I love the name Isabelle, but I'm undecided as to what I would call her. What are your favorite nicknames?

I like Isabelle very much! I would not use a nickname; I would simply call her Isabelle. But if I had to come up with a nickname, I would probably use Belle, or something that also draws on her middle name. I would not use Izzy. I know that lots of people like Izzy, but to me it is like nails on a chalkboard.

Belle or Bella are common nn's, as well as Izzy. Like pp, I also really can't stand Izzy. Not only the sound, but for me there is also a negative personal association.

FWIW, I prefer the original Isabel spelling- it is SO pretty. Because the Spanish pron. of Isabel is "ee-sah-bel", I think the nn Isa (ee-sah) would be really sweet, even with the Isabelle spelling and English pronunciation.

Good luck,

Liz

My daughter is Isabel and we tend to call her "Bells" Auntie started it and it has kind of stuck.

The French here write it as Isabelle and often use Isa (EE-SAH) as the nickname.
