I knew a young couple who, about three to four years ago, were expecting a girl, and the husband wanted to name her Isabella. The wife vetoed that because she knew how popular Isabella is. What they named the baby instead was Annabel. So I think you're right when you say "Annabelle Grace is the new Isabella Grace." Those who reject Isabella due to popularity are likely to turn to Annabelle or Anabel because of the similarity in sound and style. You can already see that in Annabel/Annabelle's popularity statistics.
