[Opinions] Isabella!
I know the name Isabella has been asked about before. But I just wanted fresh new opinions since names can change on people.
Aside from being popular. What is your opinion of the name Isabella overall? Also, what do you think of the combo Isabella Lynette or do you prefer Isabella Lynn?
Thanks!

I adore the name Isabella. It's been in my top 20 names for a couple years. It's also one of only a small handful of girls names that both I and my SO love. The very unfortunate thing is that his last name is pronounced like Fent (as in Elephent!) so any names with even a remote Ella or strong Elle ending are out. That means another favorite of mine Annabel too! *cries*
I think Isabella is so gorgeous. It just has a sophisticated air about it. It is very frilly but a tom-boy could go by Izzy so I think it's well-rounded.
I like the sound of Isabella Lynette. I've never been crazy about Lynn as I've known so many who have it as their middle name.

I much prefer Isobel.
Despite the popularity of the name Isabella, I think it's very pretty and elegant. I don't like Isabella Lynette/Lynn because it doesn't really flow. The "ella" and "lyn" part sort of run into each other. But if I had to choose, I'd say Isabella Lynn.
I'm so sick of Isabella. I was never a fan of the name, too frilly.
I prefer Isabelle, but Isabella is okay. Thing is, I can't stand Bella as a nickname to Isabella. Bella is okay on its own but it has a completely different feel than what Isabella has. However Belle doesn't seem to. I always think of Queen Isabella when I hear the name, very elegant but rarely ever are Isabellas called by their whole name.
I don't like any of those middle names.

I like it. It's not a favorite but I think it's a pretty name, solid and I prefer it to Isabelle.
Also, I prefer Isabella Lynn to Isabella Lynette. I've never liked names ending in -ette.
And I'm going to be obnoxious ;) and keep suggesting Linn as an alternative to Lynn. Isabella Linn looks really nice in my opinion.

I really like Isabella. It's actually my second favorite girl's name. I also like Isabelle/Isobel a lot but Isabella is a bit softer imo.
Isabella Lynette and Isabella Lynn aren't really my style. In general I tend to dislike -ette names. I like Isabella Linnéa and Isabella Caroline as combos. Someone once also suggested that if I ever have a daughter and name her Isabelle, the combo Isabelle Terese would be lovely and I kind of like it (disregarding the fact that I would name her after myself).

I really don't like the name Isabella, and I don't understand why it's so popular. I think the initial syllable is unattractive, and ruins the name. It always makes me think of dark, middle-aged woman with a mustache. I'm glad it's not my name.
LOL!
I've never imagined an Isabella like a middle-aged woman with a mustache! It's funny how many different associations one can get from one name. To me Isabella is a blonde/light princess-like, young girl, but you may just have given me some new associations LOL!

Isabella is sweet. It's incredibly popular and pretty and usable. I know three under the age of 9, and know of others. I used to find it a bit 'meh', but then I met a little girl with the name who is one of the more awesome kids I have ever met. I still don't love it, but I like it a whole lot more than I used to.
I still prefer Isabel - less flowery and more 'spreadable' (to age groups, situations, etc. I know there is a better word for this concept but it is 1.40am where I am and my brain is not at its best!)
Isabella Lynn and Isabella Lynette are quite boring IMO. Lynn is one of those ultimate filler mns, so unless the name has special meaning for you, I'd look for something a bit more exciting. Also the 'l's in the two names run together a bit and make it difficult to say. If I had to choose between them, though, I'd go with Isabella Lynette.
