Middle name for Annabelle

58 replies

Annabelle is one of our top choices for a girl. But we are struggling with a middle name. We have a short, one syllable surname. What about...

Annabelle Rose
Annabelle Emily

Any other ideas? Thank you Smile

I'm reading these and I'm still on the Annabelle Emilia (which I spelt incorrectly initially 😬). It's not fussy. It uses the front part of the mouth - feels nice to say!

I'm standing by Emilia (but not Emily, that doesn't work!).

My first thought was Iris :)

Rose is beautiful to use after, sounds so classy Annabelle Rose 100%

Don’t know but love the name!

Would personally spell Annabel

Good luck Smile

Not keen in Annabelle Emily. Doesn't seem to flow very well.
Annabelle Rose is nice.
I really like Annabelle Eve.

Jenjenn · 29/12/2021 17:09

Annabel Leah

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 29/12/2021 17:09

Annabelle Jane

Rose is this generation's Louise...

FlowerPower3110 · 29/12/2021 17:08

My DD is Annabel Margaret (family name)

Other names we considered:
Annabel Violet
Annabel Jane
Annabel Elizabeth

mediciempire · 29/12/2021 12:15

Both are quite nice but Rose is a bit boring so I'd choose Annabelle Emily from the two options. If I could choose myself, I'd do Annabelle Jane, Annabelle Lily or Annabelle Florence.

I think a two syllable mn works best with a one syllable surname and longer first name.

What about Rosa rather then Rose?

Or:
Chloe
Charlotte

Flumo · 29/12/2021 11:14

Rose 🥰

DukkaTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 29/12/2021 11:07

Rose is an overly used filler of a middle name, every girl has it.

Kate
Joy
Katrina
Claire
Emma

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/12/2021 10:58

I prefer Emily to Rose, but I don't like the flow of Annabelle Emily. Annabelle Rose just rolls off the tongue.
Although I do like PPs suggestion Annabelle Emelia

Other suggestions.
Annabelle Mary
Annabelle Sofia
Annabelle Florence
Annabelle Josephine
Annabelle Louise
Annabelle Scarlett

CambsAlways · 29/12/2021 10:45

Annabelle Rose Annabelle Lea , Annabelle Eve,

BlowDryRat · 29/12/2021 10:42

Any particular reason for using the 'le' ending? It's a bit frilly.

How about:

Annabelle Meredith
Annabelle Mary
Annabelle Robin
Annabelle Rosemary

BigBenji · 29/12/2021 10:35

Annabel Josie
Annabel Mary
Annabel Esme
Annabel Nina
Annabel Kate

UserBot99 · 29/12/2021 10:33

Agree Annabel Emily is too soft.
Annabel Jemma sounds better.
Annabel Martha

UserBot99 · 29/12/2021 10:32

Joy
Maeve
Ruth

Prefer spelling of Annabel

finallychangedmyusername · 29/12/2021 10:32

I much prefer the less frilly Annabel and like a "no-nonsense middle".

Short options:

Annabel Kate
Annabel Ruth
Annabel Zoe
Annabel Mary
Annabel Eve
Annabel Clara
Annabel Gwen
Annabel Rosa
Annabel Zara
Annabel Tess

Longer options:
Annabel Claudia
Annabel Clementine
Annabel Gwendolen
Annabel Saskia
Annabel Rosalind
Annabel Margaret
Annabel Christina

Theoldwoman · 29/12/2021 10:29

I prefer Annabel spelling.

Annabel Bridget
Annabel Charlotte
Annabel Laura
Annabel Kate
Annabel Clare
Annabel Francesca

ThirdElephant · 29/12/2021 10:11

Something shorter and less frilly- some good suggestions upthread. I particularly like Jean.
