Reasons for Name Change  Isabel is the Spanish form of the name  If the name is to be Anglicized it should be Elizabeth Isabella is not the English form of the name Isabella is not the Spanish form of the name Foreign names are often Anglicized in order to facilitate their pronunciation in English which is not the case here   Isabella sounds harsh to the ear of the Hispanophone  The use of Isabella can be attributed to the antiSpanish Black Legend  Even though Isabella has been used traditionally there is no technical problem in redirecting it to Isabel  The many comments below over the months and years expressing dissatisfaction with the use of Isabella is ample proof of the desirability of changing the name  Since most editors in the English Wikipedia are monolingual Anglophones a simple count of those in favor versus those in opposition to the proposed name change based on a naming policy which favors the view of the majority would be unfair to the minority of Hispanphones who access the English Wikipedia Simple respect for the wishes of Hispanophones should trump all other considerations MST
