Think I've made a mistake with baby name!

I've just registered my newborn baby as Annabelle Mollie but having regrets that it should have been the other way round..my husband admitted a week ago that he thought it should have been the other way round but I felt it was too late to change having told everyone and got presents/cards with Annabelle on..Also Mollie was my grandmothers name and she was born on her birthday-my mum said she really likes Annabelle but I could tell she was disappointed. We had problems deciding name DD2 so was so worried about taking so long this time my husband put me on spot just as she was born to decide-felt Annabelle in the most birth euphoria was more beautiful but now think Mollie is cuter and more fun like my other daughters names.. also would have more meaning. I didn't choose it originally also because our other daughters names end in the "ie" sound and surname starts with a M. My husband thinks the alliteration would have been good and he "loves" Mollie but only likes Annabelle. She's only a few weeks old so don't know whether should just start calling her my her middle name as in time will be forgotten! Driving me crazy..

My DP is welsh too! I have noticed its a very popular thing here in Wales.

You've picked a name combo that sounds good both ways - I really like it!

I'd just call her by her middle name for a few weeks and see how you feel about it - you have time and can wait to change the birth certificate name, if you want to, later.

Are you sure you want the 'ie' spelling? Molly seems more usual.
