Re: Annabella

I think it's a bit much.
I love Annabel, it is sweet and simple. Annabelle is already too frilly for my tastes.
Annabel to me is sweet and feminine in a nice way, like a bright summer's day, clean cotton. Annabelle is overly sweet, like a pink cake with cream and sugary sprinkles and marshmallows on top. Annabella is even sweeter and frillier, so sweet it makes you feel sick.
No offense, it is my no means a bad name and I wouldn't mind meeting an Annabella. But it is just too much. The Portuguese Anabela seems less frilly but would also feel misspelled too many people.
In general I feel like Annabelle, Isabella and other -belle/-bella names are already starting to become dated. I also find Bella so tired and unattractive as a nickname.
