Never even considered this name before but something about it really appealed to me today. It seemed to be girly yet elegant. Everything I look for in a name.
What do you think of Annabel?
Would it go well with Noah and Jacob?
Which would you prefer? Annabel or Matilda? Thank you.

Prefer Annabel. I know adult Annabels and I only know baby Matildas. Love Noah and Jacob.

I love both

Always adored the name Matilda though

Both the adult Annabelle’s I know have never been known as “Anna” at school or otherwise. But you could nickname it if you wanted

I like it a lot although the various spellings would put me off (not enough not to use it) - I adore Matilda

Both are on my list. I actually prefer Matilda but think we will go with Annabel because it is less popular.

Annabel is lovely and far nicer

Don’t shorten it though

Anna that it's shortened too, however, is awful, as is (orphan) Annie, and the reason I discounted Annabel from our shortlist.

Annabel is far nicer imo

spice3 · 20/10/2019 15:16

It's better than Matilda.

I'll probably be going against the grain a bit but I do prefer the spelling Anabel

daisypond · 20/10/2019 14:53

It’s very nice. I like Matilda too but I prefer Annabel.

SecretWitch · 20/10/2019 14:48

Annabel is a sweet, lovely name. Don’t care too much for Matilda
