Re: Iseabail
in reply to a message by Esmee
Isibeal is the Irish form of Isabelle. It is pronounced, "ISH-bale." I heard a BBC reporter with this name pronounce it, so I can say with confidence that it is correct.As for Iseabeal, I'd guess "ISH-bel," but I'm not sure.I'd say Isobel the same way as Isabel / Isabelle. (I'm from the U.S.)

My Scottish friend Isobel pronounces it IZ-o-bel. Which, where I live, is the same as Isabel; also a ZZZ, not SSS.
