Thank you for your condolences.
So I went through, and so far these are the ones I liked the best:
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] (although this is probably out, since [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is also in my top 10, and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] together is just way too many popular names for one combo, for me!)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Valeria[/name_f] ([name_f]Valerie[/name_f] was suggested, but I love [name_f]Valeria[/name_f] and have been thinking about it all over again…)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] (probably not a serious contender, as I’m not a HUGE [name_f]Scarlet/name_f fan, but red is my sister’s favorite color, and could be a nod to her. Again, [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is a lot of popular names.)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] ([name_u]LOVE[/name_u] both names, but not convinced of them together. I was intrigued at first, but the combo’s been waning on me.)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Tulip[/name_f] (I had actually considered this before! I feel like [name_f]Tulip[/name_f]'s so hard to work with, though.)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] (really, really like!)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] (actually really loved [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] for a while there, and had her on my list for several months, if not a year, but I went back to [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] in the end)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f] (don’t think I like it as much as [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] Eugénie, which is in my signature, though)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (aww, [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], I love that you know me so well! But I don’t like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] Amélie [name_f]Grace[/name_f] as much as [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] Amélie [name_f]Eyre[/name_f], OR my [name_f]Zara[/name_f] combo, [name_f]Zara[/name_f] Amélie [name_f]Spring[/name_f], so I think it’s probably out)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] (I love this one, [name_f]Luna[/name_f]! Too bad I don’t like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] so much…)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Mireille[/name_f] ([name_f]Lauren[/name_f], excepting the fact that this doesn’t honor my grandmother, it would have been perfect! I’m usually not even into [name_f]Mireille[/name_f], but [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Mireille[/name_f] is breathtakingly gorgeous!)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (aww, this was my first [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] combo! [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] don’t really work in one combo, though.)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] (used to [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], so I like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] just by similarity, but I don’t like it quite so much as I love [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] together)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Zorina[/name_f] (think I prefer just [name_f]Zora[/name_f], though?)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] (would have been perfect, @fifi, if I wasn’t pairing it with [name_f]Grace[/name_f]!)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] (used to [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] this, too, when I first fell for [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]!)
Unfortunately, I can only imagine using a couple ([name_f]Amoret[/name_f], [name_f]Ayelet[/name_f], [name_f]Annora[/name_f], MAYBE [name_u]Winter[/name_u]). Unfortunately, I just seem to be inordinately picky where [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is concerned! I have [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] on my backburner, though, and am toying with [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] right now. I’ll let [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] ruminate, see if they grow on me at all.
If anyone else wants to take a stab at it, though, I’m all ears! Thanks, Berries!
here’s the thing about it, I say it is the best for me because it is very significant and meaningful to me. So that’s the route I suggest you to take. The names of people/character who inspire you, books and music you love, etc. It took me a long time to find one I am satisfied too, not four years, but maybe close.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you don’t mind.
