I met my first Isabelle today. It's never been a name that I cared about either way, but when I heard it on an actual person, I thought, "wow, it's entirely way too princess-y, over-the-top, and only works in theory."

So, whether that's your opinion or not, I was wondering: do any of you have names that you liked until you heard it on an actual person, and then just thought, "wow, that does not work"?

I named my cat Isabel after queen Isabella of Spain, so yeah, I get the princessy side of it :) My mom's first response was "Well, now you can't name your child that..." So?
