Ysabel

I've asked around about this spelling variation, and it doesn't seem very liked by most people. If the pronunciation EE-sa-bel is main goal here, would you use it over Isabel? Ysabel is the original Spanish version of Isabel and has been used for centuries, so why do you think Ysabel isn't as well-received? (asking in regards to the use of it in the United States).

No! This is not like Emily vs Emilie. Isabel is nice by itself, and there is the Isabelle spelling.

I love it aesthetically, but not practically. It would cause so much confusion used instead if Isabel in the US.

Ysabel would do just fine in areas of the US that have a larger Spanish-speaking population. If Yvonne and Yvette do OK, Ysabel can too.

Yeah, but there isn't an alternate spelling of Yvonne or Yvette that's reasonably popular in the US, like Isabel/le. *That's* the issue.

Idk, it just kind of... Looks off. Like the Y seems out of place.

Probably because it looks like a "kre8ive" spelling, since they often interchange i's for y's.
