Which do you prefer and why?

Not keen on Meredith. Matilda, then Annabel.

Meredith. Definitely.

Mathilda is too popular
Annabelle is too girly

The only drawback for Meredith for me is that far from it being a wet girly name, my Welsh speaking friend says that is a very butch man's name in Wales Shock.

Not Meredith - brings to mind Meredith kercher. The others are pretty

Annabelle

Definitely Meredith for me - I think the opposite of Bowlersarm - to me it sounds strong and not overly girly.

Matilda is nice but its current popularity would bother me.

Annabel I think of as being a bit frilly and horsey-sounding. Like Anna/Anya though.

Annabel. Pretty. Doesnt need to be shortened, but if you want to there are lovely options-Anna/Annie/Belle/Bella.

Matilda is ok.

Really not keen on Meredith. Sounds wet, to me.

Meredith, Matilda then Annabel.

Annabelle/Annabel reminds me of the Baby Annabelle doll. Nothing wrong with that, but I would prefer Anna.

Matilda followed by Annabel - spelled this way!

Meredith, not keen.
