Does anyone have a gut feeling about the name Annabelle? It means "grace" and "beauty."

When you hear the name, what feelings does it evoke? Just curious.

I love the name Annabelle (but I'd spell it Anabel, less fluffy that way, to me) Annabelle is very feminine, and feels crisp & clear, sort of like a bell ringing (if that makes any sense). It's a lovely, lovely name, to me.

Honestly, I think of Annabelle Lee by Edgar Allan Poe. I don't know why cuz I'm not really in to literature or anything. I do think it's a pretty name though :)

I think Annabelle is very pretty, though I prefer the simpler Annabel spelling.

Actually, when I was pregnant with my first daughter, my name for a girl throughout the entire pregnancy was Annabelle. I really thought it was such a pretty name. Throughout the pregnancy I would tell people that her name was going to be Annabelle if it was a girl and I would always get such a horrible reaction.......it was unbelievable. At first I didn't care becasue I liked it and that was all that mattered, but after a few months it really started to bother me. In the end when she was born, my gut told me NO! So I named her Jayden, and when I think back on it, am really glad I went with Jayden.

But really, the bottom line is that I did like the name, whether or not others did. I think it is very feminine and sooooo pretty! My NN was going to be Belle. Actually, that was the main reason i was going to call her that. I love Belle!

Hope this helps...............

I absolutely love Annabelle. I do think of the kid on Freaky Friday, but she's a teen and really, how will anyone avoid having a difficult teen? I love it. It's so pretty, and can grow up well, and there are so many lovely short names that can be used.
