  • Interests:I LOVE reading. I'm into almost every genre and generally read a book a week, if possible. I like Iris Johansen, Karen Marie Moning, Stephen King, James Patterson, Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Diana Gabaldon, Kathy Reichs, and Robert Burns (every Scot's favorite author). I really love music and even got accepted to the Mason Gross School of Performing Arts at Rutgers University (my alma mater) for vocal performance. Unfortunately performance life was not for me, so I went into English Lit and French instead. Music is still a big part of my life, and I like a multitude of musical genres from Reggae to Rock to Opera. I've seen Carmen and La bohème each twice. (And I cry every time.) My husband and I also have a special place in our hearts for The Beatles.

The only other spellings I know for Isabella are Izabella, Isabela, and Isobella.

My friend's sister spells it Izobela. I've also seen Izabela, Izabella,Isobela, Isobella, Izobella Isabela and the most popular of Isabella.

I've only ever seen Caleb as Caleb or Kaleb. I guess it depends if you want it as [kay-lib] or [Cal-ib]. My cousin was almost [Kay-lib], so my aunt wanted it spelled Kayleb. That's too different for me. Stick with Caleb.

Spellings mentioned above are the only spellings I know as well. I prefer Isabella or Isobella and I only like Caleb. I think the more traditional the better, it's always more attractive, and won't cause problems.

I've seen Ysabel before, but Ysabela or Ysabella would probably be going overboard.

I would stick with Caleb and Isabella...they both look nicer and more respectable when spelled the traditional way. Plus, it's far more convenient anyway.
