Isabel or Isabella just curious

[MyUmberSheep]

Just curious for a little bit of fun! Me and partner like the names Isabel &, Isabella for a girl. What's everyones thought? Like I said just a bit of fun, it won't influence our decision I'm just curious! 😊 Also we don't know the sex but we are struggling for boy names

Isabella definitely

I prefer Isobel

Definitely Isabel or Isobel.
The frillier names are a bit dated these days.

Definitely Isabella - can be several lovely nn

Isabel will be Izzy
Isabella will be Bella

You decide.

Isabel

They are all nice.

Isobel

Both absolutely lovely.
If pushed I’d say Isobel and spelt that way.

I have an Isabella - I think it’s a lovely name.

I've seen Isobel or Isabelle but not Isabel so that looks odd to me, but I'd get used to it quickly once I knew one (based on the number of times I've privately judged a name but ended up loving it once I knew the child!)
I think I prefer it to Isabella but not so much I could say I have a strong opinion.

Isabella is lovely.

Isabel reminds me of old ladies 🫣

Either way they will get called the opposite by mistake constantly 😅

Speaking from experience!

Isabella.

I know 2 Bella’s that are Isobel’s, so it absolutely doesn’t need to be Izzy. And Izzy is obviously a potential nick name for both too

Isabella I think.
In DCs primary school years (they are now 18 and 16) the number of Isabelles and Isabellas was stunning, if faced with a random girl there seemed to be a 50 per cent chance she was either called Isabella/Isabelle or Amelia, or had a sister with one of those names (I used to go in and help with reading). Maybe it has calmed down a bit now!

Where do you live?

if SE, go for Isabella. The accent just cant cope with words ending in L

We had an Isabel 2 weeks ago.

Sounds like a very weird school

Isobel. Isabella is very pretty but has become overused. No reason why Isobel can't be shortened to Belle or Bella. Actually I think Belle makes a nice change from Bella.

ds26 was going to be Isabella if he was a girl.

Isabelle.

100% Isobel spelling though.

Isobel/ Isabella, Olivia and Amelia. Default girls names. About two thirds of each of my daughter (17) and niece (6) classes are called one of these three names. Nice names but the overwhelming popularity would make me steer clear of using one of them.
