How Isabella sounds
The many beats of Isabella give it a musical, almost song-like cadence. With a vowel at the end, Isabella has an open, friendly finish. Say Isabella out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. Few names are as widely used in recent U.S. birth records as Isabella, so spelling and pronunciation are never a question. U.S. birth records list Isabella overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Isabella is an earth name, since that sound is made with an open throat and a soft breath. Isabella is an earth name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack earth. Because earth feeds metal in the cycle of generation, Isabella can also help a chart that is short on metal, though less directly. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Isabella would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Isabella reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. For fire and air signs, the water sound of Isabella pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
