Emma, Charlotte, Vanessa, Molly all ruled out for family reasons. Can't have flower names!

So far, have:

Katherine (Katy)
Sophie

Any others welcomed!

Jane goes very nicely with Anna.

mollymole · 04/08/2012 09:25

I like Eleanor or Eleanora nn Ellie/Nellie/

I'm Katherine and don't find it annoying, I have given all 3 DDs names that need to be spelt out.

The only thing is everyone decides on their own abreviation so I have been called Kath, Cathy, Katie and Kat.

I love the name Anna. I think Megan goes really well for some reason. It's a combination I'd have if I have two girls! x

What about Louisa?

I know an Anna and Louisa, we also know an Anna and Sophie and an Anna and Helena.

How about Anna and Rachel? Anna and Isabel? Anna and Emily?

Juliet is a lovely name - and goes well with Anna - I guess you just might face the inevitable shortening to Julie or Jules though.

Eleanor (my favourite)
Juliet
Madeleine
Margaret
Claire

I love Katherine as well!

ThePathanKhansWitch · 03/08/2012 16:38

Mary. Beautiful name, well due a massive comeback.

yellowflowers · 03/08/2012 16:36

Of course. Doh!

seeker · 03/08/2012 16:00

What about Caroline? Classic, easy to spell and pronounce and incredibly unusual!

newby2 · 03/08/2012 15:58

Sophie! Definitely It's my first baby's name.

wigglesrock · 03/08/2012 14:01

Juliet was my second choice when I picked Anna so they must have been of the same ilk in my mind Grin

Katharine/Catherine/Kathryn/Katherine is lovely but we have a lot in our family so I never really considered it.

Mary is one of my daughters middle name Grin I'm just a big walking Mumsnet name cliche Grin

HappyCamel · 03/08/2012 13:56

I think Anna and Juliet go really well together.

So...I like Katharine, NN Katy

DH likes Juilet

Questions: Is it annoying always having to spell Katharine?

Is Juliet too "pretty" compared with Anna, which I see as strong and classic?
