Anabella and Alexandra are way to close. Sorry if you like the Bella nn what about using. Mirabella or Mayabella? they still have the same ending but don't seem so similar to me.

I love Annabel. If you want the Bella I think you should atleast spell it Annabella, instead of Anabella. Anabella just doesn't look right. I don't like the nn Bella, I love Annabel nn Annie though. Your baby is Alexandra Isabelle right? I don't think the names are too close.

I love Annabella in that spelling, and also Annabelle. However, I think it's definitely too close to Isabelle.

I think it's too close. If I saw two sisters named Isabelle and Anabella, my first thought would be that the parents were trying to be cutesy. I would suggest using it as a middle name if you're really in love with it but in my opinion it's just much too close to your first daughter's name to use as a first name.

I think it's too close for siblings, and I think it would take away for their individuality, in a slight way. It wouldn't be the end of the world, but I wouldn't do it.

I do like Annabella (that spelling only, as I think it looks more complete). And Isabelle is a great name.
