I love Belle. Just Belle. Hooband will allow on list (major hurdle jumped..) but doesn't love it...Prefers Annabelle....

would it be better to have a long name like Annabelle and shorten to Belle or should i just be confident that it is a name in its own right....

They're both nice but just bear in mind that others may give her a nickname from annabelle other than belle like, erm, Anna.
If you prefer belle then just go with belle.
Which sounds best with your surname?

Annabelle- just prefer it & it's more versatile

Personally I much prefer Annabelle, and it gives more options - full name or Annie/Belle as nickname.
