Isobel/Isabel/Isabelle

[MêmePasPeur]

Half French, to be born in UK

I fancy Isobel, known as Iso (Eezo) in French but French family pushing for Isabelle.

Thoughts?

I like Isobel best, personally.

I prefer Isobel, but don't mind either spelling.

Isobel. Nearly named my DD the same!

Isobel

Isobel

Isobel

Isabelle is the nicest

Isabel or Isobel are both nice, I would probably go Isobel

I prefer Isobel because it's shorter, and it is exactly how it sounds.

Isabelle and similar become more difficult to remember the spelling and I just don't think look as good. But let's face it, it probably doesn't really matter that much ☺️

It's a bit like calling a child Mia, or Jade, or Chloe. There will be at least three of them in her class, whatever the spelling.

Same,my favourite spelling is Isobel.
Isabelle a bit to frilly a spelling it won't matter much though.

My name Isobel, married to myself...I named my daughter this spelling. There are lots of Isabelles but few/no Isobels.

I prefer Isabelle personally!

You could compromise with Isobelle!

It’s a bit random to use Isobel if you’re French

I prefer the simple Isabel personally - so either that or Isabelle

She is not going to thank you for that.

Personally, I prefer Isabelle. However, if you like Isobel then that's how you should spell it. It's your baby and your decision. Your family don't get a say in your child's name or how it's spelled.

Just wondering if these are pronounced differently

IsObel or IsAbel

Isobel - to me, this spelling is classic.

If you’re French, then Isabelle.

If you prefer Isobel then use that.

Isabelle but then one of DD's has that name so I may be biased!

Oh and word to the wise.....doesnt matter which one you choose, most people will assume its one of the two you DIDNT choose when writing cards emails etc!

I like Isabelle the best, it looks much prettier imo however I do think you should go with your preferred spelling regardless of what family think!

Gorgeous name. Personally I much prefer the simpler look of Isabel or Isobel too but honestly? Unless she’s going to be living in Scotland ( then maybe Isobel is fine), as she is half French I’d personally stick with the Isabelle spelling -as it’s the most popular spelling in England as well as in France. I think it would make life easier for her.
