Possibly as a middle name? (I'm not pregnant, just wondering)
I'm not usually a fan of made-up variations, but I love the name Jezebel. However, the dictionary definition ("wicked, shameless woman") would kind of prevent me from using it for a child one day. Jessabel has a similar sound without the meaning. Thoughts?

Not my cup of tea, but it's actually pretty cool as a middle name. I like the spelling Jessabel better than Jezebel.

In the Bible Jessabel (spelled differntly) was a Harlot (Whore, Prostitute, Slut) that convinced Samson to stray from the right path. Even if you are not religeous, that name is generally assosiated with a woman of ill-repute. Example: "That Jessabel stole my man"
Just because you change the spelling of the word does not mean you change its meaning. Colour and corlor; tyre and tire all mean the same thing even though their spelling is the same. Plus, no one would say to themselves after hearing the name, "Oh, the spelling is different, it must be OK"
I would not name my kid that.

Yeah, it's wayyyy to similar to Jezebel. Cross Jessabel off your list ASAP!
Mirabel is a cute name, how about that one instead?

Hah, not a flattering definition:p The name Jessabel sounds too "try hard embellishment " for my liking.
