What do you think of Annabel? And would you spell it that way or Annabelle? Thanks!

It's not my favourite, but it is nice! I prefer Annabel.

It's pretty. I'd spell it Annabel, the other way is far too frilly for me.

Annabel, it’s quite frilly anyway, doesn’t need any extras. It’s quite nice.

user1492757084 · 02/04/2023 03:23

I prefer Annabel.

Love Annabel

SkyeBlue28 · 02/04/2023 21:04

I love it. I would spell it Annabel.

midsomermurderess · 02/04/2023 21:19

it’s ok, but a bit pony club. The rumour is the Sarah Ferguson wanted to use it for Beatrice but was told it just wouldn’t do.

I prefer Annabelle, spelling wise. Annabel looks unfinished.

Conversely, I think Isabelle looks overly fussy and Isabel is the preferable spelling.

I like it spelled Annabel! On my middle name list :)

Twoinapod · 03/04/2023 20:01

I’d spell it Annabelle, it’s the only way I’ve ever seen it written. Also Annabel looks unfinished and my phone keeps trying to autocorrect to Annabelle so I’m assuming that’s the more common spelling. It’s a nice name.

My daughter is Annabel. When I looked it up that’s the traditional way to spell it so I went with that. It’s a lovely name, obviously. And she wasn’t into pony club either!

Tellmethespoiler · 03/04/2023 21:00

Annabel is the usual spelling in the U.K. It’s a nice name. Annabelle, unless you are French, isn’t very classy.

fairycupcakes · 03/04/2023 22:09

Annabel

DuchessOfSausage · 04/04/2023 11:36

Annabel is ok, Annabelle is too frilly and will get said by some as Anna Bell.
I prefer Anna or Ann(ie)

ourflagmeansdeath · 04/04/2023 19:40

Love either spelling but Annabel.

WhatFreshHeckle · 04/04/2023 19:48

I like it, and know a few, but not hundreds. I prefer the Annabel spelling

This! Annabel is classy and pronounced Annabel.

Annabelle is French and pronounced AnnaBELLE. If you're not French it's indeed very 'unclassy' Blush

IDontWantToBeAPie · 05/04/2023 15:36

Reminds me of a cow (Annabels Wish) but I get that might just be me

Bienemajas · 05/04/2023 15:37

But beware that many people mis-spell it as Anabel, Anabell, Annabell etc
