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 actually had the opposite experience with the name Isabella. (Which I prefer over Isabelle.) I really disliked the name until I heard the nickname Bella (pronounced the Spanish way.) being used for a friends niece. I loved the nickname, and Isabella has really started to grow on me. I guess it can go both way.s
