We have a daughter named [name]Bella[/name]. Could we use [name]Isobel[/name] or are those just too similar?

Thanks!

I love both these names, but I think they are too close. Sorry!

No, don’t be sorry! I need perspective! Thank you for your honesty

I definitely think [name]Bella[/name] and [name]Isobel[/name] are too close, even if you were to call them [name]Bella[/name] and [name]Izzy[/name]. [name]Do[/name] you like any other names with the ‘[name]Izzy[/name]’ nn, like [name]Isadora[/name] or [name]Isolde[/name] for example?

I think you could call her [name]Izzy[/name] as her official name - [name]Bella[/name] and [name]Izzy[/name] is ok - but [name]Bella[/name] and [name]Isobel[/name] is too close for me.

Yes, It’d be like [name]Bella[/name] and [name]Belle[/name].

What other names do you like?

Ummm, ya! [name]Bella[/name] is a nickname for [name]Isobel[/name] or [name]Isabella[/name] so you really cant do that!
