Middle name for Annabelle

Annabelle is one of our top choices for a girl. But we are struggling with a middle name. We have a short, one syllable surname. What about...

Annabelle Rose
Annabelle Emily

Any other ideas? Thank you Smile

Not keen in Annabelle Emily. Doesn't seem to flow very well.
Annabelle Rose is nice.
I really like Annabelle Eve.

Would personally spell Annabel

Good luck Smile

Rose is beautiful to use after, sounds so classy Annabelle Rose 100%

My first thought was Iris :)

I'm reading these and I'm still on the Annabelle Emilia (which I spelt incorrectly initially 😬). It's not fussy. It uses the front part of the mouth - feels nice to say!

I'm standing by Emilia (but not Emily, that doesn't work!).

Dawn

I'm going to disagree- it's very fussy, particularly paired with Annabelle.

Annabelle Hope

Annabelle Mia

Thanks everyone. It looks like Annabelle Emily isn't too popular.

We like Annabelle Rose but agree that Rose is often seen as a "filler" which puts us off a bit.

I like Annabelle Charlotte the most from your suggestions

Annabel Rosemary ?

Saw Annabelle, Emily and Rose all together and automatically thought of horror movies...

I love Edgar Allen Poe's poem, Annabel Lee.

Different spelling, obviously, but whenever I think of Annabelle/Annabel, I think of that. Also, Annabel Lee was used in the old Clint Eastwood movie, "Play Misty for me."

Mumofgirls2017 · 30/12/2021 15:34

Biased but my name is Annabelle Rose and I’ve always loved it and received compliments!

But she dies! Not a nice association.

'The wind came out of the cloud, chilling and killing my Annabel Lee'.

Annabel - a lovely classic name.

Annabelle is just not in the same class - frilly and OTT.

Any middle name would go with Annabel really as it’s both soft and girly but strong, with the bel ending.

Annabelle - anything too feminine looks really fussy, so you’d have to stick to a quite hard name not to make it look like a doll with massive ringlets type name!

Annabel Joy is lovely and would do for both spellings

Firebird83 · 30/12/2021 20:20

Annabel Flora

Before I opened thread

Annabelle Rose and Annabelle Grace were my initial thoughts.

Emily is too much of a mouthful.

Annabelle May
Annabelle Eve
Annabelle Paige

Mushypeasandchipstogo · 30/12/2021 20:32

Annabelle Grace sounds lovely.

SteppinOutwithMyBaby · 30/12/2021 20:37

@ThirdElephant Yes, I suppose Poe isn't known for his cheerfulness. Whilst I actively dislike sad books, I do love a good melancholy poem.

Although I must admit, I prefer "For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."

Still like the name Annabel Lee, and "Play misty for me."

I have an Annabelle, but with no middle name, felt it was long enough without.
