Middle name for Annabelle

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

Rose goes better, but is bland as a filler middle name. Emily is too much of a mouthful. Annabelle is a flouncy spelling. Annabel is the normal classic spelling. I’d go for something simple if you choose Annabelle, like Jane. You’ve got more leeway with the classic Annabel.

What about a more unusual name? Something like Cassia, Scarlett, Summer or a name with a family meaning, relating to a place you’ve lived in or where you honeymooned (Possibly not Bognor or Minehead).

I think Annabel Emily is a bit fussy, but I think you also want to avoid the overused filler middle names Rose, Grace, May and Eve

Annabelle is pretty but quite flowery so maybe something classic and 2 syllable to bridge to the single syllable surname, also think you want something soft to contrast with the slightly sharp Anna sound - eg -

Annabelle Frances
Annabelle Katherine
Annabelle Mary
Annabelle Beatrice
Annabelle Lucy
Annabelle Edith

I think the 2 e's with Annabelle to Emily is a bit too much so of those two I'd pick Rose.

Annabelle Emelia Smith (it rolls over the tongue with the one syllable surname!)
