the same way I would say "I am a bell."

awesome, thanks. that's how i was saying it in my head, but someone told me it was like adding an A before the name mabel, so i got confused.

That, to me, sounds silly. Though, it may be a cultural pronunciation to some.

Ayh-mah-bell

like the latter part of "i am able"

thats my first reaction.

Like the name Annabell but with an 'M' instead?

[adamantplatypus.livejournal.com]

I would say it "Ah-ma-bell", the A being long.

amma-bell. like annabelle, just with m.

I remember some baby name site indicating that it should be pronounced "AM-uh-bell," like "Annabel" with an m. I've read that that's where Annabel might have originated, as an m mistaken for two n's, so that sounds right to me.

Like Anabel but with an "m", or, if the kid is a boy, Aim-able.
