    Oh thanks so much girls! I was so worried about it being too popular that I was trying to turn myself off it. So stupid, I know!!

    Right, Isobel (little Izzy!) is back on top of the list

    After all that, what's the bet we have a boy. LOL!

    I know 3 in real life - one is in her 40's, one is 6 and the other is 2. None of them are in WA either.

    Isobal is not as common as Isabella, and I'd say both are really declining in popularity - 5 years ago in kindies we were seeing 3 or 4 in a group, but right now there's hardly any (in that time I've also moved from Vic to Qld) which is what makes me think it's much more common among kids already at school.
    Go for it, it is such a lovely name.

    yeah its common, but who cares! its a very pretty name and just because its common doesnt mean u cant have the name u want for your child.

    I don't know any...so far DS hasn't been to kindy/school with any Isobels and neither has DD. It is actually one of our favourite names for our bub too - I know it is high up the popularity scale, but TBH how 'common' a name is has never bothered me - if I like it, I like it and I don't really care how popular it is.
