A name as fabulous as Anna

I have an Anna and love her name. I can't find another which feels as right.
Something classic, timeless and international.
Possibly like Lucia or Maria.
Any ideas? Thanks

I think you have to accept that Anna is the best name Smile. Cara is pretty brilliant too though. I also like Tess.

I have a Maria (in my country "good families" name their children after queens/kings and saints).

It's a fab name; we are a multicultural family, live in the UK, travel a lot and have lived in many countries and her name works well everywhere!

Emma fits the bill, as does Sara.

If I'd had girls instead of boys I'd probably have had an Anna & an Emma.
