Amabel???

I have just recently fallen in love with Amabel- What are you general thoughts on the name? My only hesitation is with the 'bell' ending- they are so popular around where I live but Amabel just sounds so refreshing to me..would she get lost in a sea of 'Bellas'?
I have two children named Scarlett and Malcolm- how do you think they sound together? Scarlett, Malcolm and Amabel?
Possible combos are:

Amabel Maureen
Amabel Louise
Amabel Anne

Amabel is very pretty and would complement your children's names. You could call her Amy instead of Belle or Bella. Even without a nn I think it's fine to use despite all the other -bell names. Amabel Maureen and Amabel Louise are both nice, Amabel Anne sounds awkward to me.

I love it, but wouldn't use it because everyone would think it was Annabel.

I think it's pretty. Yes, it has the -bell ending but I wouldn't exactly categorize her with Isabella's and Arabella's. I think the name compliments your other children's names quite well. From your combos, I like Amabel Louise best.

I think Amabel would make a lovely addition to Scarlett and Malcolm.
I totally relate to the whole -bel situation, but I think it should be ok.

I want to like it, but it's just too close to Annabel that it's bothersome. I love Annabel, and I think any Amabel would constantly be having her name confused with Annabel. And I think Annabelle will become popular once people discover it.

I think Scarlett, Malcolm, and Amabel would be lovely together. Amabel Maureen is gorgeous! I love Maureen.

I've always loved Amabel and I think it goes well with Scarlett and Malcolm.

Not sure I like any of the middle names you've paired up with it, though.

I don't care for Amabel. I prefer it's twin, Annabel; it sounds "cleaner", if I'm making any sense.

I think Amabel is very pretty. I think it goes well with Scarlett and Malcolm. I wouldn't worry about her blending in with 'Bellas', but she may end up having to correct people who call her Annabel.
