My friend is considering using [name]Annabelle[/name], but I really love the name as well so how can I make it sound similar but not the same? All that comes to mind is [name]Arabelle[/name] which I like but I’m not sold on. Ideas?
[name]Arabella[/name] is a gorgeous option. The a on the end makes it sound different to [name]Annabelle[/name] so it won’t seem like copying.
Yeah [name]Arabella[/name], I agree. [name]Ella[/name], [name]Belle[/name], [name]Bella[/name], [name]Anabelle[/name] (different pronounciation) - Although they might end up with the same nickname anyway ([name]Belle[/name], [name]Bella[/name]!)

Other names I like: [name]Gabrielle[/name]-[name]Ava[/name], [name]Bethany[/name], [name]Seth[/name], [name]Anjelina[/name].
I love [name]Amabel[/name]…I think it is so pretty and NEVER used (that I have heard). It’s still pretty similar to [name]Annabelle[/name] though sound wise. Is is the [name]Anna[/name] or the [name]Belle[/name] that you like?
If [name]Anna[/name]:
[name]Andromeda[/name]
[name]Annette[/name]
[name]Annie[/name]
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Annaliese[/name]
IF [name]BELLE[/name]
[name]Clarabelle[/name]
[name]Isabelle[/name]
[name]Isobel[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name]
[name]Belle[/name]
[name]Bella[/name]
The others have listed a lot, all I can add is [name]Amabel[/name] and [name]Annabella[/name]. 
Others that come to mind which are slightly similar
[name]Araminta[/name]
[name]Annamaria[/name]
[name]Annemarie[/name]
[name]Mirabella[/name]
You could try Avabelle, which even includes the cute but trendy [name]Ava[/name] without having a popular name. Or you could always just split the name into a first and middle- [name]Anna[/name] [name]Belle[/name] _______?
You could use something like [name]Adorabelle[/name], [name]Adabelle[/name], [name]Amabelle[/name], Avabelle, or [name]Arabelle[/name]
I really like [name]Annabelle[/name] too.
