Help[Opinions] Annabel
in reply to a message by Lily
I much prefer Annabel, and I really like it. Annabelle and Annabella are too frilly. Although if I'm in a frilly mood, then Annabelle is alright. I don't like the rhythm of Annabella very much either.
I pronounce Annabel and Annabelle as AN-ə-bel, and Annabella is AN-ə-BEL-ə.
Annabel is still a tad frilly, but more grounded than Annabelle or Annabella. I'd imagine an Annabel to be sweet and smart and an Annabelle to be more ditzy. Annabella has a more ethnic sound to it.
I'm very surprised that Annabelle isn't entirely more popular than it is. I think it will continue to rise in the coming years. I don't know anyone with any version of those names.
I don't think anyone will automatically shorten the name, at least to the point that it's an issue. I think this about any name that has an obvious nickname. People will call the kid the way the kid is introduced.
