Isobel - is it really too common?

I really think it more comes down to if you want to use it, then use it. It is your choice, regardless of how many you know.
I myself know a fair few little girls atm with that name, & it seems many have chosen for the like of the nickname "izzy"....which is just adorable..........so if you want it, then you have it!

That is exactly why we chose it - we love Izzy as a nickname. Nicknames are important to both of us so most of our fave names have come about from the nicknames

I am starting to think that too - if we like it so much then we should just use it.

Thanks for your thoughts girls!

I have a cousin Isabelle, she is 8 this year & the only one I know.

I say if you & your Dh both love it then go for it... it's hard enough to come up with a name you both love as it is! well for us anyway...
