I like Isabel and Isabelle, but Isabelle is definitely my fave. Delilah is nms, I don't like the negative connotations. Jasmine and Lola are nice and I love Alice. All the male names are nice, I like them all.

I prefer Isabel to Isabelle, but I had a name dream involving Isabella the other night, so right now that trumps both the others.

I prefer Isobel. I like very feminine names, but Isabelle is a bit too cutesy looking even for me.I do not really care for Delilah, Jasmine or Alice, but the rest are nice.

I like them all! I absolutely love Delilah but she was a bad lady!
My grandmother's name was Isabella (Belle for short) - somewhere along the line during her adulthood it got altered to Isobel, which I don't think is half as pretty.

I like Isobel best.I love Alice and George. James and Oliver are great, too. I'm really tired of Daniel. I would personally never, ever use Delilah because of the Biblical character.

I really like Delilah and Alice. I've posted about both of them at earlier times. I prefer Isabelle or Isabel as far as spellings of it. I'd be concerned about using Jasmine because even though its pretty, its sometimes seen as lower-class. Lola makes me think of couple of different pop songs, neither of which have very positive associations, if that matters to you. Of course, its also the name of my cousin's new pet bird, so that may be why I have a hard time picturing it on a person:)-Danielle

Honestly, my favorite variant of Isabel is Ysabel, the Spanish version. But out of what you listed, I think Isabel is the best.
Delilah - Reminds me of "Hey There Delilah". It's very... frilly.
Isabelle/ Isobel - Too popular. I liked it before it got overly popular, but now it's kind of like Ashley in the 90's.
Jasmine - Beautiful! Love this :]
Lola - I really don't like it. NMS.
Alice - Love it.James - Love it!
George - Don't like it.
Daniel - My top favorite boy's name.
Leo - It's my sign. Other than that, I really don't like it.
Oliver - Reminds me of kittens and orphan boys. Other than that, nice name.

Ysabel's not Spanish.It's just a silly variant spelling. Isabel's Spanish. Isabela's Spanish. Ysabel is not.

Yes, it very much is. :]It's listed as one of the most popular names used nearly five decades ago in Spain. It originated in Spain, and was very popular in usage in Spain, moreso than Isabel and the rest of it's variants.

Begging your pardon?Here's just one example of its use within a Spanish-speaking community--and not a recent use, either. I'd be happy to find you more references if you require them.http://www.sandiegohistory.org/collections/missions/ysabel.htmArray
