It’s okay. A little too frilly for my taste. I do like it as a middle name, though. But I prefer Annabel.

I like it but it is long. It's a lot more practical and less princessy than most long names though. I think Isabel is 100x better than Isabella, but Annabel and Annabella are fairly similar to me (at least right now).
There's a kids series where you add a syllable to your name for every generation you survive, and there was an old character called Annabella who had gone from Ann to Anna to Annabel to Annabella. I remember thinking the author was lucky to find a common four-syllable name where each successive syllable also made a common name.

Off topic but do you remember the name of that series? It sounds interesting.

I think it was in Gathering Blue

I like it

It's heavy but cute. I like it. It sounds almost royal.

Too much of a good thing. I don't like the rhythm, -bella is a false etymology and the whole thing brings me close to a diabetic coma.
Annabel is fine; I could use it.

I don’t like it. I don’t even like Annabel(le).
Anna/Anne/Ana/Ane/Annie: Yes
Bella/Belle: Yes
But for some reason, I can’t stand Annabel/Annabelle or Annabella.

It's way too frilly for me. Even more than Isabella or Cecilia (a name that immediately makes me picture petticoats and doilies). It took me a while to appreciate Annabel, but Annabella is just too much.

It’s uber-frilly and obnoxiously try-hard feminine. I prefer Annabel far more.

I think it's a bit much.
I love Annabel, it is sweet and simple. Annabelle is already too frilly for my tastes.
Annabel to me is sweet and feminine in a nice way, like a bright summer's day, clean cotton. Annabelle is overly sweet, like a pink cake with cream and sugary sprinkles and marshmallows on top. Annabella is even sweeter and frillier, so sweet it makes you feel sick.
No offense, it is my no means a bad name and I wouldn't mind meeting an Annabella. But it is just too much. The Portuguese Anabela seems less frilly but would also feel misspelled too many people.
In general I feel like Annabelle, Isabella and other -belle/-bella names are already starting to become dated. I also find Bella so tired and unattractive as a nickname.
