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.

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

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

Sophronia · 19/02/2016 20:11

I pronounce them the same. I prefer Isobel.

AmberNectarine · 19/02/2016 20:08

My DD is Isabelle so that is my preference!

DramaAlpaca · 19/02/2016 20:08

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

NoCapes · 19/02/2016 20:08

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

They sound the same.
Isobel is my favourite

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!

LettuceLaughton · 19/02/2016 19:58

Very slight difference - IsAbel vs IsObel.

StitchesInTime · 19/02/2016 19:57

I'd pronounce them the same.

I prefer the Isabel spelling.

Pretty much, yeah. Isabel is my favourite spelling.
