Do you like the name Isobel?

I'm thinking of using my G.Grandma's name Isobel. What do you think?

I am thinking maybe Isobel Grace

**Taurean** · February 9th, 2009, 04:54 PM

At the moment it's our number one pick for a girl!

**Salsa** · February 9th, 2009, 04:55 PM

Yes.
That is Dh fav spelling of it too

**AliBaby** · February 9th, 2009, 04:56 PM

Its a beautiful name and I like the spelling. Isabelle has become very popular at tme moment so that is a nice take on it. Grace is lovely as a middle name as well.

**CathyS** · February 9th, 2009, 04:57 PM

Yeah I like it. Different to Isabel or Isabella (which I think there is a lot of Isabellas around, more so than Isabel/Isabol..am I right?)

**Tegam** · February 9th, 2009, 04:58 PM

totally totally totally totally love the names! I can just see the most beautiful little girl!

**CathyS** · February 9th, 2009, 05:02 PM

Hey Milly hehe...I still love the name Milla. I'm tossing up names at the moment..but bear in mind i changed baby names at 8mths with my son Ronan (Matthew) and Laura (Tahlia) hehe. Names are sooo hard!!

I love Isobel - one of my best friends' DD is Isobel. Im not a fan of Grace as a middle name, but only cos its so common!!

**CathyS** · February 9th, 2009, 06:09 PM

I'm open to middle name suggestions as well.

**Lulu** · February 9th, 2009, 07:15 PM

I have an Isabelle, I would have spelt it that way but I went with the spanish version as my last name is spanish...and also Queen Isabelle of Spain..it all pointed one way!

**CathyS** · February 9th, 2009, 09:07 PM

Yeah..I think Isobel is the scottish version/

Elizabeth is nice too (means the same as Isabel). Though I think it sounds a bit too 'expensive' lol.

Though with a surname like Barbieri....I think Isobel is nicer.

I don't know..I'm so confused!! Baby names are sooooo hard!

**Neenee Jellybeanie** · February 9th, 2009, 09:56 PM

I love it, it's my middle name! Except mine is spelt with 'Isabel'

Isobel is my Mum's name. I have always preferred this spelling of the name.

Sadly, my Mum has never liked her name. I was hoping that she would start to like it now that it has become popular (again). She told me that when she was a child, adults always used to say to her 'Is a bell necessary on a bike?' That was considered humour in the 40's and 50's! So she became very tired of this and, unfortunately, it affected her opinion of her name. And she hates the nick name Izzy.

BUT, I think it is a lovley name.

Middle names to go with isobel:

Isobel Jade
Isobel Hazel
Isobel Ava
Isobel Mae
Isobel Tara
Isobel Eve
Isobel Skye
Isobel Maeve

or Isobel Milla!

(I think it sounds best with a 1 or 2 syllable middle name).

Good luck!

I actually had Isobel on my list too. Although we'd probably go with Izobel.

**CathyS** · February 10th, 2009, 10:00 PM

I'm wondering if I should go with Isobel or Milla now LOL. My Mum doesn't like the name Milla...though I shouldn't let that stop me. The only thing that bothers me is that its a bit like Camilla (a bad sheep in our family).

I am sure in time I'll figure out which name is best though. Or pick something different again lol. 15 weeks still to go.

Izobel is different. Never seen it spelt like that before.
