This is what I've come up with for a girl.

What do you think?

Oh my god we have such similar taste, lol. Beatrix was on my list of middle names and Juniper is my daughter's first name (again after much agonising!).

BustleInYourHedgerow · 01/02/2011 22:49

Hmm, maybe my judgement is a bit skewed because Annah is a fabulous person! Don't like Primrose for a first name though.

Like Primrose best from your options :)

Thank you :)

I'm pretty sure it's The One.

The other options were..

Anna Juniper Ivy
Anna Beatrix Ivy

I love Primrose, it's my daughter's middle name (after changing our minds several times!) and like you I used my Grandmas name as a second middle name (Mai).

I think your choice is lovely.
:)

Annah with an h on the end sounds like cockney for Hannah. Smile

Beautiful, well done Smile

Annah?? That's terrible!

Ivy has to be there. I don't love it either but I adored my Grandma.

I have considered Primrose as a first name but it might be a difficult one to live with?

I'd be tempted to leave Anna off altogether, actually. I also like the suggestion of Rosemary.

ValiumSandwichTime · 01/02/2011 10:44

Annah looks wrong and makes me wince.

ValiumSandwichTime · 01/02/2011 10:43

Anna is lovely.

Primrose is too f888ing uptight for my tastes, although Rosemary is beautiful. Ivy is one of the old lady names that I don't get.

Anna Rosemary - leave it at that... That would be more my taste.

Too many names with too many sounds.

GandalfyCarawak · 01/02/2011 09:19

The name is lovely, really pretty but also nice for an adult in a boardroom iykwim! Please don't spoil it with the extra h...

PlanetLizard · 01/02/2011 09:17

Gorgeous! All three names are lovely :)

I'd stick to the Anna spelling.

IngridBergmann · 01/02/2011 06:54

Lovely.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 01/02/2011 06:47

Please don't it Annah. She will spend the rest of her life having to spell her name to everyone. It's not special or unique, just silly.

AvaBanana · 01/02/2011 04:02

Bit of a mouthful, although all nice names individually. Anna is lovely.

BustleInYourHedgerow · 01/02/2011 00:20

Was going to second dropping the Ivy, but if it's a family name it has to stay:) I know this might sound a bit gimpy, but a friend of mine is Anna with a h - Annah, and I've always thought it was a nicer spelling. Although she does get a lot of guff about it though!

I need to have Ivy in there as it's a family name.

Anna Primrose is lovely. I'd drop the Ivy.
