I really love the name Annabel!
@snowmaiden suggested the sweetest combo- Annabel Lily! I can’t stop thinking of this - it’s so gorgeous!
My dh and everyone I talk to don’t like Annabel because it reminds them of the doll/ history of the Raggedy Ann doll that was the inspiration 
What names remind you of Annabel?
I love the name Annabel!
Would a spelling change help? For example,
Anabel, Anabell, Anabelle, Annabell, or Annabelle?
If not, then you could try
Anabeth, Annabeth
Anabella, Annabella, Anabela, Annabela
Annamarie
Annamaria
Annarose
Annarosa
Thank you! I know it’s really a beautiful name. [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] is the actual spelling of the doll but it’s basically the same to my DH. I do really like [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]!

I adore Annabel, I have no bad associations with it. 
I fell in love with it when I was reading the Mary Poppins series as a little girl. She was the baby sister of the Banks family and there was this super adorable chapter about her (Mary Poppins Comes Back. A little glimpse of the chapter: The New One – P L Travers | Sitearm)
