Catherine Hope is lovely (don't like the others, particularly Holly).

Catherine Hope is gorgeous. Not so keen on Holly or Annabel.

Holly is the nicer name but Annabel goes better with an H surname. I normally like alliteration, but I don't think two Hs work.

Annabel by a country mile.

Holly seems so meh, it' just melts into the sea of Mollys, Millies, Chloes etc. Annabel stands head and shoulders above them.

Annabel. Both nice names but Holly Hope sounds too cutesy.

But she wouldn't be Holly Hope anyway, she'd be Holly Catherine Hope Surname.

Holly Hope sounds like a chiclit heroine to me Smile

Holly - have to disagree with poster above as I think Holly Hope sounds great.

The thing with Annabel is you can do more with it. It gives more flexibility, while still being a lovely name in its own right. Anna, Ann, Annie, Bella, etc.

All my kids have names that you can't do much with and frankly I regret that. I love the names, but I do wish (as the proud owner of tweens/teens) I'd chosen ones that give them more scope to personalise them as they get older.

Both are so lovely I just can't choose.

Love both of them, but if I have to choose one - Annabel

Annabel. Holly doesn't go with a summer baby.
