[Opinions] Re: Talitha and Annabel
in reply to a message by Lily
I think Talitha could grow on me, though I don't see myself using it. Annabel reminds me of one of my favourite poems (Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe), so I think it's very beautiful, but unfortunately, too popular for my liking at the moment.
I pronounce Talitha like TAL-i-tha (sounds like Tabitha, but with an "l"). Tali is a cute nickname!
If you're pronouncing Talitha as tah-LEE-ta, then, yes, I think it is too close to Lolita. However, the way I say it, they do not seem too close, imo.
Unfortunately, Annabel is far too popular for my liking. That being said, I do love it (because of the poem I mentioned before), and I would consider using it anyway! Personally, I automatically spell it Annabel, unless the person spells it for me or I know it is spelled differently.
I pronounce Annabel and Annabelle the same way, with emphasis on the first syllable.
