How do you feel about Annabeth?

mrsbird1129

Is it just a smooshed name in your opinion?  I'm having a really hard time naming dd2 so I'm trying to give it more meaning.  My Grandmas name is Anne and she calls my Mom, Mary Beth (middle name is Elizabeth).  Do you think Annabeth is too made up?  Too matchy with dd1 who is Rosemary (as in is it weird that they both have technically two names in their first name?  

What if her name was Anne Elizabeth and I just called her Annabeth?  I don't like this as much, but it's a thought.

Thoughts? Thanks! 

eta - How do you see it aging on a woman?  Would it be too cutesy to have as an adult name?

I think it is fine and flows well with Rosemary.

It's a bit of a smoosh name to me, and I don't love it. But I like the idea of using Anne Elizabeth (very pretty), and calling her Annabeth (cute and acceptable nn).

I like it. Refreshing change from Annabelle, which I've been hearing a lot lately.

I agree. I think it will age fine, especially since it leaves her with options.

I love Annabeth and was going to use that for a girl until a close relative used Annabelle... too close in my opinion.  But its a classic name that is very pretty and rarely used!  Also flows well with sib.  Good luck!

If you are going to call her annabeth name her annabeth.

i do not know if it is a smoosh name but i do know a 40 year old woman with that name.

I think Annabeth is fine but I prefer Anna Elizabeth and calling her Anna Beth or simply naming her Anna Beth.

 This. I think it's a great name.

I love the name Annabeth.  I don't think it's smooshed at all, and it fits perfectly with Rosemary.

I think it is beautiful.

Anna Beth is my name (first and middle). I prefer it that way, Ive gotten a lot of compliments on it. I go by Anna/ Annie most of the time.

I think of the West Wing character, played by Kristin Chenoweth.  I really loved the character, the name and the actress!

Anyway, I think it's great with Rosemary but Anne Elizabeth called Annabeth is cute too!

I think it goes great with Rosemary and it ages well also. She could also go by anna or beth if she'd like.

This. I much prefer Anne Elizabeth. It also gives her more options as she ages. Rosemary and Anne make a beautiful sibset!

Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I don't much care for it. It just feels smooshy to me.

I do like Bethany though, and it sort of has both "Anne" and "Beth" in it so it could still work to honor your mother and grandmother.

If you really like Annabeth though, I would go with Anne Elizabeth because I think Rosemary and Anne are nice together.

I personally don't care for it.  I prefer Annabelle, but I like the meaning behind it.

I like it.

I like it, and before I read your whole post, I thought of the name Rosemary!!!  I think it goes great together.  I would have never ever thought it was smoosh.

I like it. It makes me think of actress Annabeth Gish (not a bad thing)

I love it! Anna Elizabeth is high on our list and we plan the nn Anna Beth

Tink112011

I love Anna Elizabeth, and Anna Beth is a cute nickname.  Annabeth though... I can't get behind that one.

I really prefer Annabelle, but Annabeth is nice, NMS though.  I agree on Anna Elizabeth, then DD can dictate what she would like to go by in adulthood.

Ditto.  Also Annabeth from the Percy Jackson books (yeah, I'm kind of obsessed with YA books).

I like it, and I think it goes great with Rosemary.

Is NMS but I think it is ok, ages well and flows fine with Rosemary

I much prefer it as a nickname for Anna Elizabeth. That's beautiful.

Have you considered Annelise? I love it lots.

I think it's really cute. I had a teacher named Beth Anne and I thought that was cute too.
