Isabella vs. Bella vs. Belle

My husband and I are trying to decide on a name for our first daughter, and we love names that have "bell" in them. We’re concerned that Isabella might be too popular, but if we give her the name Bella, people with tease her or remind her of the Twilight books. We like the alternative Belle a lot, but some in-laws have said that it seems to short to be a full name...what do you guys think? Thanks so much for the help!!!!

I’m not a huge fan of Belle as a first name because it’s kind of short and reminds me of Beauty and the Beast!

I LOVE Isabella, nn Bella! I wouldn’t worry about popularity (beautiful names are popular for a reason). If you love Isabella, you should use it. You may regret it if you don’t!

if you like the sound belle go with that. Belle is beautiful. Isabelle will be shortened to "Belle" anyway because it’s 2 syllables. take it from me, i have a 3 syllable name and no one has every pronounced all 3--they always shorten it. I wouldn’t worry about names being too short. (John comes to mind.)

I like Isabella/Isabelle Arabella/Arabelle. But definitely don’t be afraid to go short. Belle is beautiful.
