[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] is charming and elegant - I like it and this spelling is sleeker and sharper. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] feels like a solid option if she doesn’t want anything to ‘girly’ but there are so many Isabelles, Belles and Annies around that I don’t think [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] would sound frilly or unprofessional

Thank you so much! I failed to consider the similarity to other popular girls names, so it could blend in :slight_smile:

I genuinely had to go and check the popularity stats because [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] feels like a completely normal, safe, popular girls name to me but it’s actually wayyy down the charts! How funny. I guess there were quite a few at my school and I also used to babysit an [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] (with sibs Elizab3th and B3n). Her parents called her Bells which I thought was sweet.

I don’t think it’s too frilly. It’s very Scottish. Nice :blush:

I love Annabel! It doesn’t feel at all frilly to me, just a solid, feminine classic.

I don’t classify [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] as frilly, but honestly I think it’s because of association. I like the versatility of [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] and the nickname potential [name_f]Anna[/name_f] / [name_f]Annie[/name_f] / Bell/ [name_f]Bella[/name_f]

I’m obsessed with [name_f]Annie[/name_f] so I’m a fan of pretty much all of the long forms for it. [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] is very pretty and sweet although I slightly prefer the [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] spelling. Its definitely one of the frillier [name_u]Anne[/name_u] names but I don’t think it’s too much to use and the [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] spelling does make it feel a bit less frilly.

[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] is so beautiful :star_struck:

I think it’s very streamlined and sturdy. [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] is a bit frilly, [name_f]Annabella[/name_f] is very frilly, but [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] isn’t.

I love the name! Feels classic, though I’ve never met anyone with the name (spelled like that—I know only one with the double L double E).

I don’t think it’s frilly. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is very classic and international, and [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is very old fashioned I personally think [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] looks prettier, but more “frilly” than [name_f]Annabel[/name_f].
