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.
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. -
