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

ladygindiva · 04/06/2023 18:39

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

TwigTheWonderKid · 04/06/2023 20:00

Anne

Vexxa · 04/06/2023 20:01

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.

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.

ourflagmeansdeath · 05/06/2023 17:40

Sorry - Isobel Charlotte!
