Stuck on which spelling to go for!

Isabelle - Belle for short!

Isabelle seems to be the most popular version these days.

Definitely Isabel, my daughters name, never even considered spelling it another way

Isolde. Too many Isobel/Isabelles.

I am due in February and going for Isabelle, it's a name I have loved since I was little (nn Izzie).

I've never cared about name popularity and considering 'unique' is all the rage now, there will probably be dozens of Islas, Auroras, Theos etc in her school year as opposed to the simplistic names.

Isabel or Isobel. Not Isabelle.

Isabel.

My Isabel is 10 and the only one in her year, she goes by Izzy but for some reason it really annoys me when people spell it Issey

Isobel

As debated on threads elsewhere, it's a different name with quite distinct pronunciation.
Is- o- bel
Is- a-bel

Isabelle has too many letters!

We used Isobel, as a nod to our Scottish forebears, and because I like non-frilly names

opinionatedfreak · 26/11/2019 19:13

Isobel, but i’m Scottish.

I hate Isabelle. It’s too frilly (unless you are French!)

PrincessHoneysuckle · 26/11/2019 19:15

Isobelle

MrsNoMopp · 26/11/2019 20:11

Isabelle is the happiest spelling.

Fifthtimelucky · 26/11/2019 23:24

I'm in the Isobel camp.

123Dancewithme · 27/11/2019 00:30

Isobel

Petrichor11 · 27/11/2019 13:44

I love Isobel, also like Isabel, but Isabelle is my least favourite as it’s a bit overly fussy
