Help[Opinions] Re: Isabella
in reply to a message by Perrine
I've always hated it. I think the "iz" sound is ugly, and it always makes me think of a dark middle-aged overweight woman who has a mustache.
Many years ago, when I was about 12 years old, my then brother-in-law began singing a dumb song that he was making up as he went along, a song that featured the name Isabella and that seemed to be mocking it. I can't remember what prompted him to do it. He was distorting words slightly to rhyme with Isabella. Part of it, for example:
My name is Isabella
La la la la, la la la la
My name is Isabella
I run a little della (deli)
My name is Isabella
Don't you think I'm swella?
Punctuated frequently with the "la la la" refrain.
Every time I see or hear the name, that "song" starts running through my head, so maybe my former brother-in-law prejudiced me against it early on lol.

Well the moment I divorced my bother-in-law became an outlaw; he continued dropping my name--amidst other choice words--to add insult to injury - smile.
