the possibility of shortening them.

Isobel Primrose.

Both were on my list if we had a girl!

KangarooKenny · 09/08/2022 08:38

I prefer the Isobel spelling, but I like Emilia more.

Mumofgirls2017 · 09/08/2022 08:47

Isobel Primrose that spelling!

IsThePopeCatholic · 09/08/2022 09:40

Isobel eve

I like Isabel Primrose (this spelling) Emilia is also very pretty. Not too keen on Eve personally but it’s a perfectly fine name. Congratulations!

Emilia and Isabel are VERY popular and have been for a few years... think they will sound dated soon as they fall out of fashion

I find Primrose much more interesting and refreshing.

I don't agree with this for Isabel, it's very classic and I know ones from their 50's to toddlers and it suits them all.
I prefer Isabel to Emilia but i'm not keen on Primrose or Eve with either.

Penfelyn · 10/08/2022 04:33

I much prefer Emilia to Isabelle, but don't care for Primrose as a middle name.

Riverlee · 10/08/2022 05:04

Emilia Primrose. Gorgeous name.

toffeechai · 10/08/2022 07:49

I love Emilia.

Heckythump1 · 10/08/2022 07:55

I'm not keen on either if i'm honest.... both going to have issues with spelling... Emelia will get Amelia forever and nobody will remember which way you're spelling Isobel/Isabelle.
I think i'd go Amelia personally :)

Jemimapinotduck · 10/08/2022 10:17

Really really really dislike primrose sorry and I have a beautiful Isabel so I'd go with Isabel eve ☺️

I absolutely love the name Isobel and always have. It seems to be very popular right now if that is something you worry about, as is the Amelia type names and as is the Eve type names - so just to bear that in mind. All the different spellings of Isobel/Isabelle/Isabella etc - still probably get nicknamed Izzie or Belle so that's also something to consider too that there might be more people with versions of the names but same day to day shortenings. I personally don't like the name Emilia very much. I'm not keen on any of the Amelia/Emilia type names but that's just me. It feels a bit like "Emily" was popular a while back, but then people decided it was "dated" and added an a on. I prefer Emily to Emilia myself. And Emma.

alotoftutus · 10/08/2022 14:08

Emilia and Isabelle (prefer that spelling) are two of my favourite girls names. I think with primrose as a middle name I prefer Emilia.

AliBaliBears · 10/08/2022 18:32

Much prefer Isobel to Emilia, and love Eve as a middle name.

peoplepleaser17 · 10/08/2022 19:08

I prefer the Isabelle spelling, purely because of the 'belle'! Eve is a really pretty middle name, and works nicely after Isobel/Isabelle however you spell it!

PritiPatelsMaker · 10/08/2022 21:48

Isobel Primrose.

RuthW · 10/08/2022 21:50

Primrose Eve

Far too many Isobels/Isabelles etc

turquoise1988 · 10/08/2022 21:52

I always felt like Emilia was a made-up alternative to Amelia? I could be wrong though.

I like Isabelle best!

EveSix · 10/08/2022 21:55

You don't need to decide as soon as your baby is born.
Take your time to decide once she's here, you'll have 42 days from her DOB. Plenty of time!

Isobel Eve

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/08/2022 00:47

Isabel Eve

Primrose is the wettest name in existence.

Isabel is more of a classic than Emilia so, given they have both been very popular lately, it will date less.

Isabel is the usual and classic spelling in England so stick to that. Isobel if you are Scottish.
