I'd rate Annabel much higher than Annabelle, unless for some strange reason I woke up one morning speaking French. Even then, it wasn't originally a French name ... I don't see the point of pretending it is, just as I don't see the point of tacking an extra -le on to Isabel in a vain quest for the exotic. Annabel has energy and enthusiasm, but Annabelle just flops around looking languid. I'd say an 8 for Annabel but a 2 at best for Annabelle, which is the kind of name I could imagine people giving to a bulldog or a bulldozer as a joke.
