In need of a southern inspired middle name for Annabelle

Writers' Corner
1

It’s for a character. She has dark brown hair, brown eyes, very thin and petite. Has the potential to be a total knockout but slacks on her appearance. She comes from a very poor, small but supportive town in the south.

Any ideas? :slight_smile:

Thanks… [name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Susannah[/name] is lovely. [name]Rae[/name] would be perfect - but I forgot to mention that her last name is [name]Gray[/name]!!

Any other ideas?

[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Lee[/name] is an [name]Edgar[/name] [name]Allan[/name] [name]Poe[/name] name, my favorite poem but maybe too distracting of a reference to use.
Unisex and surnames are a solid southern tradition. [name]Sloane[/name], [name]Jones[/name], [name]Madison[/name], [name]Vaughn[/name],… French names give a bayou feel, [name]Annette[/name], [name]Simone[/name], [name]Marie[/name]…
I prefer a strong one syllable middle for [name]Annabel[/name].

[name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Augusta[/name], [name]Diane[/name], [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Helen[/name], [name]Frances[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Dorothy[/name], [name]Caroline[/name]

Lots of religious middles down here such as [name]Rebecca[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], [name]Mary[/name], [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Leah[/name], [name]Joanna[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Ruth[/name] for example.

Surnames for middles are also common - things like [name]Taylor[/name], [name]Scott[/name], [name]Carter[/name], [name]Campbell[/name], [name]Parker[/name], [name]Collins[/name], [name]Ellis[/name], [name]Sutton[/name], etc.
