I like Annabel best. Annabelle looks too frilly and fussy and Anabel just looks wrong - like it should be pronounced a-naybul, with the last bit like Mabel.

I'm not a guy, but Annabel is the only spelling I like.
Anabel and Annabell look like typos and with Annabelle the extra le seem a bit pointless.

SemperIdem · 11/02/2019 16:22

I prefer the Annabel spelling.

CouldBeAnyoneReally · 11/02/2019 16:23

Anabel looks too muck like Anal at a glance imo.

Annabelle.

Annabel is really nice. Annabelle is unnecessarily frilly (plus wasn't there a horror film about a doll called Annabelle?). The others look a bit misspelled.

my full name is annabel but i have always been annie. i hate my name sounds so posh and not me. i'm annie and i love my name

goldengummybear · 11/02/2019 16:53

Anabel looks like something medical.

Annabel - looks best imho

Annabelle- looks too fussy even though the nickname Belle is appealing.

daisypond · 11/02/2019 17:04

Annabel.
Annabelle is to frilly - but OK if you're French.
Annabell is just odd. - the "bell" bit. The name has nothing to do with bells. It's from "belle" - beautiful - which then is anglicised to "bel".

daisypond · 11/02/2019 17:05

Too frilly, I mean. Definitely not "to".

Lamentations · 11/02/2019 17:17

Annabel. Beautiful name!

Peachbubble · 11/02/2019 17:47

Annabel

imanoldbattleaxe · 11/02/2019 17:52

Whichever way you spell it the poor child will spend her life having it mis spelled but I'd go with Annabel

confusedandcrazymother · 11/02/2019 18:55

Annabelle is my favourite

Needingwine · 11/02/2019 18:58

Another vote for annabel here. Think it’s the most classic spelling

Cookit · 11/02/2019 20:15

Annabel

Shadow1234 · 11/02/2019 22:00

Prfer Annabel

DramaAlpaca · 11/02/2019 22:04

Annabel is the only version I like.

Annabelle is too fussy & frilly with its unnecessary extra letters

Anabel & Annabell look like you don't know how to spell Annabel.

pampershuggies · 11/02/2019 22:18

I prefer Anabel actually and know of one spelled this way!

YouBoggleMyMind · 11/02/2019 22:24

Annabel Smile

questabellatreetop · 11/02/2019 22:28

Annabelle is just beautiful, I don't think it's too frilly.

But then my daughter is Isabella

SellFridges · 11/02/2019 22:31

The only one I know I spelled Anabelle.

SellFridges · 11/02/2019 22:32

Is spelled.

GlitterPixie · 11/02/2019 22:32

Annabel
