My name is Isobel, and for the first thirteen years or so of my life I didn't really like it - not generally, just not for myself. Now however, I love my name as a name by itself and for me. Just recently I learned my parents never intended the O to be very important or pronounced, but I had been asking people (quite shyly) to pronounce it. I have disregarded my parents initial ideas of the pronunciation (they chose it because it is Welsh, as is much of my background) and asked people to pronounce the O, though it is a subtle difference.
It's a very lovely name, elegant in look and sound - it does set one apart in a small but significant way. Sometime however (more recently now) people have thought my name is Elizabeth when I introduce myself. Not too often though.
I love my name more than ever now, and it makes me feel a little special - always has.

While primarily associated with Scotland, Isobel is also used in England. My gran was called this, and she had no Scottish connection whatsoever. I believe it turns up also in old English medieval records, when spellings were more idiosyncratic than now.
