Annabelle versus Juliette

[Suzy3637]

Hello, I have a son and daughter already named Ethan and Penelope and was wondering which girl name goes best with them as a little sister. We are deciding between Juliette and Annabelle. Thanks

Julliette for me, although I prefer Juliet. Annabel and Annabelle are everywhere at the moment, I know a baby Annabel and a baby Annabelle.

DD was very nearly Juliet, can't remember why we didn't go with it in the end. Still love that name.

I do like Annabel but I also know quite a few.

Annabelle for sure, as long as you are happy with Anna/Annie/Belle abbreviations.

Just look at how it all ended for Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, that alone puts me off the name!

How about Julietta? Think I prefer that and Ettie is a lovely abbreviation.....

Names don't have to 'go'. My favourite would be Juliette.

I like Juliette best but prefer it spelt Juliet

I dont know why but ive always really disliked the name Annabelle

With those spellings I'd go for Juliette, though I prefer the spelling and slightly different pronunciation of Juliet.

I like Annabel but the Annabelle spelling is too fussy for me.

Juliet is gorgeous (spelt like this - as unless you live in a French speaking country Juliette will likely be constantly misspelt). Annabel/Annabelle is okay, but there are a lot of similar names popular at the moment (Anna, Bella, Isabelle, Arabella etc) which means it blends into others a bit.

Juliette is so lovely. Some people are advising Juliet over Juliette but be aware that these names aren't always pronounced in the same way.

Juliet - JOOL-iet,
Juliette - Julie-ETTE

I hope that makes sense!

Annabelle I think suits a porcelain doll but isn't a patch on Juliette.

Juliet - JOOL-iet,
Juliette - Julie-ETTE
I've never heard them be distinguished in this way. They're both pronounced as per the second one.

Both beautiful. I prefer Annabel, just because it's a classic. But Juliet is lovely ( or Juliette. Both pronounced the same to me ??!!)

I like the flow of Penelope and Annabel more than Penelope and Juliette.

I much prefer Juliet and Annabel.
They both work well with your other kids' names, so I can't distinguish them on that basis.
I love both names (but not spelt your way) and it would depend on whether they will go by nicknames - ie I prefer Annie over Jules.

Not keen on either of your spellings, they’re a bit too frilly

But much prefer Juliet to Annabel

Juliet - JOOL-iet,
Juliette - Julie-ETTE

This is how I hear them too. If you hear both as Julie-ETTE, do you say Julia as Julie-AH?

@GreyhoundG1rl

Juliet - JOOL-iet, Juliette - Julie-ETTE I've never heard them be distinguished in this way. They're both pronounced as per the second one.

Not by everyone.

Prefer the spelling Juliet

Juliet definitely.

I know a Juliet and a Juliette and both pronounce their names the same way - Julie-et.

I like Juliette

I love both but only the simple spellings so Annabel or Juliet. They look frilly the other way.

Juliet - JOOL-iet,
Juliette - Julie-ETTE

Annabel- ANNA-bel
Annabelle - Ana-BELLE

Same with Isabel and Isabelle.

In English I much prefer Juliet, Annabel and Isabel.

Juliette.

Juliette a million times over, and yes that spelling. Juliet is too Romeo.

Juliette definitely. Annabelle makes me think of the doll. Juliette puts me in mind of the little girl on the voice kids who told the judges that she was 'Julliette with 2 Ls and 2 Ts.'
