I liked this a long time ago, but lately have preferred
Annabel.
Annabel is getting really common, though and I've started to like
Amabel more and more again.
What I like about it:
- it doesn't have the nn
Anna (which is a nice name, but common)
- it doesn't have the nn
Annie (which I don't really like)
- I could still call her
Belle or
Bella occasionally
- it's uncommon
- it's a classic
- the meaning is lovely
what I'm worried about:
- it constantly being mistaken for
Annabel- it being misspelled (Amabelle, Amabell, ok same problem with
Annabel)
- it being pronounced ah-MAY-bel (like
Mabel with an
Ah in front of it)
Opinions?
Which is better
Amabel or
Annabel?
