Annabel or Martha?

both lovely

all go together fine

slightly prefer Martha, but that's only my preference

belgo · 25/07/2008 11:46

Not so keen on Annabel, but Martha is lovely and will go very well with Ben and Oliver.

orangehead · 25/07/2008 11:47

annabel

beanieb · 25/07/2008 11:47

martha is lovely. I have never liked Annabel.

MrsBadger · 25/07/2008 11:54

both lovely

bluenosesaint · 25/07/2008 12:00

Annabel definitely.

But then i'm one of the few minority on here that doesn't like Martha ...

NorthernLurker · 25/07/2008 12:03

Martha
annabel goes with nightclubs in my mind unfortunately as it is also very pretty

Alishanty · 25/07/2008 13:40

Prefer Martha here

falcon · 25/07/2008 13:44

I prefer Annabell, I'm not fond of Martha however taking into account the names of your other children I think Martha fits in best with those.

dizzydixies · 25/07/2008 13:44

martha

Songbird · 25/07/2008 13:45

Another vote for Martha, I think it's gorgeous.

Jivegirl · 25/07/2008 13:47

Annabel - very classy, without being pretentious. Could be shortened to Anna or Belle, equally lovely.
Martha - suggests downtrodden/hardworking to me, not my cup of tea.

SoupDragon · 25/07/2008 13:49

Um... neither.

HonoriaGlossop · 25/07/2008 14:22

Annabel is prettier and goes better with your boys names, IMO

nooka · 25/07/2008 14:29

Not amazingly keen on either of them. There is a possibility that Martha may be more popular at the moment with Doctor Who (although IMO the Martha in that is pants).

nickeldime · 25/07/2008 17:53

Martha's popularity has been declining for the past few decades, while Annabel is currently trendy:
Martha girl name
Annabel girl name
I would go for Annabel!

hw2004 · 25/07/2008 17:55

LOVE Annabel. In fact if this baby had been a girl she would have been Annabel or Harriet and i had a lot of positive feedback about Oliver. As it is i'm back to trawling boy's names!!

pointydog · 25/07/2008 17:56

Martha, deff. Do not liek Annabel

pointydog · 25/07/2008 17:57

even better, Anna

Pinkchampagne · 25/07/2008 17:58

Martha is my favourite

Collision · 25/07/2008 17:59

Annabel

Not keen on Martha and my two boys would have been Annabel!

cyteen · 25/07/2008 17:59

I'd go for Martha. Never liked Annabel and I don't think it sits as well with your boys' names.

benandoli · 26/07/2008 13:11

so really like martha now but not sure about a middle name.
