Re: Isabelle or Isabel??
in reply to a message by )(
Isabelle is fine in French. In English, where it never gets the French pronunciation, it is tastelessly ornate. I prefer Isobel to Isabel, but either would be much better than Isabelle. None of them is very popular where I live, so tedium isn't an issue.
