Some names that are already kind of popular are starting to grow on me. There's one name I really like because I love the sound of it and it's really pretty.

I'm loving the name Isabelle, but with the spelling, Isobel.

I usually don't like the more "common" names, but this one has won me over. <3


Some name combinations I like are:

Isobel Ava
Isobel Bay
Isobel Nathalia
Isobel Mercy
Isobel Blaise
Isobel Ever
Isobel Ember

Feedback or more suggestions would be great. (:

I adore the name Isobel & it is on my list. [Though my Niece's name is Isabella so I cant use it.]
It is quite popular.. but then again no wonder, its just gorgeous!!
I wouldnt worry too much about popularity, I tend to think more so if I love the name then I would go ahead and use it.
As I said in your previous topic, Isobel Ava is fit for a princess.

I wouldn't worry about popularity! Because though people make such a big fuss about it, it really isn't a big deal. Because now adays, just because a name is popular, doesn't mean everyone is using it! Like, many, MANY years ago when Mary and John where popular... when EVERYONE seemed to be named Mary or John! Because at that time, a name had many more users and all! But if you looked at our popularity ranks these years, it's not half as bad. Especially in comparison to the amount of babies born each year! So yeah, Isobel would probably have a couple Isabel/Isabelle's in her class (mainly Isabella's though...), its not a big deal.

Lol. that was a long blurb... but I do love Isabel personally, though currently Isolde is on my list <3 And Maeve Isabel / Maeve Isolde is on my list, if it helps any!

These of your combo's I like!

Isobel Ava
Isobel Nathalia
Isobel Ever
Isobel Ember

I would avoid names with B's in them, as the B's just really stick out and kinda clash :/ But otherwise, those are all gorgeous! :angry: Hope this helps! :(
