Which spelling?

[SquareSweetsThatLookRound]

We are going to use Isabelle as a middle name but not married to any particular spelling yet. Which one do people like the most? Does it also depend on the first name?
Isobel
Isabelle
Isabel
Isabell

Thank you everyone!

We have an Isobel
and very much an Izz- Oh-bell not Izz-uh-bell
so there can be some subtle difference in pronunciation

I like Isobel

I prefer Isobel but really use the one you and your DH like best.

Isobel No1 as the Scottish/British way
Isabel if you have native Spanish speakers in the family
Isabelle if you have native French speakers in the family
Isabell if you have people who can't spell in the family

Historically Isabel has been the most popular version in England (Isobel in Scotland).

Isabelle is the French version which has become very popular in the last 15 years or so all over the UK. I find the extra 'le' superfluous unless you are pronouncing it the French way, in which case the letters have a purpose.

Isabel is my favourite.

Isobel

Isobel or Isabel.

I’ve never seen Isabell without an e or a added on the end.

Mines spelt Isobel, it’s one thing my Mum got right.

Iseabail is the Gaelic version, or you could go with the easier to pronounce Scottish option Ishbel (think this is my favourite).

Isabel is the standard traditional spelling, Isobel in Scotland.

Isabelle always looks ridiculous and somewhat uneducated to me, unless you are French. It’s also not pronounced the same way.

Don’t even go there with Isabell.

My granddaughter is a Isobel, called after her great grandma who was born in Scotland.
I may be biased but I definitely thing it’s the best spelling. Traditional and simple!

Isabelle

i prefer it & you used it in your text.

to ME Isobel looks and sounds like a chemical isabel looks incomplete & Isabell
us just 'Is A bell'.

Isabel

Isabel/le.

Isobel is awful - I hate the 'sob' in the middle.

Isabel is my preferred spelling.

It depends if you want to emphasise the pronunciation with an 'a' or an 'o'. Isa or Iso...the rest of the letters are personal preference. My way would be Isabelle or Isobel.

Exactly this

No, Isabelle is pronounced differently- with the stress on the “belle”.

Isobel or Isabel.

Isabelle is fussy.

Isabell is spelt wrong.

Isabelle then Isobel

Isobel

Isabelle definitely!

Last one weird and never come across. Love the first one as seems more historical. Both middle ones okay.

Why do you think the first one is more historical?

I would say Isobel then Isabel.
