HelpI like almost all of them
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
But only if the more exotic ones are used appropriately by a family of the stated heritage, i.e. Izabella on a Polish or Hungarian girl, Izabela on a Polish or Czech girl, Iseabail on Scottish girl, or Isibéal on an Irish girl.
For myself, however, being of mostly English heritage, I like Isabel and Isabella best. Isabelle, Isobel, and Ysabel are also nice, but some days I like them and some days I don't; Ysabel would be especially nice on a medieval or Renaissance character imo. Isabela's perfectly legit, but I prefer Isabella simply because I'm most familiar with that form.
The ones I don't like are Isbel, Isebella, and Isabell. They seem truly misspelled to me, as opposed to legit-but-odd-looking-to-English-eyes international forms, like the ones I listed above.
