Just musing. Baby not due until next summer and may not be a girl - if it's a boy DH and I both like Luke William but girls names are contentious. The only one we can seem to agree on is Isobel/ Isabel but not the spelling.

For a middle name I like Joy as it's more unusual, and also the name of a teacher who I loved to bits and inspired me hugely. DH prefers Grace as it's more 'normal' but I quite like it too.

So:

Isobel Joy

Isabel Grace

Or neither?

Isobel Joy.
DD has Joy as a middle name, and lives up to it every day!

Isobel is my favourite. It's also not as popular as Isabel (or Isabelle), however, that could be problematic as people will probably spell her name as above.

Grace is very popular as a middle name. If you were to choose Isabel Grace, she'll be one of many.

However, if you're not bothered by popularity then it doesn't matter(!)
