Spelling of Annabelle

[PrincessWatermelon]

Which spelling looks most usual or sensible?

Annabelle
Anabel
Annabell
Anabelle

Or another that I've missed!

Thanks!

I think annabelle and annabel are most popular ways of spelling this but whatever you choose people are likely to misspell it so just choose what you like best!

Annabel

step dd is Annabel and i love the spelling - looks elegant and classic (and no not made up, i have seen many others spelt this way!) xx

We have an Annabel and it is often mis-spelt: Anabell, Annabell, Anabelle etc. even amongst her friends....so be prepared for that . Still love it though.

Definitely Annabelle

I think Annabel looks best, any extra letters make it too fussy and are unnecessary imo.

I also like the one you missed out best - Annabel. The others are too frilly.

Our daughter is spelt Annabelle. To me the traditional spelling looked unfinished and a little ugly, but I was initially very embarrassed to be spelling it 'wrong'. I'm used to it now and think the Annabelle spelling is very pretty.'

Also when we deciding on spelling and we asked people how to spell it, everyone of our generation (late 20's/early 30's) said with the le on the end. Our parents generation said the traditional way.

Annabel.

I think it depends what you might want to shorten it to.

I like the name Anna, so would be tempted to go with Annabel.

If you might want to shorten to Bell, the go with Anabelle.

Annabel

Annabel.

Annabelle is naff.

Annabel, is classic and looks best I think.

DD has that as her middle name.

I like Annabel best, Annabelle a bit too frilly/fussy for me (though if you don't mind that it is a pretty name).

Don't like it with the single 'n', just looks like you've spelled it wrongly!

I prefer it Annabelle, but then I love frilly girls names! It looks more complete and a proper mixture of Anna and Belle.

Mine is Annabelle, again its looks unfinished otherwise.

I dont know any other Annabelle's though.

Anabelle

Annabel

Seems a real mix between Annabelle and Annabel then! Thanks for the input. This will be the middle name, so abbreviations won't come into it, I suspect. Think I'll try writing her full name down and see what looks right.

Thanks again!

Annabel-the other looks like two names-as if they should be hyphenated:- Anna-Belle

Annabel.

Possibly Annabelle but this does look like 'I'm trying to be French'

Annabel.
