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?

Isobel

I think Isabel is the prettiest

I know what you mean about the hardness of IsObel, but I like that spelling because of that! It's a soft sounding name with a grown up tough spelling!

izobelle,izobel,izabel,esabelle,isabel

Isobelle!

i think isobel.

although i think g-a-r-y works well.

Isobel is the Scottish way, I believe. Isabelle, French.

Isobel. It's how I would instinctively spell the name if I heard it.

I'm not keen on Isabelle, to me it looks like someone couldn't make their mind up between Isobel and Isabella.

Isobel is how I would automatically spell it.

I was told that it is the Spanish version of Elizabeth.

Lovely name.

I prefer Izzy to Isabel.

Reading this is making my head spin. Lovely name but glad I've never had to worry about how to spell it.

I like Isabelle as it looks prettier than the other versions!

I think you need to first decide what you would prefer it to be shortened to. I love Belle as a shortening so would opt for Isabelle.

i love Isabelle

I like Isabel, Isabella or Isabelle.

I don't like it with an 'o' - spellt that way it wouldn't work well in German, French and Spanish.

Ha, DH and I are having this same debate! He likes Isabelle and I like Isabel. I have Spanish and Italian heritage, and I quite like the idea of it being the European equivalent of Elizabeth.

Isobel is gorgeous, elegant and classic imho.

Isabelle is the only it looks right for me.

I would spell it Isabel.
