Grin Phew!

Annabel - classic and timeless.

PlanetLizard · 27/01/2011 12:38

Annabel is a lovely name.

Catsmamma · 27/01/2011 12:42

it's a bit rah-rah.

and none of the Annabels I have know have been nice, but it is better than Egberta. :)

Aw, I was just getting all nostalgic about Button Moon Blush

Annabel is lovely

Love it. (I have a hankering after the spelling Anabelle, but I'm aware that that looks terribly trendy.)

I love the name think it is very petty. But a word of caution my friends DD always giggled at a girl and called her baby Annabel sorry.

As in the peeing baby? Yuck!

We could get away with the full 'Annabelle' spelling as our surname is short and French but I think the short spelling looks more classic.

Yes unfortunatly the peeing baby sorry.

Annabelle is lovely. My cabbage patch kid was called Egberta, Egberta Kay.

Don't like it, sorry, it sounds too pretentious to me! Blush

I like it. There is a lovely (but rather sad) poem, Annabel Lee, by Edgar Allan Poe.

Love Annabel, go for it.

Annabel Egberta has a nice ring to it Grin

onimolap · 28/01/2011 23:27

It would be a nice name, if it weren't for the dratted doll.

Egberta would be character forming.....

I love it :)
