Please help, I just found out it's a boy and I need the boy version of Annabel which was my chosen girl name. Any ideas?
(and don't say Sebastian because DH will say no).

Does it have to start with A? or do you mean with 3 syllables?

Maybe try this

What about this site www.nymbler.com

You click where it says 'type name of your choice' type in the name, and whther you want girl, boys or both and it comes up with similar types of names.

Some intersting ones for Annabel:-

Dominic
Julius
Jasper
Oliver
Leo

to name but a few...

Thanks walkingprimrose
(I have namechanged since this afternoon to try to keep my news 'secret').......
will have a look on that website.

And no in answer to lemontart it doesn't need to start with an A or have 3 syllables. I just meant that I really like the Annabel, Arabella type girls name and am struggling to find anything that I like for a boy so wondered if (using Annabel as a guide to the 'type' I go for) there were any good suggestions.......

oh god sorry, I will have my post deleted now, you must be cursing me, so, so sorry.

snickersnack · 12/12/2008 20:32

walkingprimrose that's spooky - when I type dd's name into that site, ds's name comes up as the first boy's choice. And they aren't particularly common names either of them. And I do pride myself on the fact they go very well together...

thisisyesterday · 12/12/2008 20:32

i was going to say Abel

LiffeyCanSpellGeansaiNollaig · 12/12/2008 20:32

I've asked for my first post to be deleted. Everybody else request that it be deleted too. they may do it more quickly.

VERY sorry, hadn't read the bit about 'secret'. Feel so bad now.
