Annabelle

[queenofkale]

We are pretty much set on Annabelle. It goes really nicely with Clara our other DD.

DH is very keen on Charlotte as a middle name as it's his favourite but we ruled it out due to popularity.

Question is Annabelle Charlotte too much of a mouthful? If so any helpful suggestions?

Much prefer it spelled Annabel! But yes they go well together.

Horror film

Sorry

I prefer Annabel, but yes they sound good together.

Annabelle

They are fine together OP.
You’ll hardly ever say the names together anyway - unless you actually want her to be known by her two first names.

The combination makes me think of Annie and Clarabelle, Thomas the Tank engine's coaches.

Annabel is better, I think. Annabelle looks slightly affected/prissy to me. But it goes fine alongside Charlotte.

Annabel is much nicer. Don't like Annabelle.

I too prefer the Annabel spelling but think it’s a lovely name regardless and goes well with Charlotte IMO :)

Both lovely names and fine together

I prefer Annabel spelling. I think it's nice with Charlotte . It's not too long unless you have to embroider it on school uniform 😉

Clara and Annabelle together remind me of Thomas the Tank engine, not that thats necessarily a bad thing and they're both lovely names.

I instantly thought of Thomas the tank engine too! Both ok on their own but not don't like them together.

Annabelle Charlotte is lovely!

I'm pregnant at the moment and my two front runners are Clara and Annabel...lovely names. I think Annabel Charlotte is lovely (I think I do prefer the simpler spelling though).

Good name i have an annabelle shes 9. Now middle name

Sorry hadn't realized that you were asking whether Charlotte went with Annabelle not whether Annabelle went with Clara in which case yes they go together well but like pp I think the Annabel spelling goes better.

Beautiful name

Annabelle is too fussy for me & I much prefer Annabel, but it does work with Charlotte as a middle name.

I prefer the shorter spelling, lovely name but not with Clara as a sibling - definitely screams Thomas the tank!

I'm torn on the spelling for those who prefer Annabel can I ask why?

For me I think it almost looks unfinished (but I am dyslexic so a few words look like that to me.) I wanted to use Annabelle so she had the option of Anna or Belle as nicknames.

I am really not fussed about the Thomas thing... I don't think that this will be a problem long term or even really while they are toddlers.

Annabel is much nicer.

Annabelle looks very overly girly and pretentious to me, and it's not the classic spelling. It's a little yooniq.

And she can still use Belle as a nickname if it's spelt Annabel. I know two Isabel's who go by Belle.

Annabel is much nicer! More elegant and classy!

Annabelle is too frilly and has a very different feel.

I also prefer Annabel, but I'm not sure why ! Annabelle looks like two names stuck together I think... If that makes sense....

But I do think Anabel Charlotte is lovely. She could still go by Anna or Belle as a nn, don't think the spelling changes that.

Annabel is the classic English spelling - like Isobel/Isabel instead of Isabelle.

Annabelle is a bit pretentious and fiddly. The extra E doesn't add anything if you're going to pronounce it Annabel. Annabelle is the more French spelling, so you'd expect it to pronounced differently with the stress on the Belle, so AnnaBELLE.
