I love it spelled this way

I see Isobars... which makes me a science nerd. I prefer the more common spellings.

I love this spelling of the name!

I really like the spelling!

Hate it. As someone who had an unusual maiden name, I think she's going to spend the rest of her life spelling it out for people and having to correct it. That's just my 2 cents though.

This was my absolute favorite name when I was in high school. I loved that it was such a feminine name and that it had a unique spelling without being "uneek." I do think the spelling might pose problems, but not any more than Sarah with an H or Sara without an H since it is a legitimate spelling of the name.

This exactly! By the way, I don't understand. Why would you change the spelling if it sounds the same otherwise?

My DD is Isabel, named after my aunt who spells it this way. Otherwise, we definitely would have considered Isobel. I do like it! (although it does remind me of isobars--but I'm a weather geek, so that's fine with me)

I like the name but just never liked that spelling.

I also prefer Isabel... Isobel, I want to say iz-O-bel. I know it's a legitimate spelling, it just looks harsh to me for some reason, whereas Isabel looks and sounds softer. (IMO).
