Anabelle is lovely (also Bella)

MerryMarigold · 21/06/2012 23:06

Abigail is the only one I really like. I know a Milly with a sister Isla, which I also like.

workshy · 21/06/2012 23:07

vote for Abigail :)

I like Abigail best - but that's because I'm a History graduate who admires Abigail Adams. I'd stay away from Evie and Bella as first names but Isabelle and Anabelle can both have Bella as a nickname. Sophia and Olivia are also nice. Imogen seems to becoming more popular and whilst I like it, for some reason I think it sounds a bit harsh? Especially with a sibling called Millie. I know two sisters called Millie and Bella, actually.

I love Isabelle and Imogen.

ninjawomble · 22/06/2012 01:24

They are all nice names (but Bella is more a nickname to me) with Isabelle, Sophia and Olivia just edging ahead, but really you can't go wrong with any of them OP. I had Abigail on my list, but someone said to me " oh, sounds like a big gale" and it did put more off that name a bit. Have you thought of a middle name, also think if initials spell any thing unfortunate - that might help make up your mind.

Lannie33 · 22/06/2012 03:26

I like all your names. You can't go wrong. If you want to call her Bella, I'd name her Isabelle or Anabelle.

Lannie33 · 22/06/2012 03:27

PS i like Isabelle better than Anabelle

YodasMummy · 22/06/2012 08:09

I like Abigail, I think it's a lovely name & Abbie is is cute nn.
Isabelle & Evie are very popular at the minute, but are both lovely names if you don't mind her possibly being one of 2, 3 or 4 in her class.

smokeandglitter · 22/06/2012 11:37

Evie and Isabelle are my favourites.

bouncysmiley · 22/06/2012 21:00

Abigail is lovely

Fireandashes · 22/06/2012 21:04

Olivia and Imogen are two of my all-time favourite names; Abigail is pretty too.

MrsLetch · 23/06/2012 12:46

I'd go with Annabelle.

For some reason I just don't like the name Abigail. Compared to the others, it sounds more clunky to me and not as pretty. I don't like Abby as a nickname either I'm afraid.

I do like Evie and Isabelle, but there are so many of them around, that I would personally avoid those names. I could name at least half a dozen children under 5 named Evie or Isabelle, probably more if I stopped to think about it.

This leaves Annabelle. Pretty, classy, feminine but with the added bonus of not being too popular. I only know 1 child called Annabelle.

KosherBacon · 23/06/2012 13:01

I like them in exactly the order you posted-
Isabelle
Evie
Abigail
Anabelle

milliemoomummy · 23/06/2012 21:00

Isabelle or Imogen my faves. Wouldn't do Bella as given name but nice as nn. Not fond of Abigail.

GooseRocks · 23/06/2012 22:17

Isabelle.

manicinsomniac · 24/06/2012 03:11

Lovely choices!

My order of preference would be:
Abigail, Isabelle, Annabelle, Sophia, Bella, Olivia, Evie

CheerfulYank · 24/06/2012 03:25
