Is Isabella usable or over done?

I love [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. Also I quite like the less frilly [name_f]Isabela[/name_f] spelling. It’s classic, beautiful, timeless.
But is it overdone?

Other options would be:

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] (I love [name_f]Lily[/name_f] but my husband prefer [name_f]Lila[/name_f])
[name_f]Romi[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Maia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]

Overdone. [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]? [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]?

Just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s not usable! If you love it, there’s no reason not to use it.

Yes. [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is overdone but a classic and still usable. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f] are very popular as well but also pretty names.
[name_f]Maia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] are my favs but you should Go with the name you love the most.

I love all the names on your list. I actually consider [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] overdone. I know it was popular particularly last decade but I have only ever known two Isabellas (I’m in Australia for reference). I think it’s very very pretty.

However my favourite on your list is [name_f]Romi[/name_f]. [name_u]Romilly[/name_u] NN [name_f]Romi[/name_f] floats around on my list so I don’t know if I’ll ever actually use it. But I love it!!

Nope, I think [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is definitely still usable! [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is my favorite girls’ name but I’ll always have a special spot in my heart for [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] or even [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]. She’s gorgeous, and loved for a very good reason. She’s popular, sure, but not overdone, imo.

I don’t consider [name_f]Isabela[/name_f] overdone (completely usable) and I love this spelling
From the other names I loveeee [name_f]Maia[/name_f]
What about [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Isabela[/name_f]

Overdone. I love [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] from your list!

I think it’s still a pretty name. I do like [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]. [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] is on my list. There’s also [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f].

It’s certainly pretty. Use it if you love it!

Having said that, yes, it is overdone. As a high schooler, I know so many Isabellas… and Izzys and Bellas and Belles…

I second [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], and [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f].

Overdone but popular names are still usable, why not if you love it.

Isabella is lovely though I’d probably avoid it if you don’t want a popular name. I love [name_f]Romi[/name_f] from your list

If you don’t want a popular name, avoid it. Otherwise, :+1:
