Anna, Elsa or other suggestions please

[orti]

Going round in circles here. Opinion on these names please and suggestions for any other names which are simple (or can be shortened to something simple), pretty and chic. If you're an Anna, do you wish you were an 'Annabel'!?

[Irons]

I'm Cara-Lee but prefer Cara on it's own, but often get called Carla. My daughter is Eva, but tend to get a lot of people calling her Evie.

Anna is pretty.

Not keen on Elsa

[BallpointPen]

Anna is OK, bit dull, prefer Hannah.

Not keen on Elsa unless you're Finish (think that's where Elsa is from)

[MoppingMummy]

I like Anna very much - very pretty name. My own daughter is called Nyah (meaning purpose). Names I love at the moment are: Niamh, Sasha and Naomi!

[tummytickler]

Not keen on Anna, really dislike Annabel. Anne is my favourite 'Ann' name.

Elsa on the other hand, is fab, cool, sophisticated and cute!

[oceryo]

I like Anna.

Elsa is OK but I prefer other similar names like Alyssa, Alice, Elsie, Elspeth, Ailsa.

[bellissima]

Like Anna, hate Annabel. Like Clara and Clare. Like Katherine (Kate). And Harriet (Hattie). And Caroline (Caro).

I'm very old. To me, Elsa is yellow and roars.

Elsa is lovely, and quite unusual. Would you pronounce it Ell-Sa or Ell-Za?

Anna is much prettier than Annabel.

[juneybean]

My cat is called Elsa, but I think it could be very sweet on a baby.

I like Anna by itself.

[Lovethesea]

Prefer Anna to Annabel. Different image in my head from both of those.

[freebirdx]

Anna is lovely.

Not keen on Elsa.

[oceryo]

Yes I thought of the lioness too bellissima!

[pitterpatterfeet]

Another vote for Anna here!

[KAEKAE]

I like Annabel or Annabella, Anna is slightly boring, I even prefer Annie over it. I quite like Elsa, nice altervative sounding name to Elsie which is fast becoming popular again.

[diddl]

I love Elsa and Elise.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

I love the name Anya. Would you consider that?

[careylouwho]

I love Annabel and Elsa - both names I'm considering if I ever get knocked up! I like Anna but also think it is a bit on the plain side. Also like Elsie and Anabella. Hope you find a name you love

[halfawake]

Elsa is lovely, a favourite of mine. You could use it as a nickname for Eleanor if you want something longer.

Anna is also great, very classic. I prefer just Anna on its own over Annabel (which is okay but a bit froofy and little-girly). How about Annelise nicknamed Anna if you wanted a longer name?
