I loved holly but was awful with Our H surname

CPtart · 19/06/2014 16:57

Catherine Hope is lovely (don't like the others, particularly Holly).

Legionofboom · 19/06/2014 16:43

Catherine Hope is gorgeous. Not so keen on Holly or Annabel.

AWombWithoutARoof · 19/06/2014 15:32

Holly is the nicer name but Annabel goes better with an H surname. I normally like alliteration, but I don't think two Hs work.

Annabel by a country mile.

Holly seems so meh, it' just melts into the sea of Mollys, Millies, Chloes etc. Annabel stands head and shoulders above them.

Littlestar3432 · 16/06/2014 19:36

Holly although they are both pretty x

DaisyBug1212 · 16/06/2014 18:19

Annabel x

DiamondsAndRust · 16/06/2014 14:28

Annabel. Both nice names but Holly Hope sounds too cutesy.

helensburgh · 15/06/2014 20:24

Annanel

SoftSheen · 15/06/2014 20:23

Definitely Annabel!

Annabel

HenI5 · 12/06/2014 16:46

But she wouldn't be Holly Hope anyway, she'd be Holly Catherine Hope Surname.

Holly Hope sounds like a chiclit heroine to me Smile

squatcher · 12/06/2014 15:59

Holly - have to disagree with poster above as I think Holly Hope sounds great.

HenI5 · 12/06/2014 15:54

Annabel

Annabel

The thing with Annabel is you can do more with it. It gives more flexibility, while still being a lovely name in its own right. Anna, Ann, Annie, Bella, etc.

All my kids have names that you can't do much with and frankly I regret that. I love the names, but I do wish (as the proud owner of tweens/teens) I'd chosen ones that give them more scope to personalise them as they get older.

Rtfairy · 11/06/2014 22:13

Both are so lovely I just can't choose.

eatmydust · 11/06/2014 22:11

Love both of them, but if I have to choose one - Annabel

Annabel. Holly doesn't go with a summer baby.

Casey123 · 11/06/2014 22:00

Holly gets my vote.

Mrsindecision · 11/06/2014 21:43

Annabel for me by a long way.

IsabellaRoarsome · 11/06/2014 20:45

Holly! Every time I come across a newborn Annabel I hear sings baybee anaaaabeeeeel from the doll advert!

TobyLerone · 11/06/2014 19:48

Holly. I love a bit of alliteration, and I love the name Holly.

lecherrs · 11/06/2014 19:47

Annabel
