[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Winter[/name] arrived 10 days late on [name]July[/name] 19, 2013. We wanted to stay out of the top 100 but have a classic feminine name. [name]Annabel[/name] fit the bill and we chose the Scottish spelling (my name is also Scottish). We had no special reason for [name]Winter[/name], other than it popped up when we were looking for a two-syllabel middle name to go with her one syllabel last name. In fact she was born on the hottest day of the year so far, but we liked the poetic sound of [name]Annabel[/name] and [name]Winter[/name] together.
[name]Annabel[/name] means grace and loveable/lovely.
Perfect name [name]Annabel[/name] has always been the name I subconsciously choose in my head when “testing” middle names. And I just love [name]Winter[/name]!
I just had to say that I’ve been lurking on Nameberry for a while and finally have an account, so i just had to find this thread to tell you that this is my favorite birth announcement on the whole site! Such a fabulous name!! It just flows so perfectly. Great choice!
Very smart, feminine name choice simple yet flows. Enjoy these precious days with your beautiful little girl so many girls and boy/girl twins being born this year!
Thanks for everyone’s sweet comments! From some of your lists it seems we favor the same types of names… [name_f]Love[/name_f] seeing [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lilas[/name_f]. [name_f]One[/name_f] note for anyone that likes [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]… She’s only been around for 2 (amazing, wonderful) months and already is having her name misspelled very frequently ([name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]). And everyone has loved [name_u]Winter[/name_u] but wants us to have a significance for it
Already thinking of baby (name) #2… We’d keep our boy’s name but need a girl name in the wings that matches [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]…
@bonnie: [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is just stunning! I love the [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] spelling. What boy’s name do you have for #2?
Ideas for girls:
@kyemsma [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is my favorite but my husband doesn’t like it! I also love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinivere[/name_f] but he vetoed those as well. He’s considering [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], but middle name? We have a 1syllable last name.
@bonnie I love [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - too bad your husband doesn’t like them. I do love [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], so I could see these middle names with
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]:
