I read on a couple of threads here that the name Isabelle sounds to some people like a question e.g. "is a bell.."Now i can't get this out of my mind and it's one of a few favoured names on our short list but it has spiked it a bit for me.

So how would you rate Isabelle? What other names might I also like?

Isobel by far the nicest spelling imvho.

I have an Isabelle, likes Izzy. I still love it. She's not been referred to as 'is a bell necessary on a bike. Great choice of spellings - Isobel, Scottish; Isabel, Spanish, and the above -French. Or even Isabella.

Beautiful name. Please DON'T spell it Isobel!!!

I don't like Izzy which is why I can't use it but it's such a lovely, girly, pretty name, go for it!

It's very popular. But please spell it Isobel.

Is a belle necessary on a door
But I doubt all the Isabelles out there are getting a terrible time, or. There wouldn't be so many running about.

I love Isabelle, my DS's best friend is called Izzy short for Isobelle - love it! I also like Annabelle. My grandmother was called this and everyone called her Belle.

It's a classic name.

Ishbel?
Isolde?
Sophie, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Catherine, Florence?

I think Argh is a brilliant middle name!

janethegirl2 · 19/06/2016 19:44

Or izzy?

leopardspice · 19/06/2016 19:43

I love isabelle and can be shortened to belle. I'd rate it a 9!!
