i really really like the way the name annabelle sounds. but i’m a trans guy so i can’t use it as a name anymore. are there any names that have a similar sound/vibe but are for boys? or unisex/gender neutral names would work as well
[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought would be [name_m]Abel[/name_m]!

Oooh, I like a challenge!
So first let’s think about what we know about [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]. It’s a Scottish name that means loving. The name sounds like a double barrel name which would make it a combination of [name_f]Anne[/name_f] meaning grace or [name_f]Belle[/name_f] meaning beauty. The name feels modern, but actually dates back to at least the 14th century. The name feels a little gothic light due to its connection to Edger [name_m]Allan[/name_m] [name_m]Poe[/name_m]. I also love this name by the way.

[name_m]Amyas[/name_m], because [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] comes from [name_f]Amabel[/name_f], and [name_f]Amy[/name_f] has the same meaning, and [name_m]Amyas[/name_m] is the male form of [name_f]Amy[/name_f]
Speaking of which a lot of names starting with Am mean love, like [name_f]Amara[/name_f], [name_f]Amata[/name_f], [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] & [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (from Mila)

Anaby is a surname which to me feels very unisex. Also if it still feels to feminine Arnaby is another alyernative surname
