Hi

DC2 is due any day now and we have chosen Anna as a first name for a girl, but am struggling to come up with a middle name, so far, have -

Anna Catherine
Anna Elizabeth
Anna Caitlin
Anna Isabel
Anna Harper

(last one is a bit of curve ball I know but I LOVE surnames as first names, but DH has vetoed.

Would welcome any suggestions??

Haven't you got a family name you could use?

Lois

BTW I like

Anna Jane

Anna Catherine is my favourite from your list

Dont really have a family name, and kind of want to avoid that anyway as could see it causing all sorts of offence if we used a name from one side, only want one middle name, thanks for suggestions so far.

Lucia

Anna Elizabeth is lovely. What about your maiden name? Would it work? Or your mother's maiden name?

Anna Sophia is lovely.

Thanks for suggestions, am drawn to Anna Elizabeth, but DH not so keen, also, what do you think of Anna Kate??

My DDs middle name is Jacqueline (her first name is almost identical to Anna with an extra letter )

Catherine and Elizabeth are lovely names, also how about Caroline? I think Anna flows well with a longer middle name.

Christina

Love Anna Kate and Anna Elizabeth

other suggestions:

Tess
Lauren
Frances
Florence
Beatrice
Felicity
Lily
Rose
Iris
Ruby
Sadie
Lydia

My Anna is Anna Georgina. Out of your list I like Anna Catherine best then Anna Elizabeth.

Anna Olivia

Anna Catherine is lovely. I also like Anna Grace or Anna Joy. Anna Elizabeth fabulous too. Anna Louise?

I like your list my fav would prob Anna Elisabeth its lovely but also like Anna kate.... Do like Anna Rose from thirtys list too i know an Anna Marie who is a sweet lovely girl and i have aunt Anna Christy who is one of the kindest ppl i have ever known, so great name fiesta

Anna Maria

Lily

Love Anna Harper.

Thanks to all who have replied, had unexpected visitors this afternoon hence why I'm just back online now. Am now thinking maybe Anna Kate, have always loved the name Kate, but more as first name, but as this will def. be last baby, maybe I should just choose my two favourite names, but keep thinking that Anna sounds better with a longer middle name - its so hard!!

Nothing with vowels running into eachother, like Ana Elizabeth or Anna Isabel.

Anna Kate
Anna Christabel
Anna Catherine
Anna Joy
Anna Juliet
Anna Beatrice
anna Grace
Anna Louise

oooh

Anna Georgina
Anna Caroline

very good suggestions.

wdyt of Anna Rosemary? think a longer name is better.

seriously

how many times do i need to say banana

?

Ronaldinhio, would you believe that it also DH's most suggested middle name, no wonder I'm on mumsnet trying to get help! Strange thing is, I've started saying it in a kind of affectionate way to the bump, so lets hope it doesnt stick
