Isabel

[PriyankaMaria]

Hi guys, wdyt of this name? i prsnly prefer it my spanish way (EE-ZAH-BEL)

Beautiful name

Love it.

Lovely, but the most commonly used name around here (when you include variations such as Isabelle, Isabella, Isobel etc)

Prefer Isobel spelling. Classic name.

I love it, but I prefer the Isobel spelling (as per the O'Sullivan twins in the St Clare's books).

However it was very, very popular about 15-20 years ago, and I think it still remains fairly popular today, so I think it feels a bit overused, and a little bit dated/not "fresh".

OMG I just googled and apparently it was IsAbel not IsObel in St Clares. What an odd thing to misremember!

It'll get mispelled a lot. (Ask me how I know...) Great name though. 😋

I have an Isobel Scottish spelling

Lovely. I wanted Isobel for DD, Bel for short, but DH didn’t like it. Isabel is lovely too.

Lovely. I like Isobel

A very classic choice.

For those saying they prefer the Isobel spelling, OP has made their reasons for the Spanish spelling obvious.

It is my middle name and i love it. It's much nicer than my first name. Both my grans were called Isabella and i am named after them.

I've never heard it as Ee-z-Abel. It's Isobel. I have one. My dad always takes the piss and is a bell necessary on a bicycle...

I work with an Isabel and the amount of times her name his spelt wrong on emails winds me up, never mind her.

We have an Isabel, lovely name, sure often misspelt, as a tern she now prefers Izzy/Issy

There have been sooo many Isabellas, Isabels recently and they often end up as Izzy, which I personally don't like.

There's also Isabelle
