Annabel

[wearesailingacrossthesea]

Surname is 🏀 (4 letters begins with B)

Does Annabel 🏀 sound okay together? Am worrying the bel and bal run into each other as you say it.
The other name on our shortlist is Matilda. Does Matilda 🏀 sound okay?
Of the two names Annabel and Matilda, which do you prefer and why?

And........ Merry Christmas all 🌲🎅

I love the name Annabel, but unfortunately, it doesn't really work with your surname.

Matilda sounds much better!

I don’t think Annabel works. Matilda is better.

If your surname is bell or ball then no

Anna the bell of the ball. No sorry op I don’t think it works.

Matilda Ball isn’t brilliant but it’s far from criticisable

I actually think either works and they’re both lovely names

Bella Ball? I'm not convinced on that I'll be honest. Matilda Ball is fine.

Annabel Ball is a bit odd, which is a shame because I love Annabel.

I really like Annabel but wouldn't use it with your surname. Matilda is also lovely and works better with the surname.

I love both names and think either works with your surname

Sorry but I don't think it works with your last name.

Well... probably the most famous Annabel is the one from the Poe poem, and when you really think about it, Annabel Lee sounds a lot like Anna Belly.

And yet so many people have thought it was a beautiful name and thousands have named their kids after it for 170 years.

So Annabel Sports-Equipment is also fine. Most people won’t even think about it, and those who do will probably think it’s really cute.

probably the most famous Annabel is the one from the Poe poem

Nah, it's the Baby Annabel doll. ;)

Baby Annabell is spelt with an extra L, so not the same name.
