No dog in this fight, but I love the name Isabel or Isabella. So pretty in full. I have my daughter a similar name and didn’t prefer the nickname, but her elementary school nicknames stuck for some time and it actually grew on me. Kids have a way of forming a name to themselves. It’s endearing.

We are a bilingual dual-citizenship Hispanic family. She goes by “Bella-Bella” or the version discussed below at home. Her school is also about 1/3 made up of dual citizenship Latin American English/spanish-speaking students.
In Spanish it is pronounced "ee-sah-BEH-lah”.
“ee-sah” is a common short form in Latin America. That has stuck with her at school to the point that even the high schoolers know her as “ee-sah”. She isn’t particularly fond of it, but she’s accepted it.
Similarly, in Italian, it’s pronounced “ee-zah-BEH-lah”. And Isa (pronounced “ee-zah” rhymes with Pisa) is also a nickname for it.

I hate it.
I assume it was a childhood nickname that just stuck. Note--she goes by Isabel in Paris. But then she tells Conrad to call her Belly.

Belly is a better name than Isabella or Bella or Izzy.

would she ever want to go by Belly? I'm watching The Summer I Turned Pretty and just can't imagine going by Belly past about age four.
