@lifechangesforever the correct original spelling is Anneliese.

Love both Anneliese and Annabel OP. Agree that Annabelle looks too frilly!

RavenWings · 18/03/2018 21:57

Vastly prefer Annalise / Annelise / Anneliese to Annabel. Annabel always sounded fussy to me.

I'd probably use Anneliese.

Sophronia · 18/03/2018 14:27

Anneliese is the original German spelling.

lifechangesforever · 18/03/2018 09:09

Ok so I'm shocked that spelling hasn't come up once on this post Confused maybe I'm wrong!

lifechangesforever · 18/03/2018 09:08

The correct spelling is 'Analeise' always looks strange to me with two n's - but that's probably because it's one of my good friend's names and it's how she spells it.

Dixiestampsagain · 18/03/2018 09:03

I like it spelt Annelise (literally like Ann and Elise). It was on our ‘shortlist’ for DD- kind of wish we’d used it!

Belindabauer · 18/03/2018 08:53

Both lovely
Annabel or Anneliese

Redpramlady · 17/03/2018 23:44

Annabel

Sophronia · 17/03/2018 21:06

I like the Annaliese spelling as you can shorten it to Anna

MrsHathaway · 17/03/2018 19:06

Anneliese or Annabel.

I think they're both lovely - and tbh I think any of the spellings you've listed would be fine.

AnyaMoondial · 17/03/2018 18:35

Annabel looks beautiful and sophisticated. Annabelle looks a bit frilly to me.

I prefer anneliese to the other spellings.

ThunderR0ad78 · 17/03/2018 18:16

Definitely Annabelle!! Beautiful name

ChocolateCrunch · 17/03/2018 17:04

Anneliese, but also like Annabella.

madamedepoppadom · 17/03/2018 15:50

Annalise/Annelise (and I also like Anneli)

Annabel (I prefer that spelling) isn't bad, but for some reason I think of it as a bit "sloaney" (showing my age there) - maybe because of the nightclub Annabels?

DramaAlpaca · 17/03/2018 15:40

Annabel. Annabelle is a bit frilly & fussy in comparison.

The Anneliese spelling looks right to me.

As I've just demonstrated! Grin

Annaliese will be constantly mispelt/mispronounced if you're in the UK

Ruffian · 17/03/2018 15:36

Annelise. I don't like Annabel in either form.

MammieBear · 17/03/2018 15:34

Annabel is the better looking...

MammieBear · 17/03/2018 15:34

Anneliese as this is the original spelling.

Frankfurt17 · 17/03/2018 15:32

I prefer Annabel.

NannyR · 17/03/2018 15:31

I like both of them. I prefer the Anneliese and Annabel spellings.
