I like Eleanor the best and then Isabel

Lurking9to5 · 09/03/2022 23:03

Annabel or Elizabeth.
Like Ellen a lot.

Merrymouse · 09/03/2022 23:03

Eleanor.

CarbonelCat · 09/03/2022 23:05

Eleanor then
Isabel then
Elizabeth

Not Annabel

RichardsGear · 09/03/2022 23:06

Elizabeth or Isabel, but I prefer Isobel spelling.

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/03/2022 23:22

Elizabeth - just because they are all very popular but Elizabeth has so many diminutives she’ll find one she likes that will differentiate her from the other Ones

Annabel. Isabel is lovely but very popular recently. Eleanor is nice but I only like it pronounced ELL-en-a not EL-la-NOR. Elizabeth sounds rather stuffy to me.

Mackmama · 10/03/2022 00:08

Elizabeth and Isabel are my two favourite girls names. Love Isabel shortened to Isa rather than Izzy.

Wintersbone · 10/03/2022 09:03

Elizabeth. It's such a classic, strong name, it works in lots of languages and has great diminutives.

SallyWD · 10/03/2022 09:09

I really like them all. Sometimes it helps to see the baby. We had 2 names for my son. We preferred one and started calling him that before he was born. When he arrived we decided it didn't suit him - but the 2nd choice name was perfect for him!

FayCarew · 10/03/2022 09:36

Elizabeth

Never really liked Eleanor.
Isabel, if you include Isabelle and Isabella, is overused.
Annabel is a bit too frilly.

All are ok, but Elizabeth is by far my favourite

Thedogshow · 10/03/2022 09:39

Really love Elizabeth and Eleanor

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 10/03/2022 09:43

I love Eleanor but was put of by Ellie nickname (no reason just personal preference)
Elizabeth is name you can't put a date to, its a constant.
Annabel and Isabel are perfectly pleasant and popular. I don't see this a disadvantage but I know others do.

Rainbowqueeen · 10/03/2022 09:43

Elizabeth or Eleanor.
Annabel is third in my ranking
Hate Izzy as a NN and Isobel is way too popular for me

JazzyBBG · 10/03/2022 13:59

Annabel for me.

Second Elena rather than Eleanor.

Elizabeth is lovely but can't bear Liz!

Isabel - is nice but I find the "is" sound harsh.

Agree with this

Elizabeth

sadpapercourtesan · 10/03/2022 14:02

They're all lovely. In order of preference, I'd choose Elizabeth, Annabel, Eleanor, Isabel.

toastofthetown · 10/03/2022 14:07

Elizabeth, but I prefer the Elisabeth spelling.

Mumofgirls2017 · 10/03/2022 14:07

All nice, Annabel is my favourite

Lilaclavenders · 10/03/2022 15:06

Elizabeth

user1493494961 · 10/03/2022 15:12

All lovely names, I would choose Eleanor.

looloo247 · 10/03/2022 15:15

Eleanor, then Elizabeth. Both classic and less popular (where I live anyway) than the other two

Longdistance · 10/03/2022 15:17

I have an 12yo Eleanor. I still love her name.

MissCarolina · 10/03/2022 16:03

Annabel is my favourite
