Middle Name for 'Anna'?

[leonam]

We've decided on Anna for a little girl as I just find it so lovely and classic. Can't pick a middle name though - any suggestions? I liked Anna Violet but OH thinks Violet's too harsh - I also thought of Anna Lily but Lily is uber-super-popular now. It can't be a name ending in -a or beginning with a vowel (would sound funny). Help pliz!

Madeleine

Meredith

Cecily

Willow

Rebecca


I LOVE the name Anna btw, would love to use it in the future.

Anna Mary? Anna's a lovely name, hope you find a middle name you like.

Anna Lily sounds AWFUL sorry to be honest. It is weak and it sounds like Anally.

Anna Juliet on the other hand, just a suggestion compliments Anna and isn't so predictably of the moment.

Violet is ok, pretty in some ways but also strangely close to violent or violate. Could never choose it.

Anna needs something that neither begins nor ends in a vowel.

Anna Catherine
Anna Margaret
Anna Beatrice
Anna Caroline
Anna Florence
Anna Verity
Anna Cecily

My sister is Anna Elizabeth and I think they go well together. Or Anna Rebecca?

[poobumfartbollocks]

I know an Anna Elizabeth too! So vowels can work.

Anna Rose

Anna Grace

[RockBat]

Niece is Anna Louise but she mostly goes by the name of Anna Spanner :o

[MoppingMummy]

My sister was called Anna Spanna and Anna Banana - that brought back some memories!

[letsblowthistacostand]

I like Anna Louisa. Very Jane Austen or something.

I came on to say Lucia but Panzee got there first. Anna Lucia is lovely though.

[salsaprincess]

Yes Anna Lucia is a beautiful name :)

[Jennylee]

it sure is i love it

[leonam]

ValiumSkeleton: hmm, had not considered 'anally' as possible variation on name - that is actually quite rank. I did consider Juliet too so will rethink that as it is pretty.

Panzee: Anna Lucia is beautiful, thank you - will run it past OH to see if I can bully him into accepting it he likes it.

Louise
Lys
Catherine
Marie

I have an Anna Catherine. Anna Juliet is very pretty though.

[DandyDan]

Marian

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

I think Anna would go with a longer middle name.

[skandi1]

Anna Karina (Carina). Sounds nice. Or Anna Katrina?

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

Or even Anna Karenina :)

our DD (11months) is Anna elizabeth bluebell. I know bluebell's a bit naff, but we like it nevertheless! :O

I have an Anna Lily named after dh grandmother. Everyone commments on how pretty it is, even if it is really popular now. 3 years on I still love it.
