DH and I both love the name but BIL and SIL already have a niece called Annabel. If we can't find anything we like as much we'll still use it as it's not a close relative to us, but if there's an alternative that'd be better! Any suggestions of names with a similar feel?

Arabella is a bit too posh for us 
Can't begin with an E because DD1's name does and it would be confusing! Isobel or Isabella are out because that's my best friend's daughter. Sorry...!

Roob I love all of those
We have a particularly English-sounding surname so anything vaguely exotic sounds daft with it!

But, although that wouldn't be ''too close'' for the OP it would mean that their BIL & SIL had two nieces called Annabel 
I could do without two nieces with the same name, if you're given a choice! which I understand you're not!

Oh yes Anneliese is the spelling, whoops. I remember her character on Neighbours

I've met two girls called Annalise - both spell it without the e but it probably depends where you live
