Oh, I was mostly joking, though I would be a little bummed if it became the next old-fashioned name to become wildly popular, since I spent most of my school days having to go by first and last names or, in college, just last name in certain circles. Of course, I knew going in we'd spend a lot of time spelling it, and I've discovered that when you introduce your daughter as "Annabel" sometimes people frown in puzzlement and say, "Abigail?" or "Isabel?" Which means Annabel will spend her whole life annoyed over those things and wishing we'd named her Emily.
