Help[Opinions] Re: Annabella
in reply to a message by Lily
Annabella is fussy in an 18th century way. Annabelle is fussy in a 21st century way, and could well tag along after Isabelle (which I suspect is more widely used than Isabella, though i haven't got good stats).
Annabel is the oldest, most traditional and, to my eyes, most usable of them all. I would love to see little Annabels waddling around, but not the other two, actually.
Bella. There are plenty in my family tree from the end of the 19th century, but in today's world I know lots of pet dogs called Bella and, so far, only one human born after 1950.
Ann(e) or Annie seems more likely as a nn. And if you're worried about that, maybe consider using it as a mn: Catherine Annabella, perhaps?
