If I like Anna...?

My baby girl is due any day now and we are still debating names. I think my favourite so far is Anna. DH thinks it's OK but maybe a bit dull. So if I like Anna does anyone have any similar suggestions. I already have two boys - Will and Toby and new baby's middle name is likely to be Jane. Thanks!

I love the name Anna. Unfortunately it doesn't go with my surname so I'll never had one. I think it is beautiful.

Anna is beautiful and understated.

How about Ruth?

orderinformation · 03/07/2013 23:15

We toyed with Anna for ages then settled on Annie then had a boy anyway.

My other shortlisted names were:

Hannah
Sophie
Clementine
Ruth
Martha

Anna is a fab name. Would have been a contender for DD if our niece wasn't called Anneliese. We used it for her middle name instead

Moche · 30/06/2013 12:42

Formic - how do you pronounce Anais? Is it Anna-ace or A niece? Or something else? Have often wondered!

formicadinosaur · 29/06/2013 06:33

Alice

formicadinosaur · 29/06/2013 06:32

Emme

formicadinosaur · 29/06/2013 06:32

Anais or anya. Tess

embaker112 · 28/06/2013 23:52

Anna is a classic lovely name, but I honestly prefer Annie!

lollydollydrop · 28/06/2013 22:04

I cant decide whether Anna is nice or just boring. I swing between the two

mathanxiety · 23/06/2013 04:09

Anna is gorgeous. A classic. I love Anastasia and Annabel too, and just plain Anne or Annie.

I would put it in the same category as
Eva
Eve
Celia
Ruth
Rachel

Madeleine
Margaret

Lydia
Honor

Anna is beautiful.

capercaillie · 22/06/2013 22:32

Anna is lovely.

I have an Alice (4 years) though and that song has never been mentioned!
