I dislike Isabella a lot. It's such a prissy name, perfect for a spoilt little princess of a girl dressed in endless frills who throws a tantrum when she doesn't get what she wants. When I was working in schools, this stereotype was very much confirmed. That being said, I can respect the history of the name and there are definitely worse names out there to lump on your child for life. But I just don't like it.

I do like Izzy as a nickname quite a lot though. In my experience, Izzy is usually the nickname for Isabel (and the spelling variants) and Isabella tends to get Bella (which I despise).
