Which spelling?

So I think we’ve decided on naming our little girl Isabelle but we’re unsure on the spelling for it… we’re either thinking the French way Isabelle or Scottish way Isobel.

These are the middle names were thinking of… which do you prefer?

Isobel Primrose
(MIL middle name is isabelle and first name rose so not sure if this is OTT)

Isabelle Lula
(Lula as an honoury middle name for Louise, my mum)

thanks!

Like sound of Isobel Primrose best, or how about Isobel Louisa?

Isobel is nice, or Isabel. Isabelle is a bit fussy and unnecessary if you're not French. IMO.

Not very keen on Primrose, it's a bit prissy and twee imo. Any other Rose name would be lovely with Isobel eg Isobel Rose, Isobel Rosa, Isobel Roisin, Isobel Rosalind.

Louise is nicer than Lula, what's wrong with Louise? Especially as a middle.
