Sister for Annabelle

Just that really. We don't know the gender but we're decided on a name it its a boy. We love our DD's name and it really suits her and I love the nn options (she uses Annie and Belle depending on the wind direction!) but I am worried that we won't love another as much. Must be a name that has nn options but I would use the full name on birth certificate.

Other names that I love are:

Juliet nn Ettie (despite opting for the frillier, less mumsnet friendly spelling of Annabelle, I prefer the Juliet spelling rather than Juliette)

Charlotte nn Lottie ( don't love Charlotte but love love love Lottie)

Elisabeth nn Bess (again, more in love with the nn)

Felicity (though DH was unconvinced last time)

Josephine nn Josie

Other names that I like but cannot use are:

Beatrice
Alice
Eleanor
Emily
Olivia
Sophie
Rosa

DH says no to Florence, Constance, Prudence.

What else might I like / which of those names do you like best? Thanks!! Xx

I have an Annabelle too Smile sadly she is to the last (we have two ds too). BUT if we were to have another girl she would have been Jemima.

oldspeckledtam · 22/05/2016 09:39

I have an Anabelle. If DS had been a DD we had chosen Heather. Nn would be Hetty.

I wanted Kathryn, shortened to Kitty but Dh vetoed.

The girls names I loved before I found out I was having a boy were:
Minnie-Lou = Miinie or Lou for nn
Eliza = Ellie or Lizzie
Aurora = Rory
Madeleine = Maddie
Mathilda = Tilly
Betsy

I second Cassandra nn Cassie (or Sandy) - goes beautifully with Annabelle

Claudia,
Miriam (Mimi),

Mary,
Francesca (Chessie)
Delphine

I have a cousin called Annabelle. Her sister is called Jennifer.

NameNumber2 · 19/05/2016 21:50

We have an Annabel and Charlotte, I also liked joscelyn and felicity.

ShesElectric · 19/05/2016 21:45

I like Charlotte (Lottie) as a sibling for Annabelle.

DD2 is Charlotte (mostly known as Lottie) and Annabelle was on our list for DD1 although we went with Isabel in the end.

I also love Harriet (Hattie) and love Ettie as a nickname for Juliet.

If you like Rosa would Rosalie work?

I used to know twins called Annabelle and Emily and they had another sister called Kate. I think all of those names are lovely.

Noodlebugs1981 · 19/05/2016 21:44

Josie and Annie are gorgeous!

SabineUndine · 19/05/2016 21:37

Cecily.

usernamewastooobv · 18/05/2016 23:28

Jocelyn nn joss or jocy

DramaAlpaca · 18/05/2016 23:19

Charlotte & Juliet are my favourites from your list.

Dangerouswoman · 18/05/2016 23:17

I feel like you need a one syllable name eg
Annabelle and Kate
Annabelle and Eve
Annabelle and Tess
Annabelle and Jane
Annabelle and Faye
Annabelle and Rose
Annabelle and Beth
Annabelle and Hope

Some of those are shortened versions of longer names so you could use those eg Katherine, Elizabeth.

GreenBeans17 · 18/05/2016 23:10

Charlotte is my favourite Smile goes well with Annabelle. I think Juliette goes amazing! However, that spelling, so it's even Grin

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 18/05/2016 14:37

For some reason I think Lucille (Lucy) goes nicely.

CPtart · 18/05/2016 14:35

Don't like Felicity and prefer Elizabeth spelt this way.
Probably prefer Juliet.
How about Louisa, Faye, Alexandra, Cassandra, Melissa.

anniebambammie · 18/05/2016 14:32

I also have an Annabelle and I really love Olivia and Elisabeth!

Wintersummerwintersummer · 18/05/2016 13:49

Thanks for some lovely suggestions guys. I think my favourites are Charlotte and Juliet still but it's good to do this to be sure of that! Xx
