Mollie or Annabel and why?

Having problems deciding-my husband prefers Mollie as also it alliterates with our surname which begins with M. Would that be a bit "Milly Molly Mandy?". I'm thinking Annabel is more sophisticated but maybe a bit boring, less fun? What image do you have of these names?

I prefer Annabel but like the spelling 'Anabel' better. I think it is pretty but not too 'weak' sounding.
Mollie on the other hand is a bit 'wet' sounding. It makes me think of a floppy rag doll and a child who cries all the time. (sorry!)
