Anna or Annabel?

I know we could use Annabel with Anna for short but I feel that both names have a very different feel to them ! Middle name will be Elizabeth or Charlotte.

I prefer Annabel. I find Anna a bit bland.

The name Annabel freaks me out after the movie.

I think Anna is lovely Grin

Anna

I really like Anna Elizabeth x

I prefer Anna. Annabel sounds a bit like a doll to me.

Anna. Your middle name choices are on the long side so a short first name will flow better. Annabel seems fussier and she'd probably get Belle as a nn which I wouldn't be dying about.

They are very different names, aren't they? I prefer Anna.

Annabelle is lovely imo! Anna is a bit boring

AnyaMoondial · 06/08/2018 19:15

Anna. I feel like the bel spoils it a bit.

Anna is much nicer, classic and international.
