DD due in a couple of weeks and we can't decide!
Ivy and Annabel seem to be top 2 of our short list which also included Isobel, Poppy and Emily. DH isn't keen on Annabel being shortened to Annie but likes the full name.
Thoughts?!

I prefer Ivy.

Ivy.

There are Annabels everywhere.

Annabel. Ivy isn’t in my top ten but Annabel is.

I think both are lovely but I think Annabel might be shortened to either Annie or Bel/le. My daughter gets called a variation of her name I never intended because it is what people default to.
