Hello, I have a son and daughter already named Ethan and Penelope and was wondering which girl name goes best with them as a little sister. We are deciding between Juliette and Annabelle. Thanks

Both lovely, though def Juliet spelling.

I much prefer Juliet, with that spelling, lovely name and goes well with your other (equally lovely) names.

Juliet is lovely. Annabelle is very twee, plus it's an actual doll's name.

Annabel and Juliet are nicer spellings.

I prefer Annabel but they are both nice.

Juliet - spelled that way so it’s strong rather than flowery.
Annabelle is a haunted doll 🤣

I prefer Juliet , with that spelling .

I prefer Juliette but would spell it Juliet

OloBo · 01/05/2021 17:07

Both lovely, but I’d go Annabelle (although I’d prefer Annabel)

So weird Annabel or Juliet were on my list bu had aboy

I prefer Juliette- but not if its shortened to Julie or similar.
Annabelle is lovely- and still sounds lovely when shortened to Anna or Belle.

Both lovely but agree with @2tired2bewitty

2tired2bewitty · 01/05/2021 15:37

I like Juliette best if the two, though both lovely. Also she won’t end up in a class full of other *belle/bella ending names
