A facebook friend of a friend is:

Isabeau

What do you think?

At first I was like "WTH?" but the more I say it the more I like it.  I think it's a neat variation of Isabelle - except for the whole Belle = girl, Beau = boy thing.  (The name was on a girl)

I've always thought it was weird but it's an actual French name. It was used in a story I loved when I was young...for a girl who had a twin sister called Isabelle. It's considered a very old-fashioned name here, though.

[Edited because something else occured to me] For us French-speaking people, spelling Isabel instead of Isabelle would be the same as Isabeau since "bel" is the form we use with a masculine name starting with a vowel ("un bel enfant").
