Annabel without the extra -le. Annabeth seems too short somehow: as if it needs something extra up front. Rosannabeth? Louannabeth? Not that I'd use them, but they match the original Elizabeth in rhythm and length.

Elizabelle? When the pretty, elegant and authentic Isabel already exists? Why, why, why bother?

Annabelle by far. I think it's such a pretty, sophisticated name, much better than Isabelle / Isabella. As for Annabeth, nms at all, I don't like it.

---

Same goes for Elizabelle and Elizabella, not a fan of either. But I prefer the spelling Elisabelle, it looks softer. Why not go for Elisabetta if you want an alternative to Elizabeth? I think it's pretty:) Or Mirabelle / Mirabella is you want a 'belle' name.

I prefer Annabelle (or better, Annabel). While I like Anna Beth as a nn for Anna Elizabeth, something about names in general being jumbled together don't appeal to me at all -- particularly Annabeth.

---

My only exception is Anneliese.

I prefer Annabeth. I don't like Elizabelle at all.

Annabeth...

I don't like the juvenile-ness of belle names. I also love the 'th' sound at the end because it's sounds soft and sweet, whereas the 'bell' makes it sound like someone who is trying too hard to be cute.
I like Elisabel. Elizabelle just looks like Eliza Belle smushed together. Elizabella is better, but it still looks like Eliza Bella combined. And Elisabele looks like it has 5 syllables. I do like Elisabel though. Or maybe Elizabel.

Annabelle, though I strongly prefer Annabel.

I don't like Elizabelle or Elizabella because they seem like such a stretch for a flowery name. Elizabeth/Eliza are perfectly feminine on their own, and don't need -belle or -bella tacked on the end.

Annebelle is adorable!

I prefer Annabelle to Annabeth, and as for Elizabelle, etc, Theyee not really my style, I think they are too close to Elizabeth, but sound kinda made up. Annabelle is beautiful though.

Annabelle

I like Annabelle a lot, but I would spell it Annabel.

---

I don't like Annabeth, Elizabelle or Elizabella, sorry. They sound like they are trying too hard to be different. But I think Elizabeth is a perfect name and there are a lot of unique nicknames you could make out of it: Eliza, Libby, Ellie or Elle, etc.

Annabelle

Elisabel or Elisabella is they way I think they look best or Elizabel.

This is very hard, I really like Annabelle and Annabeth. I think Annabeth wins though.

---

I don't like Elizabelle or Elizabella though. I do love Elisabeth.

Not a fan of any of them, but I like Annabelle best.

Annabelle is better. I don't like Elizabelle or Elizabella, no matter the spelling.

I like Annabeth, but I think it's just a touch too soft to work for a person. It's like Annabelle x 100; the sweetness is just too powerful. Annabelle has a bit more backbone.

---

I don't mind Elizabelle or Elizabella - I don't know if I'd ever actually use them on real people and I don't think I'd want to be an Elizabella, but they look darn cool. I prefer Elizabel. Elisabel is ok, but I have the urge to put too much emphasis on the S in there and say it something like "Alyssabel" which gives it a slimier character than I care for. Elisabele even more so; its starting to look almost medical to me there.

Well, out of Annabeth or Annabelle, I prefer Annabelle. I know both are legit, but Annabeth kind of has a made up quality to me.

---

I kind of like Elizabelle, but not Elizabella, which is too over the top for me. I prefer them with the Z. Though I prefer just plain Eliza to both of them.
