Are Isabelle and Isobel pronounced the same?

[IsEatBedThyme]

And which of these two spellings do you prefer - Isabel or Isabelle.

[Cel982]

Pretty much, yeah. Isabel is my favourite spelling.

[StitchesInTime]

I'd pronounce them the same.

I prefer the Isabel spelling.

[LettuceLaughton]

Very slight difference - IsAbel vs IsObel.

[EmmaWoodlouse]

I don't hear any difference at all as the middle syllable is usually just a neutral "uh". I like Isabel best too. Isobel looks slightly like it should be pronounced like isobar!

[GiraffeHouse]

They sound the same.
Isobel is my favourite

[NoCapes]

They're the same name
Isobel is the best spelling (I may be biased as DD is Isobel )

[DramaAlpaca]

Yes they are pronounced the same. I prefer the spelling Isabel.

[AmberNectarine]

My DD is Isabelle so that is my preference!

[Sophronia]

I pronounce them the same. I prefer Isobel.

[StayGoldPonyBoy]

I say Isahbelle or Isohbell but the difference is hardly noticeable!

[SimonLeBonOnAndOn]

Isobel was my favourite girls name but never got to use it.

[NNalreadyinuse]

I thought Isobel was the Scottish spelling.
I think they are slightly different in pronunciation. Of the two spellings you asked about, I prefer Isabel.

[BellaDona]

Apparently they are all pronounced the same, but Isabel is the only correct spelling.
But most people in the UK tend to write Isabelle or Isobel.

[HerbieRidesAgain]

I like Isabel, and personally wouldn't shorten it but if I was going to or knew for sure she would get Belle then I'd go for Isabelle

[Elllicam]

I would say Is-ah-bel and Is-oh-bel.

[Scoose]

My one is Isabelle too so I prefer this

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I'd say them ever so slightly differently but for all intents and purposes they sound the same.

[KatieT12]

Very slightly different, IMO: IsAbelle/IsObel

I prefer the Isabelle spelling

[Trickytricky]

Isobel is the Scottish spelling. All pronounced the same Isabelle/Isobel/Isabel

[MargotLovedTom]

Isabel makes me want to go all Spanish and say "Eeess-a-bel" . I prefer Isobel.

[thebiscuitindustry]

I'd pronounce them the same.

I like the spelling Isabelle.

[CityFox]

Isobel is the Scottish spelling. Both are 'correct'.

[CityFox]

Meant to add they are pronounced the same.

[Sofiria]

I'd pronounce them slightly differently - Isabel(le) with a definite /a/ sound, and Isobel with more of a schwa (is-uh-bel).

[waxweasel]

I'd pronounce them all the same. I like them all but prefer Isobel, followed by Isabelle. Isabel looks a bit incomplete to me, maybe because the french version seems to be more common so I'm more used to seeing a -elle ending.
