I love
Annabel. I prefer it to
Annabelle. I'm guessing it's fallen because -belle/a names are going to be passe soon. I don't know.
I would choose
Anna or
Susannah over
Annabel purely because I wouldn't want to give a potential child a name that would be dated so quickly like
Annabel probably will, unfortunately. But I still adore it. If it weren't a trend, it'd definitely be my top name.
Strangely, I actually know two baby Annabelles born in the past half a year or so. Before that I didn't know any.
Lily Annabel is a bit too sweet for me, though. :)
