[Opinions] Re: Annabel(le)
I don't mind Annabel. I'd be much more likely to use Anne, in fact I have, because it's a family name, but I prefer Annabel to Anita and Annette and also to Anna. I find its etymology delightfully bizarre; however, that makes me dislike Annabelle for adding fake French to the already confused mix.

I wonder who started using Annabelle. Maybe it was the French themselves, or English aristocracy trying to look cultured.
