Hi all!
Recently found out I'm expecting baby #3! I have a a four year old, Lucy and a 19 month old, Violet. This pregnancy is a complete surprise.
We haven't really even had time to process the idea of another baby, much less names, but the subject came up over dinner. Both girls are named after family and we'd like to do the same this time around. The boy name we had picked out both previous pregnancies is William Dexter (William is my husbands first name, Dexter was my grandfather's and uncle's middle name).
We've tossed around using Ann in some form both previous pregnancies because that is my husband's mother's middle name and his grandmother's first name. Over dinner dh suggested Annabelle. I have to admit it's really sticking with me. I think it fits well with Lucy and Violet.
Opinions? And which spelling do you prefer?
Annabelle
Annabel
Middle name I think I'd like to do a variation of my middle name, Marie. Either Marion or Maris? (All mean "of the sea").
I know we still have plenty of time but I'm trying to really get excited instead of stress. 3 BABIES! Ish just got real.

Re: Annabelle...
I guess there's no reason not to... I've just always felt Marie was kind of a filler name, and dated. Never really liked the flow of my own name.

I plan to use my mom's middle name (Marie also) for my first daughter. I dislike that it is a dated but common middle filler name too. I plan to use it anyway because my daughter can say she is named after her grandmother and that's what is most important to me.

Two cats I had in my life, both passed on now, were named Annabelle and Marie.
I realize they're cats but i'm really into my cats, you guys.
