Azalea vs Annabelle

I love Azalea while he loves Annabelle. My problems with Annabelle are strictly personal. My cousin's daughter's name is Isabella and goes by Bella. Admittedly I only see them once a year but we talk on facebook a lot. Wouldn't it be weird to have a Belle and a Bella? Maybe I'm over thinking it. Also I've always wanted to use my grandmother's middle name of Ann. Of course Annabelle Ann is out but could I consider Annabelle as honoring my grandma? And he dislikes Azalea because he thinks it is difficult to pronounce. I say dislike but really we both like both names, honestly we'd both be happy either way. Just looking for reasons for one to win out. TIA!

Re: Azalea vs Annabelle

  • I think Annabelle could totally honour grandma Ann.

  • I adore Azalea and don't perticularily like Annabelle.

  • I like Annabelle more and IMO your cousin's daughter doesn't really factor in. You don't see her very often and if your relationship is mostly on FB I don't see how it could get confusing.

  • I really thought Azalea would get more love so much for proving my name is most awesome. Good thing I love Annabelle too!

  • Azalea - it's at the top of our list. Annabelle is nice but i feel Belle/Bella is used a lot.

  • I don't think the cousin is a big issue, but I just don't care for Annabelle. I think Azalea is cute and uncommon (in a good way) and I don't think it's hard to pronounce.
