What about the name Esabelle as a variant of Isabelle for a baby name?

I am really looking for an E name but have always loved the name Isabelle. Can you think of a creating spelling using the letter E at the beginning?

What about the name Esabelle as a variant of Isabelle for a baby name?
I think that Esabella, or Esabella is very pretty. I have a habit of pronouncing it with a long E though. So it sounds like E-sabelle instead if I-sabelle. I actually like that better though! :)
Reply:It's cute but she would be annoyed (and so would you) of everyone saying/spelling her name wrong for all eternity.





For a short name she would be called "Essie" which sounds like something off "Little House on the Prairie".





"E" names for women are generally old fashioned and fussy.. Think, "Elizabeth", "Esmerelda" (eew).





Best of luck, but ISABELLE is cute! (as is, "Isabella", but if you don't like the nickname "Izzy", don't do it!)
Reply:I much prefer MEANINGFUL names over "unique" names...





A meaningful name either has a story behind it (you're named for...), a special meaning associated with the name, or is a name that is otherwise special to you and your circumstances





A "unique" name tends to be a reason to misspell a perfectly good name (usually this just looks awful!), a reason to try and "create" a new name or combine two names, or a reason to use some word as a name (who would want to be named Chaos?)

If you like E names - why not Elizabeth? Isabel is the Medieval Proven莽al form of Elizabeth. It spread throughout Spain, Portugal and France, becoming common among the royalty by the 12th century. It grew popular in England in the 13th century after Isabella of Angoul锚me married the English king John, and it was subsequently bolstered when Isabella of France married Edward II the following century.





Eil铆s/Eilish (Pronounced: IE-leesh - Irish Gaelic form of Elizabeth)





Elisa/Elissa (Pronounced: e-LEE-zah - Short form of Elizabeth)





Elsa (Pronounced: EL-s蓹 - Short form of Elizabeth)





Eddie (Pronounced: ED-ee - Diminutive of Edward, Edmund, and other names beginning with Ed)





Eileen (Pronounced: ie-LEEN, ay-LEEN - Anglicized form of EIBHL脥N. It is also considered an Irish form of Helen. It first became popular in the English-speaking world outside of Ireland near the end of the 19th century)





Elaine (Pronounced: i-LAYN - Old French form of Helen. It appears in Arthurian legend; in Thomas Malory's 15th-century compilation 'Le Morte d'Arthur' Elaine was the daughter of Pelleas, the lover of Lancelot, and the mother of Galahad. It was not commonly used as an English given name until after the appearance of Tennyson's Arthurian epic 'Idylls of the King' (1859))





Emmaline/Emmeline (Pronounced: EM-蓹-leen - From the medieval name Ameline, a short form of Germanic names beginning with the element amal meaning "work". It was introduced to England by the Normans)
Reply:It's a nice thought, but names with "spelling variants" (aka misspellings) tend to make the parents look uneducated.

Reply:I really like what you have. Even though your child and your family and so on and so forth will have to tell everyone that it is spelled with a E instead of an I, I think it is unique and that counts alot with me.
Reply:I am sorry, but to me, Esabelle looks like a mess. Not to mention that I think it would be easy to make fun of in highschool-- ie Easy-Belle.





Another pretty E name is Eliana.
