I like:
Annabel Charlotte
Annabel Naomi
Annabel Sophia (only spelled Sofia)
Annabel Juliet
Annabel Claire

I think it's gorgeous and not too frilly at all (Annabella might be a bit much, though). I can definitely picture a professional Annabel. My fave combos are Annabel Charlotte and Annabel Sophia.

I adore Annabel. It's gorgeous and timeless and offers plenty of nice nicknames if Annabel just doesn't seem to age well enough for you.
Personally, I think it would age very well. It's very sweet, yes, but it also sounds sophisticated since it's a classic and very fun. I think it would age better than Annabelle would because it lacks the ultra-feminine 'elle' ending. Annabel is definately my favorite spelling. I love your combos, especially
Annabel Charlotte
Annabel Caroline
Annabel Sophia
Annabel Juliet
Annabel Julia- My favorite.
Annabel Clara- No, I don't think of cows :-)
Annabel Claire

---

I also love:
Annabel Kathleen
Annabel Sylvia
Annabel Victoria
Annabel Katherine
Annabel Faye
Annabel Robin
Annabel Christine
Annabel Rae
Annabel Joy

---

I'm sure some of those aren't your style, and they don't all fit in with your combos, but they're on my list as such because they're all family names for me.

---

Cheers!

I think Annabel is more of a youthful name not a mature name although i like it much better than Isabel

I definitely think Annabel would age well. I actually like both spellings, Annabel and Annabelle, equally. Also, it's great this name has two fantastic nicknames Anna or Belle. I think I like Annabel Claire best because I think Annabel sounds better with a shorter middle name. Also, Annabel Charlotte is nice. I also like Annabel Violet or Annabel Phoebe.
I don't know if you have the baby name wizard book but it says: that Annabelle is decorative but modest. The overwhelming impression is of sweetness. The name has come back from a long period of disuse and is on its way to widespread popularity. For spellings, women seem to prefer Annabel, men Annabelle. Annabel is chic, Annabelle is girly, and Annabella trails flowers in its wake.

---

I really like Annabel & Annabelle (I think I prefer this spelling since I love the nn Belle) and lately I've been thinking about it as a nice, less popular alternative to Isabelle / Isabella.

---

I think it ages quite well & I love the nns Annie, Anna, & Belle for a little girl.

---

ETA: Annabel Clara is definitely to cowish, but I love Annabel Charlotte.

I like the name, it's pretty. I don't find it too cutesy or childish at all. I do prefer the spelling Annabelle though, it just looks more complete.

---

Annabel Charlotte - I like it, but it's very long.
Annabel Caroline - It's pretty.
Annabel Naomi - I like it, the flow is good.
Annabel Sophia - Really nice, but I'd prefer Annabel Sophie.
Annabel Juliet - Nice.
Annabel Julia - Nice.
Annabel Clara - It does seem to cowish to me, sorry! :)
Annabel Claire - Nice.

---

I think my fave is Annabel Sophia.

I like the name Annabel/Annabelle. I prefer the spelling Annabel, but I like also like Annabelle because the name Belle is in it. Belle is a very beautiful name.

---

I think the name would age nicely. It's not the best 'aging' name but it would be okay, imo.

---

I like the combos Annabel Charlotte, Annabel Sophia, Annabel Julia, and Annabel Claire.

I think Annabel is lovely!

---

I love:
Annabel Charlotte
Annabel Sophia

---

I think Annabel Beatrice or Annabel Matilda would also be gorgeous!

I really love Annabel, and yes, I think it ages well. I like all of your combos, but I love:

---

Annabel Caroline
Annabel Sophia
Annabel Juliet
Annabel Claire

Annabel is a pretty name and I like this spelling best. It does sound a little childish to me, but I think it will age fine.

---

Annabel Sophia and Annabel Juliet are my favourites, both are beautiful. :)

---

I love Annabel, this spelling only. Annabelle looks crowded and overdone. I think it ages fine, and is a great alternative to the mega-hit Isabel(le).

---

The combos are all nice. I like the Charlotte and Julia ones most.

I love Annabelle with the -le but Annabel is also nice, it just seems incomplete to me. Because Annabel is considered frilly I would pair it with a less frilly name such as:
Annabel Ruth
Annabel Isolde
Annabel Faye
Annabel Paige
Annabel Wren
also because of the many syllables of Annabel I like to stick with one o two syllable middle names, just because I think it sounds best.

Nice! My cousin's name is Annabella. Annabella Sofia.

Annabel!! I love that name!! Though, I prefer the spelling of annabelle, as I feel the name looks more graceful and flowy with the le at the end. The name has never been wildly popular, so I think that's why people have a hard time picturing an adult annabelle. I don't find it difficult, but if I child felt they outgrew it they could always go by Anne which is ageless yet mature.
Combos I like/love:
Annabelle Charlotte
Annabelle Sophia
Annabelle Juliet
Annabelle Julia
Annabelle Claire
(We apparently have very similar taste :D)
