Annabel?

i know none and love the name :-) is a top fave if we have another girl one day!

Fussy. Made up (okay by Byron, so a vintage classic if you like, but always sounds odd to me as it has the Italian feminine 'Anna' with a French masculine ending 'bel'). And above all sounds like the fairy at the top of the Christmas tree. Annabel/Tinkerbell..

Isobel the 'bel' name I would go for.

I think it's nice and not a bit boring.

Nice. Ony of my dd2's closest friends is the only one I know - she's 6.

I think this is the only 'bel' name that I do like, elegant.

Love Anna!

I think it's a bit simpering and cutesy. Anna and Annie are both good though. No offence meant, I'm just not that keen on names ending with 'bel', or 'ette'. Good luck anyway.

Love it!

This is my sister's name. She absolutely hates it, despite the fact she is good looking and funny, and just what you would hope to be if you were called Annabel.

I am not massively keen, find it a bit princessy, but that may be due to particular Annabels I have known...!

She thinks its ridiculous. Looks and personality wise, she is somewhere between Kate Winslet and Sue Sylvester from Glee, with a Hull accent. She hates the way that whenever she tells anyone her name, they say 'Annabel?' as they struggle to reconcile their preconceptions with the person stood before them.

Even as a child, she hated it. When she moved to secondary school she tried to change it, and we had people ringing up asking for Annie.

The plus side is that no one ever forgets it, and when she addressed conferences, she is the one speaker every one remembers.

As the big sister, and the one who, according to family legend, chose the name Annabel, I still think its funny she is called Annabel. I forget about it for a while, and don't notice it, and then something will make me become aware of it, and it will make me laugh. I'm smiling now.

Love Annabel, But my DH doesn't so had to scrap it off my list.

Only know one and she is a 2nd cousin that I don't see at all
