I prefer Annabel (although would spell Annabelle)

ApolloandDaphne · 12/02/2022 21:24

I know both an Annabel and a Jasmine. The Jasmine is doing better in life if that is any help.

TotoAnnihiliation · 12/02/2022 21:24

Both of these are on my list.

MartinMartinMarti · 12/02/2022 21:25

Jasmine.

I know too many slightly posh, slightly thick stroppy teenage Annabelles.

Natassia91 · 12/02/2022 21:28

I prefer Annabel. I actually know a girl with the name, but she spells it Annabelle. I always liked the sound of it.

One is really boring, and it's not Jasmine Wink

MiracleBaby2022 · 12/02/2022 21:31

That's interesting already that a few of you prefer Annabelle spelt with -belle. We preferred this spelling until I read on Mumsnet that most people seemed to think it was too "frilly" and that the classic British spelling was Annabel... I'm just confused now. I'm not British so -belle looks nice to me - especially as we're thinking "Bella" as nickname

I like them both - very pretty

KylieCharlene · 12/02/2022 21:34

I love Annabelle.
I love Anna and Belle so wouldn't know which to use for a nicknameGrin.
I also like Jasmine but don't like Jaz.

ThePennyJustDropped · 12/02/2022 21:35

Jasmine

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 12/02/2022 21:36

Jasmine.

LemonViolet · 12/02/2022 21:36

Jasmine is ‘my’ girls name. Beautiful name, scent, flower. Jasmine FTW!

Easterbunnyiswindowshopping · 12/02/2022 21:37

Jasmine.

TabithaHazel · 12/02/2022 21:43

Jasmine is lovely. Annabel is quite an 80s name.

SallyWD · 12/02/2022 22:04

I love Annabel. Jasmine is OK.

sadpapercourtesan · 12/02/2022 22:06

Annabel

GlamGiraffe · 12/02/2022 22:09

Annabel. Its a pretty and proper name.
I dont really like Jasmine, i think hearing teens shouting 'Jaz' to their friends when they are walking down the street is a real put off for me personally.

alexdgr8 · 12/02/2022 22:10

annabel is more classy.
but jasmine ok too.
makes a change from the usual micky-mouse names on here.
good luck.

DramaAlpaca · 12/02/2022 22:11

Jasmine is my favourite of the two.

Annabel is nice as well. I'm glad you're considering that spelling, Annabelle is way too fussy.

WaitinginVain · 12/02/2022 22:22

Jasmine.

WeasilyPleased · 12/02/2022 22:49

Jasmine without a shadow of a doubt. Who wants a creepy doll as a namesake?

GlamourSpider · 12/02/2022 22:50

Jasmine

sadpapercourtesan · 12/02/2022 22:50

Jasmine always ends up shortened to Jazz, which is trashy imo.

DoodleBelle · 12/02/2022 22:56

Annabel is more elegant sounding

JazzyBBG · 12/02/2022 23:09

I have one of each so would consider myself an expert on this subject - albeit one is a cat - I will let you figure out which one.
And Annabel is the correct British spelling.
Great names ;)
