Help[Opinions] Re: Annabel or Annabella?
in reply to a message by Lily
Annabel is my favourite, and I'd pronounce it in the English way. I like it a lot.
Annabelle looks French to me so I'd probably automatically give it the French pronunciation, and I'd probably assume Annabella was Italian so I'd say ahn for it too, as I've never met an English one. It's too long and frilly for me in English, but it's not that bad.
I know an English Annabel who's twenty-something, and is called Anna for short, and a French Annabelle who's about 30 and goes by Nana. I think people would probably call her whatever you did, though, and Belle / Bella works fine.
