We are trying for our third child. I have 2 boys named Jacob Dominick and Isaac Joseph. If I were to have a girl the third time I'm thinking of the name Ella Clare or Ella Kate. I would like to nn her Bella because my Mom is Italian and that's what her nn was as a child. Her name is Mary Louise. I like Isabella but since I already have an Isaac I'm not sure that goes well for us. What do you all think?


Thanks,


Kristina

I dont think Isabella and Isaac are to close, but for the nn Bella:

Arabella
Mirabella
Elisabeth
Bellamie
Annabelle
Sybil
Belinda
Mabel

Or you can name her something (Haven for an example) W/ a middle name Belle so her Full name is Haven Belle, but call her Belle or Bella

I like the idea of Belle as the mn.
Cecilia Belle
Jocelyn Belle

Abigail Belle

Good luck,

Really the only name ending in belle or bella that I like is Isabella. Still not sure if I want to put it so close to Isaac. What do you guys think of Ella with nn Bella at times?

Ella, nn Bella works for me! Ella is a lovely, classic name that fits well with your boys. Ella Kate is charming, but I really like Ella Louise, Ella Lu would be a fun at home nn :)

Good luck,
Brooke

It's funny you said Louise. That's my middle name too. I'll have to consider that also.


Thanks for the input.

I think Isabella and Isaac are a bit close.
