Not a spelling mistake.
Annabel but with an 'm'.
Am-a-bel. Maybe belle for short.

Not good. Sounds like a mistake. Too much like Annabel.

Nope, sorry - a lifetime of getting it spelled wrong and mispronounced. Annabel is lovely though.

Seriously? It was funny as a spelling mistake.

Forever having to explain that it is not a spelling error? Rubbish.

If said in my hometown accent, it would sound like lazy speaking - particularly as it would go Ama - bewl.

Are you on the south coast? What accent would it be said in?

I mean that would be rubbish. It's a silly choice I think. What's up with Anabelle?

But say it out loud?
Confusion aside it sounds very pretty?

It looks like a misspelling and sounds like someone asking if they're pretty (Am I Bell?).

Nope, sorry, does not sound pretty. Not in any way, shape or form.

Stick with Annabel, Belle for short...

I know an Ama and I love the name. But the family are Ghanaian and it's a traditional name there for a girl born on a certain day of the week.

Amabel....hmmm. Don't think so, sorry.

I knew an Amabel who would now be about 40. I think it's pretty. Once we were corrected the first time, we never forgot it Grin.
