It's the only form of
Isabel aside from
Sibeal (as in, the only name that is related to
and bears a noticable resemblance to
Isabel, not one that's spawned from the same source like
Elizabeth, etc) that I enjoy. I think it has an interesting sound without being too unusual, and that it begins with a Z
and I like it is a minor miracle, since I'm not a huge Z names person. :-)
By the way, how do you pronounce it? In my head I always say ZAH-bul, though that's just a guess and I don't know how it actually is intended to be.
Motherland fatherland homeland native land.
It’s all the same. What the hell good to you
is your native land after you’re dead? Whose
native land is it after you’re dead?
