I don't think it sounds rusty at all. In fact, it's far too pretty and frilly for my tastes.
I've never given the name much thought until now... I can see the appeal, but I'm not fond of Christ- names in general.
Christabel Aude, Christabel Ione, Christabel June, and Christabel Maud/Maude are nice.

I'm not a fan of -bel names, they're too 'much' for me. However it would be nice to see, and better than 'Chris' and is very unexpected.
I really like Christabel Diana, it's well grounded. Christabel Georgina is also lovely.
I think if you want to play on that tinkling bell effect I'd go for some alliteration:
Christabel Clare / Claire
Christabel Camilla
Christabel Catherine (or preferred spelling)
Christabel Catalina
Christbael Celandine
Christabel Claudine
Or may I also suggest:
Christabel Iris
Christabel Helen
Christabel Enid
Christabel Emma
Christabel Thomasina
Christabel Tamsin
Christabel Suzette
Christabel Irene
Christabel Dagmar
Christabel Amy

I'm glad you approve! Enid is adorable.
I looooove Christabel. It was a name I considered for myself for a long time, but then I kept hearing about other people named Christabel and decided against it (how ironic). I fell for it after reading the Coleridge poem in my English class.
I enjoy these:
Christabel Eulalie
Christabel Horatia - love this, it's so Georgian-England.
Christabel Ivy
Christabel Nora
Christabel Vera - I love that this poetic meaning of this would be "the true Christabel"
Christabel Violet
Christabel Wanda - just because I am crying tears of joy that somebody else out there thinks Wanda is beautiful
When I played with it, I came up with these:
Sylvia Christabel
Christabel Jamesina
Christabel Colette
Christabel Clara
Pearl Christabel (this was my favourite for ages but I thought it was too good for me)
Nicola Christabel
I still kind of like the idea of using the name for a daughter as a kind of honouring-for-me-but-not-in-an-obvious-way option.

I love Christabel! It's very "Christmasy" I think.
