An English name is what, exactly? Surely it's a name used by English-speaking people when they are speaking English. What else could it be - there aren't enough Anglo-Saxon names to go around, simply because they have dropped out of use. People have preferred other versions or other names with other etymologies. English people, in general, not sure about the US, know about how French words have a different rhythm and how the French R has a different sound, and if they are speaking French they will try to respect this. But a name like Renee, or indeed Isabel rather than or as well as Isabelle, when used by English people in an Anglophone environment, will look (no accent) and sound (English R, not French; one syllable emphasised) appropriately English. If you want evidence for what you believe, you'll have to find it for yourself. The evidence which actually exists, in English birth-name lists for instance, points the other way. I think you are creating problems for yourself where none exist.
