Isabelle like in French

LilacSloth · 07/09/2020 20:47

Isobel.

twirlywooly · 07/09/2020 20:34

I love Isobel - is much more standard spelling up in Scotland. I think it's much prettier

NameChange84 · 07/09/2020 20:20

Isabel.

I have a really strong dislike for isObel and Isabelle looks a bit ott.

finallychangedmyusername · 07/09/2020 20:05

Isobel for me, or Isabel if not.

@Pippilangstrumpfi

They're different names that I would pronounce differently: Isabel - IS abel Isabelle - isa BELLE Isobel - IS obel
This. And I think Isabelle sounds best.

Isobel

We went for Isobel, it seems more fitting for a grown up woman than it ending with Belle

Aaliyahhh · 07/09/2020 19:16

Isabel

Emelene · 07/09/2020 19:14

I like Isabel. I do think she would have to explain how to spell Isabel/Isobel/Isabelle variants constantly though...

ApolloandDaphne · 07/09/2020 19:12

Isabel as that is my middle name. Both my grans were called Isabella.

itsjakeandamy · 07/09/2020 19:07

Isabel.

Oneandabean · 07/09/2020 18:30

They’re said differently, but Isabelle is the only one that looks right to me. Also biased as it’s my DD name. Isabel looks unfinished and I do t like the sound of Isobel.

Viletta · 07/09/2020 18:09

Isabelle, the rest is incorrect spelling imo

@starsandglitter yes belle is a pretty NN. 😍

Isabelle is so much prettier and ‘right looking’ to my eyes, surprised it’s the least popular. Suppose it doesn’t matter too much as think they will all be pronounced the same, perhaps if you’d like belle as a nn?

My rag doll is called Isobel and it's definitely Isobel Grin
