I guess that would Grace as in 'Grace after Meals'

I'm surprised anyone would suggest Isabelle. Besides being the translation of Jezebal/Izevel, who was a wicked queen in Tanach, it is also the name of the wicked Spanish Queen Isabelle who expelled the JEws in 1492. Not exactly great connotations over there.

Actually, Isabelle comes from Elizabeth. The similarity to Izevel is coincidental. Just saying.
