[Opinions] Co-worker BA
Isabella JulianneI like Isabella, aside from its popularity. I just don't like Izzy for a NN, so I hope she escapes that!

I knew a girl in college and she ended up being an Izzy. I hope she avoids this because the name made her seem ugly to me even though she wasn't a bad-looking girl. Although after the pretty girl on Grey's Anatomy, this may be changed. I just remember thinking the girl was ugly because she had an ugly name.

Congratulations to your co-worker and family. I love each name individually, although I don't think they flow well together. But kudos to the parents for choosing classic names and not using a filler mn. Besides, the names might honor people in which case flow is irrelevant. So overall, thumbs up from me.

I would never personally use Isabella (I would use Isobel though), but it is certainly a very pretty combo...

It's nice enough though I'd rather see Julianne as the fn rather than another Isabella (as pretty as it is).

AgreedJulianne Isabella flows much better and Isabella as a fn does need a rest.

I love Julianne, but I don't like Isabella, I just can't warm to it at all.Even before all the Isabel type names became so popular, I was on an Isabel overload, as it has long been well used (or dare I say over used) in Hispanic cultures.

My co-worker's DH has a Hispanic background. I personally prefer 'Isobel,' but probably only as a MN, if at all.

It's a nice name, but I'm seeing way too much of it. Julianne makes a nice middle name, though.

It isn't bad, but it's too frilly for my taste. I like Isa for a nn.
