[Opinions] Re: Isabelle
in reply to a message by Bellatrix
Isobel is a completely different name to me, as I pronounce it EE-so-bel. I like it a lot pronounced that way.
Isabell is the German spelling and very common here, but I dislike it. It looks very unbalanced to me.
I like Isabel and Isabelle equally. They both look very nice. I'm not sure which one I'd choose, I think today it would be Isabelle.
I know heaps of Isabels which is why I'm not very fond of the name. I went to school with an impolite, silly and stupid girl named Isabel and later with a stuck up girl named Isabell. There was a bitchy Isabel in my dance class.
Now at my university I have classes with three girls named Isabell and Isabel. They are nice. Still I'm not a fan of the name. If I had to use it I'd go with Isabelle (because I don't know anyone with the spelling and it reminds me of a character in my books for French lesson plus it looks nice) and I'd call her Belle (most girls named Isabel/l I know go by Isa or Isi).
