It's currently the only name DH and I both agree on, but I'm still unsure. Some other suggestions would be fab please! Not so keen on the other -bel or -bella names though... Love Thomasina, Florence and Catriona but DH not keen. He loves Sophie but I'm not keen... Help!

Ds2 was going to be Annabel if he had been a girl, ds1 would have been Emilia. The other names on our list were Harriet, Emmeline, Florence, Elspeth, Aoife, Matilda, Imogen and Polly.

I like Esther or Eliza

Ds1 would have been Sophie, ds2 would have been annabel Lola or Lola annabel, thomasina sounds too much like Thomas to me I think but ds1 is Thomas.

Annabel is lovely IMHO.

Annabel is a gorgeous name and not overused.

Thanks all. Like Matilda and Polly. Not ruling out Annabel, just need to be certain!

Anna is much better than Annabel. Annabel is very frilly, very pony club.

Winnie78 · 03/04/2012 19:45

Thank you. Annabel is still the front runner. I like Jemima and Romilly... Will run them past DH Smile

I would stick with Annabel.

annbenoli · 06/04/2012 09:28

We have an Annabel, I have never understood why there aren't more of them it is a gorgeous name. She is now 3 and she loves her name.

fatmummy35 · 06/04/2012 18:39

oh no Annabel reminds me of Baby Annabel the doll Grin

I love Annabel. DD2 was going to be Annabel, until my mother pointed out that it didn't really go with our surname. (And she was right darn her). She was going to be Annabel Sophia, shortened to Annie or Anna.
