I like the Annabel spelling myself - don't mind the Annabelle but really not keen on Anabel - looks a bit incomplete to me

I know one (spelt Annabelle I think) aged 8

So Annabel, possibly Annabelle then....

we were going to go for Violet but DH changed his mind and Annabel was next on the list. Maybe Annabel/le Violet?

Annabel Juliet is much nicer! Violet is nice in itself, but v like Violent.

Juliet? Good God no! You did choose the spelling though, so one out of two isn't bad.....

Annabel- simple and classic.

Maggie - sorry, no, I don't know any little Jennifers!

Annabelle Juliet seems a bit of a mouthful? Not sure what goes with it better, though. Violet is pretty.

oops hadn't finished typing

annabel is my preference

annabelle is too froufrou, 'trying to hard' to be different for my taste

anabelle seems more continental - i would guess russian, french parentage?

I don't know many annabels young or old but it is a very familiar name of good stock! go for it
