Anastasia - Gorgeous. It is so classy and unpopular (huge plus). It is long and stunning, yet is can be shortened to nn Annie which is adorable.
Annika - I like this. It isn't as classic as Anastasia, but it has a nice modern sounding edge to it.
Annabelle - I love Annabel with this spelling. I prefer to keep it simple. It is very sweet and spunky
Anna-Claire - Hyphenated names seem like a pain. I prefer Anna as a first name, and Claire as a mn. Or Anna Claire as a double name. In fact, I do love Anna on its own. Very simple and an obvious variant of Ann, but uncommon and strong sounding.
Annette - seems outdated, but least favourite

You could consider Annelise (nn Annie or Liesel) as well.

What are the siblings names (if any)? They are all very different in style, so we could tell you which goes with the sibs the best.

I voted for Annabelle but I'm another one who prefers the Annabel spelling.

I love Annika, but only if you're pronouncing it with a soft A -- AHn-i-ka (not with a nasal A like in 'ant').

I like Annelise.

Also you might consider Annabeth (like the actress Annabeth Gish) -- I've always liked that name.

Some may find this outdated or uninteresting, but I have always thought Anne Marie is a pretty name (or Anne-Marie, depending on whether you like the hyphen). Annie is a cute nickname, too.
