I think we're getting closer to a name. DH suggested using whatever name we don't pick as the MN, but I don't think that would flow as well as Marie. What do you think?[Poll]
Of the two names as you have them, I'd go with Annabelle. I think Katie is an adorable nickame, but I don't think it will sound good on a professional woman. I'd give her Kate or Katherine/Kathryn/Kathleen as a name and nn her Katie, personally.

Thanks for the feeback ladies. I'm not a huge fan of Katherine, but love Katie and I agree that she would need a name that's a little more professional when she grows up. So, Kate may be an option for us or we'll stick with Annabelle (which I think is DH's favorite). Plus I like all the cute nicknames we can give her when she's little with the name Annabelle (Annie, Annabug, Belle, etc.).

I voted for Katie Marie since its my BFF's name. =o)
Although she is actually Katherine Marie, but goes by Katie

Annabelle Marie.
Katie is cute but I dont see it translating into professional life. I would prefer Katherine to Katie.
But, Annabelle is REALLY cute.
Marie as a middle name has been done to death. I actually think I hate it.
I think Annabelle Kate sounds adorable, way better than Marie. Or Kate Annabelle, either way.
I pick Katie!
My niece is named Katie, just Katie and she is fourteen and has never had a problem with it! She is super smart and athletic too! Great name! GL!
If you want to use both names I would go with Annabelle Kate
