I like both, however I prefer [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] as a middle name and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] as a first.
I am curious of what the forum thinks, though!
I like [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] as a alternative to [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]. [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] is a quiet common name nowadays here in [name_f]Italy[/name_f]. Feels dainty and romantic, reminds me of Shakesperean novels and beautiful poems.
I like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] in general - feels Victorian yet internationally usable, and very sweet, but also reminds me of a young spunky girl of a child picturebook or a smart detective.
Ooh this is tricky because both are lovely! Where I am (UK) there are lots of little Mabels, so [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] feels a bit more fun & unexpected, but my concern would be everyone mishearing and saying [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]! I agree [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] has a fun Victorian spunky vibe whilst [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] is more romantic, overall I think I prefer [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] but would probably keep it for the middle spot? [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] feels a bit more usable (that said I’m very cautious with names!)

Both names are very uncommon in my country so that is even better 
I suppose that it is common in UK since it is a [name_f]British[/name_f] name. Anyways, it is easy enough to read in the Western world in general and very beautiful (I talk about both names)

I prefer [name_f]Amabel[/name_f]! I’m not sure why exactly but I’ve never really loved [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], but [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] combines all the great sounds from [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]. It’s delicate and pretty but also spirited.

I agree with your assessment that [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] is better as a first and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] as a middle, although I can see [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] as a first easier than [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] as a middle.
I like both but probably would never use either.
[name_f]Amabel[/name_f] is my favourite!
I love the sweet pretty sound of [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] she’s spunky, feminine and feels warm.

I love [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - warm, cosy, vintage and fresh.
[name_f]Amabel[/name_f] is slightly more romantic and elegant, but with that warm, round vibe of [name_f]Mabel[/name_f].
I think I still prefer [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], but this is so hard because I love [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] too

I love [name_f]Amabel[/name_f]! It’s a name I would consider using.
[name_f]Amabel[/name_f] is lovely but I do concur with other pps thoughts on people assuming it’s [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]. Which is also a nice name, but it would get annoying. I prefer it to [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] which, where I’m from, has become a bit of a predictable go-to hipster option, along with [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. Take that association away and the name is objectively nice.
I think [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is prettier than [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] as for how it sounds.
