[Opinions] Isabella
We're thining Isabella might be 'the name' for our fifth baby.
I know it's popular, but my other kids names are popular too (Hannah,Andrew,Matthew and Leah), so popularity is not really an issue for me.Which do you prefer?Isabella Grace (Grace is after a great aunt who doesn't have children, and our baby is due near her bday) orIsabella Katherine. (We just like Katherine, and think Ella Kate would be a cute nn).Comments and opinions welcome! Thanks!

Both combos are gorgeous, but I like the sentiment of Isabella Grace. I'd go with Isabella Grace.

I prefer Isabella Grace. Isabella Katherine is just too darn long.I much prefer Isabel, though. I find it more timeless and less frilly.

Thanks. I don't care for Isabel half as much. I like long and frilly.
Thanks for your input though!

For me, Isabella Grace is the best!! While both have a nice flow, Grace is such a beautiful middle name, and its nice that it has meaning for you. What ever middle name you chose, you really can't go wrong with Isabella (one of my all-time favs)

I like the idea of honoring someone, so I'd go with Isabella Grace. But both are pretty and have a nice flow.

I love the name Isabella, and popularity doesn't mean much to me, either.I like Grace (and only as a middle name, as you'd use it) because it's honoring someone, but Isabella Katherine flows nicely, as well.Honoring has priority, in my eyes, so I'd go with Isabella Grace.

I like them both, but IMHO Isabella Grace flows better. Ella Kate is cute, but I'm not fond of calling a child by double nns I just think its stretching it to also find a nn for a mn, I'd like it better if her name was Ella Katherine or simply Ella Kate.

My vote goes to Isabella Grace. Isabella is a great name in my opinion (but currently too popular for it to be one of my favorites).

I just did a post on Isabella, and everyone who responded, baring two or three people, loved it. "Gorgeous", "Classic", and "Timeless" came up a lot. I, personally, adore it! If I had a DD this minute, I would name her Isabella. Bex, another user here on BtN, has a young cousin named Isabella Grace! In your case, I'd say go for it. :D-Kate

I like Ella Kate, and would use that on it's own. I don't like Isabella at all and it's so overused at this point. Grace and Katherine are beautiful.

I like Isabella Katherine. A mix of popular and tradition... Ella Kate is a cute nickname.
