Annabel or Jasmine?

[MiracleBaby2022]

What do you prefer:

Annabel or Jasmine?

Annabel sounds very girly and pink. Jasmine not so much.

Op do you know there is a range of Baby Annabel dolls?

@Easterbunnyiswindowshopping I do, yes

Jasmine

Annabel always sounds a bit little girlish. I really dislike the Annabelle spelling.

Prefer Christabel.

I would pick Jasmine - it does have a bit of a dated 90s feel to it, a la Destiny, but that might be fading away now.

Annabel(le) has always struck me as a slightly annoying MC name (sorry!)

Both fine.

But Annabel is much nicer than Annabelle, which has the emphasis on the BELLE. Way too frilly too imo.

Annabel.

Jasmine.
Less 'wet' and dolly-like.

Annabel but Jasmine is ok. Reminds me of Rice though!

I like both. I don't know which I'd pick - Annabel is lovely (and I've never taught a horrible Annabel!) but Jasmine sounds fresher. I asked dh and he said Jasmine is "too disney" so make of that what you will

@JazzyBBG

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 ;)

Annabel is a really cute name for a cat, I might steal it for the kitten we are getting soon :)

My dd us called Annabelle so I'm biased towards that. We chose this spelling bc I feel the Annabel spelling looks unfinished abs because belle means pretty in French. It's such a pretty, elegant name and I've only ever come across 2 other teenage Annabel(le)s. All that said, Jasmine is a very pretty name too

Jasmine

But quite like Annabel

Annabel is a lovely name, timeless.

Jasmine.

Annabels was a sloany nightclub wasn't it? It also sounds like the baby doll, so I can't take it seriously for an adult.

How about Anna?

Love Jasmine - was on my girls list

annabelle 100%

I like Annabel, but Jasmine is pretty too.

Thank you all for your opinions! I'm still really struggling and pondering other options. I'm 34 weeks pregnant now so not got too much time left to decide!

Annabel often gets misspelled - Anabell, Annabell, Annabelle, Annabel etc

Both lovely names although I think the Annabelle spelling is too frilly and prefer Annabel. No spelling issues with Jasmine.

Jasmine

Jasmine for me. Anabel sounds a bit too girly/frilly to my ears.

I love both names but Annabel is more timeless.
