I have been noticing that alot of you HATE the name Issabella nn Bella. Why? I think the names is very pretty myself, but thats just me. Do you have any other cute names that would go with Emmaleigh Louise nn Emma??

I actually have Isabella as one of my choices for my baby girl's name. My boyfriend came up with it from the disney movie Hillary Duff plays in as a princess named Isabella. I'm in-between on this name. I do really like it...we probably would call her Bella for short if we choose this. I would choose Isabella over the other choice Emmaleigh.

I have a poll "which baby girl name would you pick"...please help me choose from my choices. Thanx

A Heather chiming in (who was born in the 70's, with a sister named Kimberly, and 2 cousins Jennifer and Melissa, so there's the top 4 names of the 70's right there).

Isabella isnt bad but I just dont like Bella and I dont know why other then I know about 10 of them..... I try to steer clear of over used names even though, Cierra and Savannah ended up becoming popular when I used them....

I certainly don't hate the name; not even close! I think it's lovely when I think of it on its own merits...but, as many before have mentioned, it is so commonly heard that it's starting to lose its shine. It is over-saturated to the point of having little "wow" left.

Other ideas:

Antoinette
Simona
Georgia

I agree with many of the other posts. Isabella is EXTREMELY popular and I think people are just getting tired of it. It is the one name that I see more in our local birth announcements than any other. There are at least one or two every week out of about 15 births. If that doesn't bother you by all means use it.

Thanks for all of you replies, but I really love the name Isabella bb Bella. Belle is nms. I think this is the name we are stongely in love with right know. So, If it is a girl, then Isabella. Not sure on a middle name though!!
