I love Isabel, he loves Isabelle. Which do you prefer?

Also, we don't really agree on any boys names... So, what name do you think would would work with Isabel in a siset? Here's some additional criteria.
1. Nothing starting or ending in 's'
2. Nothing ending in '-n'

Thanks

I'm not a fan of the name at all, but I much prefer Isabelle to Isabel.

The first name that popped into my head for a sibset was Andrew.

i prefer isabelle. i just like long names though, so i'll take basically anything with extra letters as long as it doesn't get ridiculous.

isabelle is actually one of my favorite girls names, my favorite boys name is elliott. i also quite like benjamin but that doesn't fit the no -n requirement.

Isabelle. Isabel doesn't look complete to me.

Isabel is very latin/hispanic, whereas Isabelle sounds more British. Is either closer to your heritage? If not, I can't decide!

Isabelle is French as well. If I'm thinking of which is more British to me I actually go with Isobel.

I prefer Isabelle, however the name as a whole doesnt appeal to me much. I prefer Isabella, but only because I like the nickname Bella.

I prefer Isabelle.

I like Alexander as part of a sibset.

i LOVE isabel so much more than isabelle, but thats mostly because i dont like the belle/bella nicknames, so i think isabel avoids that somewhat.

one of my twin sibsets (both my man and i have twins in our immediate families) i have picked out is: isabel and oliver. i love the "issie and ollie" match.

or, how about nathaniel?

I prefer Isabel. It is the Spanish spelling (vs. the French, I think?). I actually love it so much I named my cat Isabel, and my husband stubbornly refuses to believe that it is not a Russian name (Russian?!). When he had her tag made he wrote Isabel Tolstoy *facepalm*

I'd probably go with Isabel or Isabella, but not Isabelle.

I knew a sibset (British) of Inigo, Isabella, and Isambard. I like both boy names but three similar is too much.

Other suggestions...

Calypso (f)
Jago (m)
Cosima (f, pr. similar to 'cosmic' - KOH-zimah)
Cosmo (m)
Pandora
Violet
Percy
Basil
