This name has been growing on me as a mn for Isobel (which DH and I both love).

Barring your feelings about Isobel, wdyt of Carine? My favorite combo would have been Isobel Catherine, but SIL already has a Katharine.

Thanks!

Is it Kar-reen? Because then I like it. But if you're pronouncing it like Karen, I like that spelling better. Still, I like it. I think it goes well with Isobel, actually.

Reminds me of the verb.

You know, careen? Like, "Watch it! Don't careen around the corner!" That's probably one reason I hate it so much when people misprn *my* name as Carine...*shudders* I much prefer Corrine / Korrine (prn cor-IN) probably b/c that's what I grew up with. And Catherine has 3 syllables and flows better with Isobel. In this case, I'd make the combo Isobella Carine or Isobel Carina to adjust the flow. But that's just me. There's really nothing wrong with the combo Isobel Carine (although tbh, I like the look of Isobel Corine better).

Love it! I have been a fan of Carine, Katrine, Carina since like, forever. *girly giggle* I love the whole family of names! The combo Isobel Carine is beautiful. Classic and timeless, but unusual. Definitely not another Isobel Marie.

I think it's very lovely, though I do prefer Carina and Carmina. Isobel Carine sounds very nice. :)

Is Carine pronounced as Kah-REEN? In that case, I think Isobel Carine flows very well. Isobel Corinne would be great too.

This is the name of my cousin's wife. I like it but I find a lot of people pronounce it "Karen" instead of "Careen".

I like the flow of Isobel Catherine better than Isobel Carine.
