We’re currently deciding on a name for our baby girl (and her twin brother)! So far we have Isabelle or Isabella on the top of our list, and we’ve gotten rid of Isabel or Isobel because hubby thinks it looks incomplete, along with all other variations like Isadora. I do love all variants of Isabel but especially Isabelle and Isabella, which would be an awesome nod to our French-Italian background!
Reasons we like Isabelle and Isabella: Isabelle has such a nice French feel to it and is less obvious than Isabella. Isabella is absolutely beautiful and we love the extra syllable, but it is sadly too popular.
For a middle name, we’re thinking of a flower name like Rose, Lily, Iris, Rosemary, Rosalind, Florence, Fleur, etc., but we don’t want to be too obvious. For her brother, we’re thinking of something along the line of Jacob Edmund, Jacob Anthony, or Jacob Marius.
Please let us know which one you’d prefer in this case–Isabelle or Isabella–and also which middle names would go well with it!
I think [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] would all go well!
I love both, but [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is my favorite! [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] would be beautiful! Let me just say that [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is an incredible name!
Both [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] would be great, though I prefer [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]. For middle names, I really like [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]. Also, I really like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]. I feel it looks more complete.
I like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] from your options of middle names for you. I also like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] better, I think. Here are some thoughts I had for middles, (starred ones aren’t floral):
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Anemone[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Blossom[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Bryony[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Briar[/name_u]*
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Camellia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Camille[/name_u]*
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Celandine[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Cleome[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Dianthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Fioralba[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Fiore[/name_u]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Floris[/name_u]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ione[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Lacey[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Posie[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Snapdragon[/name_u] (a little wild, I know, but this is one of my favourites, so I wanted to throw it in)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Thalette[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
Isabelle is super pretty! I like ‘[name_f]Belle[/name_f]’ as a nickname and if she wants, she can be called [name_u]Isa[/name_u] too! They’re both super pretty, though.
I slightly prefer [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], but [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is gorgeous! I think because of the extra syllable, [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] needs a shorter middle name. You really can’t go wrong though.
Isabelle one hundred percent! I am a teacher and see SO many little Isabellas running around. It’s getting way overused. I also just prefer [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] in general too.
I like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f].
I’d go with [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], it’s less popular and sounds more interesting to me. You could use [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_u]Isa[/name_u], [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], or Sella as nicknames in alternative to oh-so-popular [name_f]Bella[/name_f] and [name_u]Izzy[/name_u]. For her brother, I like [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], as [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] also has a flower meaning!
I like:
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
Any of these would go great with [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]. I’d also suggest:
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Acacia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Bryony[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Blossom[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Posy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] (so pretty!)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Petunia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Saige[/name_u]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
Another vote for [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] are my favorites, and I think they make a better match for [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], but if you’ve nixed them I still think the sleek [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is nicer than [name_f]Bella[/name_f].
