Is this name made-up?

The name is
Annabeth
I love it, don’t like anything else but it has the red dots underneath when you type it and the person I mentioned it to said it sounded ‘nice but made up’

Opinions?

Is there not an actress with this name?

Verily1 · 01/09/2019 22:43

All names are made up by someone.

It’s fine.

HappyHammy · 01/09/2019 22:44

how can it be made up? you can be called what you like, it sounds like a combination of Anna/Annabel and Elizabeth/Bethany. Maybe those names mean something to that person. I think it's unusual and pretty.

Lemoneeza · 01/09/2019 22:44

technically all names are made up. Annabeth is quite pretty.

Lucked · 01/09/2019 22:44

Very American south but not made up and personally I like it.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/09/2019 22:45

Well.. it's a combination of two conventional names, but is in use apparently :

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annabeth

It sounds ok to me.

CassianAndor · 01/09/2019 22:45

Annabeth Gish, American actress.

I daresay it was made up at some point.

RedRec · 01/09/2019 22:47

It is a real name, although a mixture of Anna and Elizabeth.
Nice, if a bit Little House on the Prairie.

Character in Percy Jackson?

User478 · 01/09/2019 22:48

It's one of the main characters from the Percy Jackson books/films, but she's a goodie.

Cornishmum00 · 01/09/2019 22:49

All names are made up, if you love it use it. I think its nice

I agree it sounds very American south, it’s not to my taste but it’s nice enough. I definitely wouldn’t think anything critical if I met a child with this name.

Sparklysunflower · 01/09/2019 23:11

Every single name was once 'made up'!

Annabeth is easy to say and spell, so if you love it, why not?!

Morado · 01/09/2019 23:12

I really don't like it... I really dislike Beth though! Anna is okay though and I imagine it'd get shortened to that anyway.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 01/09/2019 23:14

It looks nice written but sounding it out in my mind it reminds me of a lisp and i dont know why.

Yeahsurewhatever · 01/09/2019 23:15

I have an unusual name and people always used to say
Is that made up???
ALL NAMES ARE MADE UP

As it is, Anna Beth is super 90s and a bit boring in my opinion, you can put it together as one name, but it's really just two blah names.
But If you love it who cares, someone's always going to disagree with you, you do you.

MrsEricBana · 01/09/2019 23:15

Yep, syring female character in Percy Jackson. All good!

MrsEricBana · 01/09/2019 23:16

STRONG

DramaAlpaca · 01/09/2019 23:16

I like the Anna bit, but not Beth. So no, Annabeth is not for me.

MommaJP · 01/09/2019 23:39

People call their children all sorts
"Stormy"
"North west"
"Trafford"

I've heard all sorts.
It sounds pretty and if you like it 😁

Shadow1234 · 02/09/2019 00:56

Don't mind Anna but dont like Beth

TillyTheTiger · 02/09/2019 04:44

There's a character called Annabeth in The West Wing.
I like it and think it's really pretty.

Astronica · 02/09/2019 04:51

People have been combining popular names like Anne, Mary, Elizabeth for ever - eg Annemarie, Maryanne, Anneliese. Annabeth is a nice name and I think you can use it with confidence.

mathanxiety · 02/09/2019 04:55

I like it. I know an Annarose and like that too.
