Hi all, just after some opinions on these two names, I'm due twin girls soon and have narrowed our list down to Alice & Isobel, we already have an Emily. X

Nice names Smile

Ah lovely.Names!
We've decided on Isobel for our little girl due soon also!

I think great too but prefer Isabel (Isobel is the Scottish spelling) - good luck! StarStarStar

They sound perfect together.
I have a slight preference for Isabel over Isobel but I think they are both better than the -belle endings.

I have an Isobel - and Alice and Emily are on our shortlist for baby due in the spring!

I think they all go together lovely Smile

Lovely names. Lovely as twins. Perfect for Emily's sisters.

daisypond · 01/09/2020 21:12

Yes, they work well.

I'm an Isobel haha great choice! Both nice classic names, very pretty. I think Emily, Isobel and Alice flow nicely and sound good together without being too samey :)

Emi, Ali and Izzi 💖

Tillygetsit · 30/08/2020 22:40

Beautiful. Slightly prefer Alice.

izzybobsmum · 30/08/2020 22:25

I have an Isobel and love the spelling, and one of my best friends is an Alice. I think both names are classic and unfussy.

Missdrifter · 30/08/2020 22:19

Love the names! We have just had an Alice and both the other two names were on our shortlist too! The names sound gorgeous together! All timeless names in my opinion x

Firebird83 · 30/08/2020 22:17

Lovely. Definitely prefer the Isobel spelling!

Lovely

Beautyoftheirdreams · 30/08/2020 20:19

I have an Isobel so I'm biased but I love it and that way of spelling. It's less popular than the other spellings. I like Alice too but prefer Emily

BikeTyson · 30/08/2020 20:18

I like both, slightly prefer Alice. I like the Isobel spelling too.

WildCherryBlossom · 30/08/2020 20:17

Good choice for twins. Sound different, but pair very well, and roughly similar levels of popularity (in my neck of the woods at least)

Congratulations OP

I really like both names and I LOVE the Isobel spelling. So much nicer than Isabelle.

Oneandabean · 30/08/2020 19:17

I prefer Isabelle to Isobel, I don’t like the way it’s said and looks. Love Alice

KindKylie · 30/08/2020 17:33

Really lovely!

kittenpeak · 30/08/2020 17:25

Beautiful names. I think Isabel is prettier than Isobel though.

Starbuggy · 30/08/2020 17:15

Isobel with that spelling is one of my favourite names, and it’s goes beautifully with Alice and Emily without being matchy matchy. Just classic beautiful names

Dededa · 30/08/2020 17:12

Both lovely.

Alice is an absolute favourite of mine, but couldn’t use it.

moonriver32 · 30/08/2020 16:38

Both lovely, and that's my favourite spelling of Isobel which I always think isn't used enough!

Whenwillow · 30/08/2020 16:23

Lovely!
