which is better for our baby girl due in October?
Annabel or Martha?
We have two boys already Ben and Oliver

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.
