Met another Annabel, but...

SmileyIsMeSmileyIsMe
in Baby Names

We were at the park a couple weeks ago. We met a couple who had a DD a few months older than mine. She asked what my DD's name was and said her DD was also Annabel. Cool!

She asked how I spelled DD's named, and I basically told her without the -le at the end (I named DD after the poem Annabel Lee). She laughed and said that was how they spelled it, too.

Awesome! But then she had to ruin it with this gem:

"But we spell it with a capital B."

So, her DD's name is AnnaBel. So much for a connection on a good name.

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker image BFP: 9/24/11 EDD: 6/5/12 Natural MC: 11/6/11

    My husband is an engineer, and engineers write everything capital, so ANNABEL...

    Oh GAWD.. Now we have not only random dumb spellings (not that annabel is dumb, thinking about all random Y's and made up names..).. But parents that just randomly capitalize a letter in their child's name?!

    Some things should be illegal.

    That's not weird to me. DH is in the Navy, and they also capitalize everything. One random capital letter in a name is weird to me.

    That's odd.

    I could almost understand (though would still side eye) Anna Belle, but AnnaBel is pretty weird/senseless.

    The name Annabelle is lovely, though.

    Reminds me of this room I saw on Project Nursery, for baby IzaBella.  Awesome room, pretty name, atrocious spelling.

     Izabella (without the Capital B in there) is actually the Hungarian/Polish form of Isabella. Pronounced ee-zah-bell-ah.
