Love the name Isabel. Think its classy even if it is so popular.

Probably going to stir a few pots here what do people think of the nickname Issie, pronounced Iss-ee (iss rhyming with hiss or kiss).

I know an Issy and an Issi, both pronounced Izzy.

ive never come across anyone pronouncing it as you’re suggesting, but it is quite nice. Though they’re such similar sounds I doubt anyone will notice the difference (sorry!)

People often (oddly, I think) misspell Izzy as Issy/Issie so to most people it's the same name.

It’ll end up as Izzy.

I think it will be Izzy no matter what you do.
