[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is wonderful.
I voted for [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], but next to [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] might match better.

I like the simplicity and sophistication of [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], especially next to [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] in sister’s middle name.

I have a slight preference for [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], but I think both spellings look nice and will be used. I would suggest looking how both spellings look with the surname, and with the middle name, to decide which spelling to use, if you aren’t set on one. That is what my parents did with the spelling of my name.

I love how [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] looks. I voted for [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] because of the [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] spelling in her sister’s name, but now that I think about it, I don’t think that matters much.

[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] was my vote, for the -bel spelling I prefer [name_f]Anabel[/name_f]

this. [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Anabel[/name_f], but [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] seems weirdly in-between

I prefer [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]; it looks more complete to me.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] & [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] are great for sisters. I like both spellings fine, but I voted for [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. I feel like it gives you more nn options. If you do [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], the nn ‘[name_f]Belle[/name_f]’ doesn’t come as naturally.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

I much prefer [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]. [name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], perfect sibling set.

Thank you for the thoughts everyone, they are still pretty equally tied. [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] has the slight edge for us right now, but I think we will work out middles and see what works best.

It was good to receive feedback that the name works well as a sister for [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] too!

My favourite is [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]!
