HelpRe: Annabel
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like Annabel ... on paper. It's sweet, without being prissy or childish.
I agree with you about Annabelle, though, and that ruins Annabel for me. Because they sound the same, and in real life, names are mostly spoken. When I can't distinguish them, my feeling that Annabelle is bratty and prissy overwhelms the appeal of Annabel.
Annabel matches best with more antique-style names like Eleanor, May, Lily.
A fictional sibset: Annabel Mariah and Eleanor Rebecca.
But my favorite of the names here is Isla, so if we had two girls together, and you called one Annabel, I'd call the other Isla. It wouldn't matter to me that they don't "match." Annabel Darcy and Isla Gwenaelle.
