Eliza or Annabelle?? or Clara!!

[bloombloombell]

Hi, i would love all your opinions please! My favourite is Clara, however im Claire and sometimes get called Clara, also my husband is not too keen on Clara. He loves Annabelle,which i like too however im worried that people will always be wondering how to spell it and it will get abbreviated. Ive always liked Eliza and my husband has just come round to it, not sure if im bullying him into it though :) Im due in two weeks and havent got a clue! I like solid classic names. x

Eliza, then Clara (both lovely, but can see why you want to avoid as close to your name)....

Then Annabelle.

Clara or Eliza. Annabelle is not very nice imo.

Clara is lovely, prefer Elize/Elise to Eliza and don't like Annabelle.

Prefer Annabel (and this spelling, not belle). Annabel Clara works, indeed so does Annabel Claire, even Annabel Eliza at a stretch.

Clara is lovely

Clara

A friend has an Annie Clara, which goes nicely together.

ooh i like Annie Clara, though my other daughters are Rosie and Lucy, do you think having an Annie would be too many eeee endings? :)

just realised, there is an Annie & Clarabel in Thomas the Tank Engine, so Annie Clara or Annabel Clara might be a bit similar?

They'll not always be lumped together as a sibling set. I think all 3 are lovely names in their own right and do follow a similar style. Wouldn't bother me personally :)

All lovely. Annabel as the spelling though, please!

Clara is lovely, but too similar to your own name, don't you think? A middle name, maybe.

Overall I'd suggest Annabel. The 'belle' ending is a bit too frilly?

Eliza yes quite nice.

Annabel Clara?

How about simply Anna or even Belle?

What about Clarabel?

Eliza (but i do like them all).

Clara!

Annabel or Clara....not too keen on Eliza. Or, like Chesspiece says, what about Belle. I have a niece called Belle & it really suits her.

Im sorry but I dont like Clara at all makes me think of old ladies (sorry if thats offensive im only giving you insight in to my daft head) I love Eliza and Annabelle though :)

Clara and Eliza are my favourites, probably would go for Eliza as Clara quite similar to your name.

Eliza.

End of.

I have got an Annabel, who is often gets called Annie. I love her name and chose it because I think it has got lots of lovely shortenings.

I have an Eliza, Anna (Annie) and Clara - you have very good taste in names .

Eliza. Clara is nice but far too similar to your name.

Papyrus, what a coincidence :)

Grrrr my husband has said he has now completely gone off Eliza! Now thinking Annabel/belle and Clara as a middle name. Maybe i should just be a bully and insist on my fav Eliza, after all its going to me going through all the pain!

Eliza goes so well with your other DDs names. I like Clara too but is perhaps a bit too similar to your name. Annabel is ok but only with this spelling.
