Annabelle is my fave.

---

:)

My cousins name is Annabelle Catherine, so I am a bit biased when it comes to spelling. I prefer that one myself- Annabel looks incomplete to me, but that's probably just because I'm so used to Annabelle. I think it's a lovely name, either spelling. Great nn potential too- my cousin mainly goes by Belles, but she gets Annie a fair bit too.

I like Amabel, but prefer Annabel(le), because I do think it would often be mistaken for Annabel(le) and because you lose the potenntial nn Annie, which is one of my favourite things about the name. I prn. it same way as you do.

I love/prefer Amabel, which I basically pronounce ahm-uh-bel.

I've never been able to like Annabel (although I definitely prefer this spelling). I can't put my finger on why, though.

Annabelle /nt/

Although I would love to see Amabel actually used, I have a feeling that people would take one look at it and confuse it with Annabel. Annabel and Annabelle are both nice spellings.

I defintely prefer Annabel.
Annabelle is pretty but perhaps too frilly.
Amabel looks like a snobby stiff version of Mabel - and I've no idea how to pronounce it. Annabel presents no such problems!

I thought Amabel was a typo when I first read your subject line!

Definetly Annabel. Amabel just looks like a mispelling...

I ONLY pronounce it Anuh-belle. I can't stand that pronunciation at all. It's an ok name, but I think Annabel / Anabel / Annabelle, etc. sounds too frilly. What about just Anna?

I prefer Annabel. Amabel souns like "a maple".

I like Annabel and Annabelle. Dislike Amabel.

Def. Amabel. Annabel is a tiny bit more "snobbish"-sounding...
