Never even considered this name before but something about it really appealed to me today. It seemed to be girly yet elegant. Everything I look for in a name.
What do you think of Annabel?
Would it go well with Noah and Jacob?
Which would you prefer? Annabel or Matilda? Thank you.

My little girl is Annabelle known as ‘orphan’ Annie 🙄 people love her name, I’m yet to have any comments about her being named after orphan.

I actually named her after The Parent Trap twins 😂 Couldn’t use Hallie so went for Annie. My other half prefers none nicknames so we worked backwards to Annabelle.

Both Matilda and Annabel are lovely and I don't think either one sounds better with your boys' names. Both are much better than Darcey. And Holly makes a lovely middle with both. Does one sound better with the surname?

I like Annabel but I think it’s become associated with horror films in recent years.

I love Matilda.

Annabel is nice but I prefer Matilda.

Going out on a limb I think Darcey Matilda or Holly Matilda are both less 'now'

I like Matilda. It always reminds me of the book by Roald Dahl which was one of my favourites when I was growing up.

• Matilda nn Tilly/Matty

But having said that, I prefer Annabelle even though it does remind me of the baby Annabel dolls lol.

An a bell (end)! Maybe a consideration when a teenager...I have the same issue with Isabel!

@mumofnoahandjacob have I got the right person or am I confused.... do you keep choosing new names and comparing them to Matilda? Please pick Matilda!! After the number of times you’ve found a new name only for Matilda to stay and the “new” name to be binned and replaced with another “new” name... I really think you’re missing the obvious here. It’s Matilda ❤️❤️ Perfect name

Ps. Holly is a great name!
Matilda Holly @mumofnoahandjacob
