My paternal great grandmother was Maria Ysabel Caballero, baptised 16Dec1860 in Totatiche, Jalisco. Daughter of Tranquilino Caballero y Maria Juliana de la Trinidad Avila

I have now found another child of Tranquilino Caballero y Trinidad D'abila, baptised on 01Mar1864 in Tlaltenango de Sanchez Ramon, Zacatecas.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15530-33887-83?cc=1804458&wc…

This record indicates Ysabel was a male child. Was this name actually used for both sexes? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Saludos,
Roy

Indeed Isabel is one of those names used for both sexes in Mexico and other countries.
The nickname for the girls is Chabela, and for the boys is Chabelo.
Here are a couple of examples:
