Annabelle or Annabel?

Stuck in hospital waiting on a c-section. Think we've chosen Annabel/le as a name, but can't decide on spelling.

DH and I disagree, one of us thinks Annabel looks unfinished, the other thinks Annabelle is fussy.

Thoughts?

Well, if it helps, we're in Surrey, and the three I know are local....

But DH has chipped in to say our sister in law from Ireland has spelt her daughters name that way also.

(Forgot about her! 😳)

Hmmm. Thanks for the responses.

I wonder marypoppins if it is a regional thing. Both DH and I have only known it spelt the way we each prefer!

I know 3 girls with that name... one in each of my DD's classes and one as a teenager in my family... and they are all spelt Annabel..

I think either spelling is great and it's a beautiful name! (Congrats!) but I think in my area at least, this is the spelling!

Good luck :)
