Isabelle, Isabel or Isobel?

[FoxyLoxx]

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!

Isobel

I think Isabelle just as that's how I would presume it was spelt if someone asked me

Isabel

Simple and elegant

Isabel

I chose Isabelle as Isabel just looks too short although it is the English spelling of course.

She prefers to be called Izzy now though (she's 17).

Isabelle

We have a Rose Isobel followed by a foreign spelling of third name because of family . I do find the other versions more common and boring but that’s a matter of opinion . Still happy with it 9 y on …

Isabel. The belle spelling is too frilly for me, and you pronounce it 'is a bell' not 'is oh bell' so it makes more sense to me.

Isabel

Isobel - like Flambards. I'm old though.

Isabel is the traditional English spelling (and the Spanish too, of course - which is where the name originated). However Isabelle seems to have overtaken it in popularity in the UK in recent years. It's the French version. I find it a bit too frilly, with unnecessary letters though, like Annabelle and Juliette. Prefer Isabel, Annabel and Juliet.

I'd vote for Isabel because traditional, original version, less fussiness, although I really like Isobel too. People say Isobel is the Scottish spelling, but I find it a bit confusing as I thought the Scottish version of Isabel was Ishbel?
