No, she used Isabella as the name for the female lead, because, while writing, she had come to feel for her as if she were her own daughter, and Isabella had been a name she was saving for when she had a daughter. Edward is supposed to have been born at the beginning of the 20th century, so she intentionally chose a name that "was once considered romantic, but had fallen out of popularity". Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre and Mr. Ferrars from Sense and Sensibility inspired her to name the vampire Edward. Oh, okay. Thanks! 'Cause I was just browsing baby names on the web and I found this story about Isabella and Edward as queen and king of England or something, and I thought it was kind of an odd coincidence. Thanks again!
