Expecting DD2 and think we've settled on Isobel for her first name (with that spelling) 😊

Could you please say which of these middle name combinations you like best?

Isobel Anne
Isobel Barbara
Isobel Charlotte
Isobel Rebecca
Isobel Rosalind

Our surname is 2 syllables if that helps. Thank you!

Isobel Charlotte

Second that, or Rebecca

Mysteriousgirl2 · 04/06/2023 18:34

As long as her surname isn’t Ringing, you’ll be fine.

JamSandle · 04/06/2023 18:36

Isobel Rebecca

Charlotte or Rosalind
I have an Isabel ; gorgeous name whatever you put in the middle 💕

Jeannie88 · 04/06/2023 18:56

Isobel Rose?

FawnDrench · 04/06/2023 19:23

Rebecca

HyggeTyggeDotCom · 04/06/2023 19:23

I was genuinely going to suggest Isobel Ann!

Jojoanna · 04/06/2023 19:29

Isobel Barbara ,,

caringcarer · 04/06/2023 19:29

Isobel Louise

Just from reading thread title i thought Isobel Charlotte 💛

Pemba · 04/06/2023 19:36

My choice would be Isobel Anne, simple classic and elegant. It flows well. Isobel Jane, Isobel Mary, Isobel Katherine would work well in the same way.

Shorter is better I feel but the R names Rosalind and Rebecca flow quite well and are good names.

I don't think Barbara really works because too many Bs too close together, as there's also one in the middle of Isobel.

Izzadoraduncancan · 04/06/2023 19:36

We have an Isobel Marie and a 2 syllable surname. It sounds lovely and the name really suits her Grin

Isobel Rebecca

Rebecca is a lovely classical name and unexpected. I would use it as a first name myself if there wasnt already a Rebecca in the family.

Love Isobel BTW its my dds middle name

Anne

Thank you very much for the helpful replies! I'm pleased that some people like Rebecca, this is a special family name but I wasn't sure if it flowed so good to hear others like it. Anne and Charlotte are my two other favourite options.

Louise is actually DD1's middle name!

My DD2 is Sophie Isobel x

Crikeyalmighty · 04/06/2023 20:21

If you like the R. Ruth flows well

midsomermurderess · 04/06/2023 20:26

Anne. Much underused, in my opinion, and rubs on well from Isobel, if the names are said together.

Mumofgirls2017 · 05/06/2023 12:50

Charlotte or rosalind

hotsummerlovin · 05/06/2023 12:51

Isobel necessaryonabike

Sorry, couldn't resist! 🤦🏻‍♀️😛

blitzen · 05/06/2023 12:53

I'd go Ann without an E

ourflagmeansdeath · 05/06/2023 17:40

Isobel Anne - Lovely
Isobel Barbara - Not keen at all
Isobel Charlotte - Very pretty
Isobel Rebecca - Not keen on this sorry
Isobel Rosalind - This is lovely

My favourite would be Isabelle Charlotte followed by Isabelle Anne.

Sorry - Isobel Charlotte!
