oops hadn't finished typing

annabel is my preference

annabelle is too froufrou, 'trying to hard' to be different for my taste

anabelle seems more continental - i would guess russian, french parentage?

I don't know many annabels young or old but it is a very familiar name of good stock! go for it

Maggie - sorry, no, I don't know any little Jennifers!

Annabelle Juliet seems a bit of a mouthful? Not sure what goes with it better, though. Violet is pretty.

Annabel- simple and classic.

Juliet? Good God no! You did choose the spelling though, so one out of two isn't bad.....grin

Annabel Juliet is much nicer! Violet is nice in itself, but v like Violent.

So Annabel, possibly Annabelle then....

we were going to go for Violet but DH changed his mind and Annabel was next on the list. Maybe Annabel/le Violet?

I like the Annabel spelling myself - don't mind the Annabelle but really not keen on Anabel - looks a bit incomplete to me

I know one (spelt Annabelle I think) aged 8

Housemum are you my friend? She called her dd Jennifer and to her astonishment has met a few other little girl/toddler Jennifers.

I like Jenny, susie, Melanie, there are a few 70s names I love. Jillian, Lindsay, although, I'd spell it Linzey.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
