Over on the Name Facts board, someone posted asking about Isabinda, a name which has been in his family for generations. It evidently was created by the playwright
Susanna Centlivre for a character in a play back in 1709, probably by blending
Isabella with the -inda ending, which was very popular at that time with poets and playwrights in England.
Do you think Isabinda would be a good alternative today for someone who liked
Isabella but is put off by that name's present huge popularity? Or is -inda just too unfashionable an ending for Isabinda to work at the present time?
