How would you spell Isobel?

[mrsjuan]

I HATE 'creative' spellings but there seem to be so many alternatives to Isobel - Isabel, Isabelle etc. Which one do you think is the best?

I would spell it Isabelle

But my childen have 'alternative' spellings of their names, which is a pita!

those are all proper versions of the same name though aren't they? like madeline or madeleine

I like Isobel

As you have done: Isobel.

Isabel makes me think.. 'Is a bell?....'

Isabelle is too frilly

Isobel : perfect!

I think Isobel is perfect too

Isobel.

The varaitions of Isabel make me think Spanish.

Isobel. Lovely name as long as you fine with the fact it is very popular. There are lots of Isobels (spelt in varous ways!) around here.

I prefer it with an A, because I focus in on the fact it has 'sob' in it otherwise. It's an unhappy looking name spelled that way.

I like Isobel best, I think it's the Irish versiuon?

An Irish friend has a daughter called Isobel and shortens it to Iso (Izzo), which is nice and can't be done with the A spelling.

Isobel very pretty name.

isabelle gets my vote

Isobel

Isabelle - beautiful

Isobel - not as pretty

Isabelle

Isobel

I like Isabelle because of the 'belle', beautiful bit.

I like Isabelle.
Prefer Isabella tho, I like frilly

Isabelle

I thought the correct spelling of it, is as you have in the title - Isobel.

Isobel or Isabella,

I would spell it Isobel (Isabella is a completely different name to me). Isabelle looks made up.

I prefer Isabel.

Isabel works better in other languages (German, French, Spanish) whereas Isobel wouldn't.

My second choice would be Isabelle.

Third choice Isabella.

Isabel or Isabelle gets my vote,

Isabel good if your dd is likely to be elsewhere in southern Europe, also gives the option of the spanish shortening Isa which I like.
Isobel also good and perhaps more common in UK.
Ishbel is a pretty Scottish alternative.
