Hello all,
I am currently 14 weeks pregnant with my second baby girl. In 2012 I gave birth to my first child and daughter. I had her name picked out six years before I even met my husband, so it was a completely stress free experience to name her. (Thankfully my husband loved the name too!) we named her [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] is my middle name and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] was the name I had fallen in love with years before having my daughter. I was a pre k teacher before getting married and my favorite student was named [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and that was where this name came from. Anyway, on to my dilemma. We had a name chosen for this baby if it would have been a boy, [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], but we are having a girl and cannot agree on a name. One name I thought of that I am not at all sure about is [name_f]Anabelle[/name_f]. I like that it is a beautiful name that is similar to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], but with different ending sounds. But I’m not sure about it like I was so sure about [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. I just didn’t have another girl name that meant so much to me like [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. Other names I have thought of are [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], Lileth, [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Layla[/name_f], [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] (my husband doesn’t like), Leilanna, [name_f]Gwendaline[/name_f] (my husband also doesn’t like), [name_f]Gwenith[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Ariella[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]/[name_f]Khloe[/name_f], [name_f]Elianna[/name_f] (pronounced Ee-lee-awna). Possible middle name combos - [name_f]Anabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Raine[/name_f], [name_f]Anabella[/name_f] [name_u]Raye[/name_u], [name_f]Gwendaline[/name_f] [name_f]Star[/name_f], Lileth [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Star[/name_f]… Also, it may be helpful to note that my four year old really likes [name_f]Anabelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Every[/name_f] name I mention to her she says, “yeah mom, I like it, but I really like [name_f]Anabelle[/name_f].” I am drawn to very beautiful sounding names that sound like they have history behind them if that makes sense. I am very open to ideas, so please please, if you have ideas, suggestions, and opinions I would like to hear them. Thanks in advance!!
I like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] (that spelling)
Personaly I think [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] are too close. They both have [name_f]Belle[/name_f] in.
There are loads of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] names you could use instead, if you don’t like just [name_f]Anna[/name_f]:
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastacia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Annora[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]
I know a sibset of [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] that sound lovely together too 
I agree, [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] is too close. I think it would be easy to get them mixed up.
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]/[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Emiliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Johannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Katarina[/name_f]
[name_f]Katrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Vivianna[/name_f]/[name_f]Viviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Michaela[/name_f]
[name_f]Melina[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]

[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Christiana[/name_f]
From your list I really love [name_f]Gwenith[/name_f]! It’s got great history and is just so rarely heard in this form! (Generally just hear Gwens as full name). Would you consider [name_f]Gwenith[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]? I love, its so sweet sounding, but confident as well.
Also, you having [name_f]Star[/name_f] as a middle name reminded me of the name [name_f]Starling[/name_f]! [name_f]Starling[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Starling[/name_f] [name_f]Gwenith[/name_f] just takes my heart!
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps! Good luck and congrats!
I think [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] would make a great middle name!! What about just [name_f]Anna[/name_f]? [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] as like a fun nickname?
[name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Eileen[/name_f]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]

[name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Heather[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_m]Way[/name_m] too close. I think [name_f]Layla[/name_f] fits with [name_f]Isabella[/name_f].
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] is so beautiful! And the other names you’ve picked out are gorgeous, as well. Unfortunately, I’m thinking [name_f]Anabelle[/name_f] is a tad too close to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] (even though I love [name_f]Anabelle[/name_f]).
But don’t worry, there are a ton of awesome names out there that will go with [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and match your style.
Here are my suggestions:
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & Ameliana
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Angelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Annalissa[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Aubrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Carissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Coralina[/name_f] (The [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-Na pronunciation sounds best to me)
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Evangelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Julissa[/name_f]* (either Ju-LISS-a or Ju-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-Sa)
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Makaela[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Marissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Natalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & Nikolina*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Katarina[/name_f]/[name_f]Katalina[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]*
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Scarlette[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]*
They all sound so cute to me, but I starred the ones I really, really like. I would be ecstatic to see any of these names on sisters, though! I hope this helps you out at all =]
Congratulations on another baby girl!
I would find [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] too similar to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] to use as first name and would maybe consider using it as a middle option instead. I do love [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] though - very pretty and vintage feeling! Have you considered [name_f]Annalise[/name_f]? I think it offers a lot of the same qualities as [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] but without being too similar a name it [name_f]Isabella[/name_f].
I love the suggestion of [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Annalise[/name_f]. I also like the suggestion [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] but not as much. From your list, my favorite is [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Lilliana[/name_f] ([name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Ana[/name_f]) for short - I really like those together! I think [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] is much too similar to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. I’ll add [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Isabella[/name_f].
I agree that [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]… Both lovely names but not quite right as a sibset.
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and…

I love love love [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]! I do understand why other people have said [name_f]Anabelle[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] but I think it could work depending on what nicknames both girls have. Suggestions:
