Probably a boring thread but which of these sounds best? I'm not sure which is the 'correct spelling'

Annabel

FfionFlorist · 05/06/2019 17:33

Annabel, dislike all other alternatives.

daisypond · 05/06/2019 17:36

Annabel, unless you are French.

Penny4Thoughts · 05/06/2019 17:39

Annabel definitely
Annabel is classic whereas Annabelle looks faddy to me

Wavyheaded · 05/06/2019 17:46

You can spell it either way. IMO Annabelle is so pretty.
Annabel is boring.

Peachbubble · 05/06/2019 17:52

I prefer Annabelle

lavenderblues · 05/06/2019 17:53

Annabel

Much more classy and less frilly.

NeverSayFreelance · 05/06/2019 17:57

Annabelle personally. I think Annabel looks a bit odd.

GlitterPixie · 05/06/2019 17:57

Annabel

hmsvictory · 05/06/2019 17:58

It's Annabel

Annabelle is surely a made up dolly name?

piginpastry · 05/06/2019 18:32

Definitely Annabel.

whizzpopbangalang · 05/06/2019 18:40

Annabelle - lovely name!

DameSylvieKrin · 05/06/2019 18:41

Annabel.
Belle is too frilly without adding anything.

lavenderblues · 05/06/2019 18:45

Annabel. Beautiful and classy!

Annabelle is the French spelling and pronounced AnnaBELLE. Its unnecessarily frilly in English.

tiramisu1 · 05/06/2019 18:47

Annabel in English!

Annabel. I prefer Anna.

daisypond · 05/06/2019 19:08

Yes, Annabel and Annabelle are pronounced differently.

TatianaLarina · 05/06/2019 20:30

Prefer Arabella or Christabel.

TatianaLarina · 05/06/2019 20:30

Annabel is very 80s - Juliet, Annabel, Fiona and Joanna.

roratone · 05/06/2019 20:31

Absolutely Annabelle - it looks gentle and graceful

tiramisu1 · 05/06/2019 20:37

Annabel 100% so much more classy and elegant.

I prefer the ANNAbel pronunciation too.

QueSera · 05/06/2019 20:37

Annabelle for me
