HelpRe: Bella
in reply to a message by Lily
Bella is a lovely name in its own right. Of course it can also be a nn for Isabella, Annabella, etc.
I have no problem with it also being a nn for Annabel since nns are not scientifically bound by the formal name. Nns (to me) are the place to show affection, whimsy, creativity. Let your imaginaiton run wild with nns. They are as free as formal names are regimented. Personally I can see BuggiewoogiebugleboyofcompanyG as a nn for Annabel. So using Bella as the nn doesn't seem strange at all.
I like using Annabel (since that seems to be your favorite) as the formal name because (as you mention) it gives her options. So I vote for Annabel, nn Bella (or Dewdrop or Standswithfist or Anbo or Tulabug or . . . . )
