Message: "Isotta" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Isotta

This name has been growing on me recently, ever since I first really came across it reading about Isabella Rossellini (it's her twin sister's name). I don't know how usable it is, seems somewhat out of place with a lot of names I try to pair it with. All I have now is my incredible fallback Mary-combo, Mary Isotta.

So any thoughts/suggestions?

It's okay but not as great as Isolde, IMO.

I don't care for it. I'm not a huge fan of Is- names in general but this one is particularly unattractive as it reminds me of "sotted." As in, drunk. :-/ Not exactly the lovely picture I'm sure people are trying to conjure when creating a combo.

If I liked it, I'm sure I would like it with Mary. What doesn't work with Mary? :-)

Isotta reminds me of the word "besotted," which is kinda neat.

Isotta Frances
Isotta Harriet - a little 't'-heavy?
Isotta Belinda
Isotta Penelope
Isotta June
Isotta Mae

Ophelia Isotta
Tamsin Isotta
Zephyrine Isotta

And that's all I got...
