Isabel/ isobel

[Mumzywumzy2]

I know this is probably a safe choice but what doe you think? My husband liked this first time round but I felt it was to popularl, since going to baby groups with my Little one I haven’t really come across any.
Although I prefer the Isabel spelling I remember someone once saying they can’t get out of there head is a bell !! So hence Isobel consideration

I'd have had Isobel but it wouldn't have suited ds
Lovely name

Would definately go for Isabel rather than Isobel, not quite sure why though.

I prefer Isabel. Lovely name.

I'm a Brownie leader. We currently have an Isabel and an Isobelle. Until recently we also had an Isabelle and an Isabella!

I prefer this Isobel spelling, Isabelle is the French version. Isabel just seems like someone couldn’t decide between the two.

I prefer Isobel. I've an 18 month DD and have only come across one at all the baby groups/classes (think she might be Isabel rather than Isobel).

Isabel is the Spanish version & Isobel is Scottish.

Both spellings are nice but I have a slight preference for Isobel.

I know more Isabels than Isobels - it’s definitely a fine and legitimate spelling in its own right. It is the Spanish spelling for a start.

I would like to call my daughter Isabel, but my husband is French and we live in France, so everyone would spell it Isabelle which is a bit too frilly for my tastes.

I really like it and much prefer the Isabel spelling.

Great name, prefer Isobel as a spelling.

We've got a 3 month old Isobel

I have a tween Isobel - it was definitely popular then for a few years but not quite a popular now.

Isobel is a pp has said is the Scottish / English spelling. Isabel is the Spanish (earlier) version i believe which subsequently became the French spelling too - then Isabelle etc and all the other variants came along.

Isobel, lovely !

Lovely name. I prefer the Isabel spelling :-)

Beautiful name.

I prefer the Isabel spelling.

I also love the name Christabel.

I have an Isabel 😊

I have an isabel. I've always loved it xxx

It's incredibly popular in schools ime (Isobel, Isabel, Isabelle...much of a muchless). Nice enough name but definitely a safe choice that blends into the crowd.

I love Isobel and uses it as one of my DD'S middle names. I didn't use it as a first name however due to popularity. It was important to me that my DD wouldn't be one of 3 in her class. Saying that I have only met to Isabel's under 3

I like them both, but would probably go for Isabel. I think maybe this is the original spelling as it is the Spanish way, and I think the name originated there. Isabelle I find a bit too fussy (unless you're French). But I guess it doesn't really matter, as they are all pronounced the same!

Lovely name! And I don't think it's super-popular right now.

Could also consider:
Imogen
Isidora
Isolda

It’s a lovely name in all spellings (I’ve come across an Izabel before as well as the more common ones).

I prefer Isobel but it’s just a personal preference with no justification

I like it a lot and I prefer the Isabel spelling. When I see Isobel written down, I sort of feel it ought to be pronounced like isobar!

I have an Isobel, we don’t know any others apart from much older women (have met a couple of Isabellas though). Obviously I love it and as we’re scottish went for Isobel rather than Isabel
