Does anyone know why Amanda calls her doll Anabelle in the final scene? The doll is called Mirabelle during the search. Is it because the Mirabelle doll fell into the lake and Amanda got a new doll called Anabelle, or maybe it was actually to show her careless mother didn't even know the correct name of her doll by calling her Mirabelle instead of Anabelle?
shareLike other's said, and as the last part of your sentence suggested, it's to show that the doll's actual name is Annabelle, not Mirabelle, but her mother pays so little attention to Amanda that she didn't even know the name of her daughter's doll.
It also gives the idea that Patrick, at that point, may be realizing that he, indeed, made a mistake.
What kind of mother doesn't know the name of their daughter's favorite doll?

That guy was in for a lot of babysitting. I got the impression that he could have been the little boy Remy 'rescued' years ago...
shareNo doubt. A LOT of babysitting, as Helene surely isn't going to change.
It wouldn't be at all surprising to find out that Patrick had been in some type of bad situation when he were young that gave him the desire to do the sort of work he does.

Could Anabell not be only the name of the 2nd doll? (The first being thrown in the lake).
Or maybe the mother was just too freaked out by her daughter missing to remember the doll's name. Or just she used too much drugs...
Though, frankly she doesn't seem like she would care either way... :/
Those are interesting ideas, but the scene was meant to suggest one thing, and that is that the mother is not the mother she purports to be, and that her daughter is actually not very important to her.

I think she's very much who we expect her to be after the 2h in the car comment :)
As for the last scene itself, I don't know if it's supposed to tell us something or to make us wonder, like the movie's ending.
