After many many lists and deliberations we think we are down to three names but I find I swing between them all and just can’t settle in one.

Elizabeth ( known as Libby)
Rachel
Isobel

What do you think? Any opinions gratefully received .

Isobel is so dull - there are a million squillion Isabelles/isabellas and Belles and bellas. Even if the popularity is declining slightly it's still very prominent. At least your spelling is better but she will be one of a crowd.

Elizabeth is nice but can't bear Libby, it sounds so wet.

Rachel is a lovely and underused name now. I'd definitely pick rachel.

I have an Isabel so I'm biased. I think (so I'm told, so prepared to be told I'm wrong) that isobel is a more Scottish spelling.
I love Libby, the Kennedy family in neighbours were my favourite.
You don't get many Rachels these days, bit unsure on this one, the ones I know are my age (30's) or a bit older.
Were you thinking of a middle name?
