    my youngest is Bellah and not named because of twilight named well before i heard of twilight! I wanted Isabella but DH didnt want her getting called Izzy so we settled on Bellah. I believe you should go with a name you love not because of what movie it is or isnt in, from what i have experienced you are always going to get questions/comments on the babies name regardless of what you pick.
    Good luck and best wishes for the birth of your baby

    We were going to call my DD Isabella, but decided there were too many Isabella's around so we changed it to Arabella

    My DD was nearly an Izabela, but DH wasn't too keen, so we chose a different name. I think Isabella (or any other spelling of it) is a beautiful name and only a very small percentage of the population will associate it with Twilight. Whatever name you pick, someone will always think you chose it for a reason that you didn't. (e.g. my DD is Diana and so many people think she is named after the Princess - she isn't). So if you love it, go for it. Otherwise, you could try a variation on the meaning. Isabel is the Spanish version of Elizabeth, so you could try one of its variations, e.g. Lisa.

    Good luck.

    I reckon go with what you love. Isabella, although popular, is a lovely name. And you're the one who's going to have to say it approximately a million times in your life. I also LOVE Lucia. Good luck deciding!

    Isabella is actually the Spanish version of "Elizabeth"...the name of one of the most powerful and innovative women of her time, Queen Isabella of Spain...a pretty awesome woman to be named after in my book

    I know a lot of Isabella's now though in my mothers group and our surname has "bell" in it, so no good for me to use lol

    Good luck - and I bet you will know her name the second you look into her gorgeous eyes

    I love both. Personally if you love the name Isabella name your DD that. Popularity of names changes so much. I wonder what the meaning of Lucia is? BTW do you have an Italian background?
