Elizabeth or Isabella?

David&Me · December 2008

We can't agree! We did agree her nn will be Ella either way (he is opposed to ONLY naming her Ella).

Which would you choose?

One advantage of Elizabeth is the ability to change nicknames as time goes by. I've gone by Elizabeth, Liz, Ellie, Libby - all in my 34 years Isabella is a bit more limited, IMHO, but also a very nice name!

You get more bang for your buck with Elizabeth, but neither is a bad choice.

AshNicole331 · December 2008

I think both are great choices. I've always thought Elizabeth is such a beautiful name...and I think Elli is a very cute nickname.

Alexandra*sMom · December 2008

I prefer Elizabeth.

DH's Step Brother has a daughter named Izabell and MIL and SFIL are always calling her Elizabeth (to us at least!).

Stellar1 · December 2008

I vote for Elizabeth, it may be one of our top choices.

Gretto · December 2008

I like Isabella.? Very cute, and sophisticated.? You could also call her Bella or Belle, I love Ella too.

Wan-naBe · December 2008

i like both names. ?not that it matters, but isabella was just named as the #1 baby girl name of 2008.

Elizabeth. It's stood the test of time

Lilmel48 · December 2008

I am late, but I vote Isabella.

britt2537 · December 2008

i love both! they are both on my list of girls names

aeg51107 · December 2008

They're both pretty, but I think like pp said, Isabella is #1 and it's a little overdone (i know quite a few isabellas)

Elizabeth is a classic name that I love!

Jason'swife · December 2008

I like Isabella, but a good point was made about different options as far as nicknames with Elizabeth.

MrsTeague · December 2008

Elizabeth is a classic. I like it better than Isabella.

jaredswife · December 2008

Elizabeth

daisycook · December 2008

Elizabeth since I don't particularly care for "Isabella Ella"

deuxbellesfille · December 2008

I have never thought of Ella as a nickname for Elizabeth so my vote would have to be Isabella

divakat · December 2008

I like both, but Elizabeth is less common now adays. I know at least 5 Isabella's. Plus you have more nickname options like Elise, Eliza, Liz, Elle, Ella, Beth, etc.
