Help[Opinions] Re: Isobel
in reply to a message by zebra_cakes
I'm really not a fan of Isobel/Isabel/Isabelle. No real good reason, I just don't like the sound. The spelling of Isobel seems like it could lead to a somewhat complicated life of never having people spell her name correctly.
I do think the nn Izzy is probably inevitable. At least when she's young. I'm sure people wouldn't call her that as an adult, unless it gets established as an "official" nn when she's a kid. Belle doesn't work as a nn, imo. It would seem forced to me - is her name Isobel or is it Belle? That's just how I feel, anyway. The only other nn I can think of is Iz.
Personally, it would bother me to have one child with the mn Charlotte and the other with the mn Charles. They're way too similar. It kind of looks like you were going for a theme.
Isobel Linnea and Isobel Jessamine are nice combos, I prefer them to Isobel Charlotte. The flow of Isobel Jessamine is a bit rocky, so I prefer Isobel Linnea.
What about Isobel Georgia? Georgia is Greek and fits nicely with Isobel, in my opinion.
