Annabel?

Annabel, Annabelle or Annabella? Seems to have dropped out of the top 100 in the UK and I’m quite surprised because I’d have thought it was seen as quite similar to Isabel, Isabelle and Isabella?

Do you think it’s maybe a bit dated?

Has to go with a three syllable surname.

Thanks wise mumsnetters!

Annabelle is one of my eldest daughters middle names I love it

I have an Annabelle...much prefer that spelling as Annabel looks unfinished somehow. Also because belle means pretty in French!! It's not a common name.. she's nearly 17 now and I've only come across 2 other Annabelles of similar age.
No matter how 'fashionabe' or 'unfashionable' a name is, if you love it, go for it!! What does it matter?!

It's a lovely name. Annabelle is my favourite spelling

Annabelle is nicer

I love Annabelle, I think it’s a prettier spelling than Annabel.
