Help[Opinions] Isobel, spelled Isabelle or Isabel (m)
in reply to a message by Mareasi
Isabella is too frilly for me, and Isobel reminds me of isotope, isosceles, and isolation, and I hate that it has the word "sob" spelled within. There's always this half-second where I have to remind myself that it sounds like Isabel.

I second Isabelle, but...
Isabel doesn't grab me, unfortunately. It's nicer than Isobel but not as nice as Isabelle.
I'm in two minds about Isobel, and Isabella is one of these few top-hundred names I've met or heard of or heard of in supermarkets... and there's tons. It's frilly and blah, and kind of detestable for that.
Isabelle is lovely. Seriously. But if we're doing a scale of lovely to meh, for me it's Isabelle, Isabel, Isobel and Isabella is off the scale on the meh end of things.
Oooh, wait, Isibeal and Sibeal? Both are kind of amazing and serpentine and cool! So, considering everything on BtN, my scale is Isabelle / Isibeal, Sibeal, Isabel, Isobel / Zabel, Ishbel, (begin the meh) Isabela... and then, at the far end of meh, Isabella.
