Just add a on the end instead of e and bam annabella !
The name means Loving. Maybe switch out the spelling Annabelle - Baby Name Meaning, Origin, and Popularity | Nameberry
I feel like a lot of people put more effort into naming their kid something edgy or ‘cool’ rather than thinking of what the social consequences could be. Like it or not… They exist, and they will affect your child regardless of your intentions.
It’s NOT THEIR BABY.
It’s bad luck to be superstitious
This is YOUR child, and you can name her whatever you want!!!
I almost named my baby girl Annabelle Lee lol. Big edgar Allen Poe fan lol
I’m bias but I love the name. My daughter is Annabelle.
What about the Freddies or Jasons of the world, we don’t view those as horror movie names… at least I don’t, or Tiffany from Chucky’s bride lol. Name her Annabelle it’s a lovely name.

I want to thank Dr Nath a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my wife back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my wife, to the extend that she left the house, and she started dating another man and she stayed with the man, i tried all i can to bring her back, but all my effort was useless until till the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my wife, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Nath and told him every think and he told me not to worry my self again that my Wife will come back to me after he has cast a love spell on her,i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within that 8days, my wife really came back begging me to forgive her, if you need his help you can contact him with his email address [[email protected]
add him up on his WhatsApp +2348072435031 He is willing to help any body that need his help.

Hey that’s a great name.
I mean if you veto every name used for a villain in a movie you don’t have many choices left! I think it’s beautiful. And it would probably end up being shortened anyway, most Annabelles I know are nicknamed Belle

Love the name, named my daughter Annabelle after her great-great grandmother; no one mentions the movie and just says it’s cute/sweet

I think the name is beautiful 
we didn’t tell anyone what we were planning on calling our boy for this reason. It’s yours and your hubby’s choice, no one else’s.
My neighbor has a daughter (now 20 I think) named Annabelle. We’re a tight, religious, Christian community and I don’t think anyone has ever thought anything of the name. It’s cute!

One of my favorite Christmas movies as a kid was Annabelle’s Wish. Maybe they should watch that movie instead of just associating the name with a horror movie. I personally love the name

Do you have a good relationship with his family? Is that why they can stick their nose where it doesn’t necessarily belong? Does your husband like the name too? You and your husband’s opinions are truly the only ones that matter. Side note it is a beautiful name, it just so happens to also be in a horror movie and a possessed doll
Well it’s not their child.
Call your child what you and your husband want
No one else’s decision … everyone is entitled to there opinion, doesn’t mean to say you have to except it … and for the record I think its a beautiful name
Maybe try abbiegayle
I love the name. My daughter is Katie Annabelle and have nothing but compliments on the name. (We are also a church family 
)
Annabelle is adorable and so easy to Nickname, she could be Ann, Anna, bell, Bella, ella, and personally I don’t care what either side of the family thinks as someone who is also due in a month I didn’t look for opinions when I told our families my name choice

That name, was around long before the movie, so, the argument, against it, is moot.

It is a beautiful name. Sounds like his family is putting too much thought into a movie. They should be able to realize that a name is not an indicator of evil.

That was my great grandmothers name
I went to church/Sunday School/elementary school with an Annabelle!! Nice memories!! Whatever you and Daddy decide on will be perfect!!
If you both like it thats what matters, don’t let others influence your feelings about the name
If my son had been a girl I planned to name her Penny Annabelle Lee (Pennywise Annabelle and Edgar Allen Poe’s Annabelle Lee) my mom wasn’t thrilled when I told her why I wanted those names but I told her that they were just beautiful names and they don’t have to just be because of the movies. The name Penny is cute and Annabelle Lee was a fantastic poem and Annabelle is one of my favorite scary movies (so is IT obviously but you get the point haha)

Annabel is a doll that is possessed (actually a raggedy Ann doll) but just because it’s that way doesn’t mean you can’t name your daughter that don’t let your in-laws make your decisions for you

Annabelle is a beautiful name. If that is the name on your heart for your daughter then stand firm on it. There are great nicknames too - Anna, Ani, Annie, Bell or Bella, and a friend of mine called her little sister, AB (Abee). Your family will adjust and choose a nickname for her. My grandma hated the name Jessica (my oldest daughter) because she knew I’d call her “Jessie” which reminded her of Jesse James, the outlaw. 
Congrats on your baby girl!
I love Annabelle or Annabeth such beautiful names

One of my favorite student’s name was Annabelle. So smart, funny, kind, creative and a bookworm!!
Name her Annabel Lee…and say it’s from the Edgar Alan Poe poem.
I love it. Named my daughter Payton after seeing hand that rocks the cradle. Found out I was pregnant right after and said to my husband I love that name before she turned out to be a psycho near the end. Worked out ok for me!
It doesn’t have anything to do with being religious to me but ever since seeing that movie I automatically cringe at the name Annabelle lol. Don’t blame them for not liking it.
This is why I would never share my baby names… everyone will always have an opinion. I think it’s a beautiful name.

Don’t tell anyone the baby’s name until it’s on the birth certificate. Not everyone will ever like the baby’s name. If you both like it, that should be her name!

Oh good grief. Really you’re going to or not name your kids name because of what your in-laws think? My in-laws said our kids names were too white because they are biracial. So we named them their names anyway. And that’s their names Damn it!
It’s a beautiful name! As is Penelope but I didn’t name my daughter that because of the movie about the girl with a pig nose… We went with Tallulah
