Hey guys!
Week 9: 'I' names!
Enjoy!

GIRLS:
Name: Isabella
Rank: 3

Name: Isabelle
Rank: 126
My opinion: I love this spelling of Isabelle as a first name. I think it is adorable.

Name: Isabel
Rank: 134

My opinion: This spelling looks much harsher than Isabella, even if Izabella is how it is pronounced.

Name: Ivy
Rank: 187
My opinion: The only name not related to Isabella on this list, and I don't like it. It reminds me of poison ivy.

BOYS
Name: Isaac
Rank: 30

Name: Ian
Rank: 78
