Annabel or Claudia

[NewbieMcNewbie]

Yes, I know they're quite different but I do like them both. Would be interested to hear people's thoughts.

Middle name probably Rose - because it's my middle name too! Not because I have no imagination before you start

Annabel.

I love this name just so much. I think it does every single thing a girl's name should - it is well known and therefore easily spelled (esp since you haven't gone for the extra unnecessary -le frill), has scope for frilly or matter-of-fact diminutives, sounds nice in its own right, etc etc.

Go for it.

Claudia.

But I don't dislike Annabel.

Annabella instead? Annabel is tooooo common but this adds a bit of a change and nicknames can vary from Anna Ann bell bella etc

I prefer Claudia. I know lots of Annabels.

Annabel

[RadagastTheBrown]

Can we decide without knowing the surname so we know how the whole name sounds. I know that's not practicable so I choose Annabel.

But, to give things a twist, I've always preferred Amabel - it was my Nan's name which can be shortened to Amy........

Claudia - it's a really lovely name, and goes really nicely with Rose.

[elcranko]

Annabel.

I like Claudia but it means 'lame one' so that puts me off it.

[MrsCharlieD]

Annabel :-) It's on my list too but we're spelling it Annabelle x

[busylizzie76]

My niece is Annabelle Emily rose :-)

[Rtfairy]

Definitely Annabel and Annabel Rose is beautiful. Not overly keen on Claudia I'm sorry.

[BoyGirlBoy3]

Claudia

[IfYouLoveSomebodyLetThemSleep]

The only Claudia's I've known have been self obsessed, narcissistic and attention seeking, so for that reason I'd choose Annabel.

I feel that way about the name Louise. Never met a nice/sane one.

Annabel - It is a nice name and sounds very cute. As a first name gives you a very independent nature, yet still sound. And a lot Rose either way together works as a middle name. It sound like too.
