Just that! Which spelling do you prefer? It’s for a middle name so won’t be used in class etc.
Thanks and merry Christmas all!

My niece is Isabel and no-one ever spells it correctly. Always Isobel or Isabelle. Matters less for a middle name but I would use one of the other 2 for that reason

toastofthetown · 22/12/2021 18:49

Isobel. But Isabelle is the most common spelling in England and Wales.

Can you share the first name so we can see which version flows better with it?

siennna · 22/12/2021 18:49

I like Isabel the best, but think Isabelle would be assumed as the most standard spelling in the UK. Don't like Isobel much

alienbaby · 22/12/2021 18:50

Isobel looks like medication

Isabelle looks frilly

I vote Isabel!

Aren’t they all pronounced the same?

Isabel. Only because it's my daughters middle name! She's naked for my grandma though who spelt it Isobel. I just prefer the look of Isabel. No idea why!

I didn't spell it the French was as we're not French (seems a good reason!) and it felt like too many letters.

*named ffs! Not naked!
