Annabel is lovely, and this is my favorite spelling of the name.

I agree with a pp about Annabel making me think of a cow.

I like Callie better than Annabel


I do not like the Calleigh spelling - there's a Calleigh with that spelling on CSI Miami

First, you may not like greys but Callie is one of the most liked characters on that show so I dont think the name would have any sort of negative......
I think the Caleigh looks beautiful written but could be confusing....I am a fan though!!
My only beef with annabel is that it is often a cows name.......which could be bad if your daughter goes through a chubby stage as many girls do..............Isnt it awful that we have to think of all this when naming our babies??? But the shortened is cute Ann and Annie will always be great classics

Welcome! It sounds like from your comments you are leaning towards Annabel. Annabel June is lovely! Callie is not a name that most would associate with Grays. I loved the suggestion of Calla June, nn Callie (CJ is just as fun as AJ in my book :)). While I normally think that Caroline, nn Callie is sweet, when paired with June, it sounds like the title of a novel/movie.

Good luck, it sounds like you are making great progress!
