which baby girl name?

in Baby Names

We have narrowed it down to three names for our baby girl. 

Penelope (Penny)

Maisie (this is my husbands favorite, I know it is cutesy and may not age very well but such is true for a lot of little girl names)

Annabelle (this has always been our favorite but my husband isnt loving is as much lately)

    LOVE Penelope. It is cute, spunky and ages well.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

    I love Penelope. I do not like Maisie at all and can't imagine an adult woman with that name.

    Maisie, she can always go by May when she gets older.

    Penelope is the best

    Maisie- reminds me of the sour cream brand

    Annabelle- reminds me of the poem

    We were thinking of Maisie going by mae, especially with the 2 syllable middle and last name.  Annabelle would go by anna or nena and penelope penny.   Also maybe it is wishful thinking but with all the popularity of Ruby and Lily I guess I figured Maisie wasnt too cutesy and would kind of fit in as her generation grows.

    Penelope.

     I know a little girl IRL that is a Maisie though it it is very very sweet and fully suits her.  I think that no matter what, if you end up with a Maisie, that she will just be Maisie when she's older and no one will think anything of it.

    How do you pronounce Maisie?

    as rhymes with Daisy?  or like Macy?

    I know someone who named their daughter Margaret and her nickname is Maisie.  It works well, I think.

    Maisie isn't a bad nn but I don't like it at all as a standalone first name.

    I prefer Annabelle.

    Thanks, I was curious.  I have never heard of that name!  I think of all of your choices I would pick Penelope.

    I love all three names!

    I adore Maisie. Have you considered using it as a nickname for Mary? That is, if you're concerned about cutesiness. I think it's more old fashioned, and I like it.

    You should take all three names to the hospital and see who she is. You really can't go wrong with your choices.

    Annabelle. It's the only one that doesn't sound totally frumpy and/or like a farm animal's name.

    I thought it was really funny that you posted this because I was just going to post that Annabelle reminds me of a cow. Only because I grew up in farm country and met many Annabelle cows in my youth.

    I love Penelope nn Penny. Super cute!

    LOVE Penelope, and I think it is the most flexibel of the 3.

    I think Maisie is adorable (but I would spell it Maisy), but I agree that it might not age well.

    I strongly dislike Annabelle.

    LOL I also think of cow when I hear the name Annabelle.  So funny that someone said it didn't bring a farm animal to mind!

    I actually think they're all cute. My favorite might be Maisie/Mae.

    I have an Annabel, so that obviously gets my vote :)  I loooove Penelope!  Maisie was on my list, but I don't care for it at all these days.
