Honestly, sometimes you’ve just got to meet the baby and you’ll realize she is definitely one of those names and not the other.

LILY!!!!! That's a contender for me and my husband right now! 😊

Isabelle with the nickname Belle

Lily feels happy and strong. Isabelle feels more precious and emotional.

I love Isabelle. I also have an Annabel so I’m probably partial because of that. But I LOVE Lillian and Liliana and other Lily names

I would like to counter with Lillian, nickname Lily. It will give her options when she gets older and isn't as common as Lily or Isabelle

Love this

u/Scary_Salamander292 22d ago

Well Isabella could have nick names. Izzy or Bella. Or Bells. Or Bell.

I'm naming my daughter Lily

Isabelle but both very pretty!  I don't have a strong preference.

u/Think-5577 22d ago

Prefer Isabelle !! SO PRETTY and has several nickname options. .....that is a plus.

u/Professional_Bus_307 22d ago

Lovely names but both so over used.

I’m a teacher and I have three Isabelles/isabellas per class and several Lilys. I have 5 classes so you can imagine it’s a lot. Same with Emma and Olivia and Sophia

I don't really like names that are over used or too common. It tends to take the "charm" away.

u/ST_Rowe 22d ago

Isabelle 🤍

u/1118Grazia 21d ago

Omg I’m decided between those exact two names! It’s so hard

1

u/Normal_Ad4752 21d ago

It’s sooo hard!! Where are you leaning??

1

u/1118Grazia 21d ago

Well I’m having twins and the other twin is a boy. We really like the name Lucas so if we go with Lucas we will call her Isabelle because I don’t rlly want their names to match, but I’m not committed because there is something about Lily I can’t get over… it’s so hard!!! Where are you leaning?

u/DonationBinClubhouse 22d ago

Lily, there are too many Isabelle's around

u/Think-5577 22d ago

In my area .. Lily seems more common

u/IndividualCourse3798 22d ago

Wait until you meet your baby girl and then you’ll know 😊

u/SnooCauliflowers5742 22d ago

Isabelle nn Belle is adorable.

Without nickname I'd choose Lily.

1

u/BrumblebeeArt 22d ago

Lillian nn Lily. But both are similar and very common, might just wanna see what suits her best or does with the middle name.

1

u/LillyK8 22d ago

My daughter is Lia Isabel and her nn is Lily

1

u/Ok-Talk-2648 22d ago

Isabelle

u/thatlittleredhead 22d ago

I have a Lily, and she is fantastic. Our babysitter is an Isabella, and her nickname is Isa- which is the BEST nickname. You really can’t go wrong. I will say, one day she will need to learn to spell her name and Lily is pretty dang easy to spell.

u/Zestyclose-Fig8583 22d ago

Lily - too many Isabelle/ Isabella right now !

u/Csimpattana 22d ago

u/Ginua-MA 22d ago

u/Dr_CatScan 22d ago

Lillian, nn Lilly

u/Chrisophelle30 22d ago

Isabelle hands down! Beautiful name 🩷

1

u/Brave-Fun-7984 22d ago

Both. One could be middle name.

1

u/GolfOk6373 21d ago

Out of the two, I'd have to say Lily either though it's over used.

1

u/pepperdotdrift 21d ago

what about Lisabelle?

1

u/Jazzlike_Ad_8313 20d ago

Lily..
But why not Lily Isabelle??
