Elle, Anna, Lana or Tamsin?

My OH loves Elle but it doesn't really go with our surname so not 100% sure.

What do you think about the others? Are they a bit boring?

Tamsin!!!! Elle is nice, but I’d avoid a name that doesn’t go with your surname. Not a fan of Lana at all. Anna is ok but nothing really special.

My favourite is Tamsin

ABCFamily · 10/05/2018 17:15

Tamsin or Anna.

marine04 · 10/05/2018 17:12

Anna

Tamsin is on our list because I like the nickname Tammy. All nice names, although Elle is a bit popular.

somanyfeministsthesedays · 10/05/2018 12:42

Tamsin.

gwen25 · 10/05/2018 12:40

Love Anna.

blackteasplease · 10/05/2018 09:18

I like Anna or Tamsin.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/05/2018 09:14

Anna without contest.

The other names don't even begin to measure up

Littlemum2be86 · 10/05/2018 08:14

Love Lana! Anna is lovely and classic as well.

Don’t love Elle and not a fan of Tamsin. Seems a bit middle-aged to me

RedDwarves · 10/05/2018 02:14

Love Anna, like Lana.

Also find Elle bland, and not a fan of Tamsin, which always sounds like a muddled Tasman to me.

Buntysoven · 09/05/2018 23:18

I like Tamsin but prefer Tasmin to stop the Tammy nn. Tas is cool!

bridgetreilly · 09/05/2018 22:49

Anna or Tamsin.

Lana is okay. Elle is very blah.

MikeUniformMike · 09/05/2018 21:46

Tamsin, as it is more unusual. Anna is lovely, Lana is nice but makes me think Wooly, and Elle is a bit nothingy. You could have Dee, Kay and Emme and Jay too.

thetriangleisarealinstrument · 09/05/2018 20:50

Lana, Elle and Tamsin are lovely and Anna is nice but i do personally think it is a little boring... unless it could be a shortening of a longer more interesting name?

Think Tamsin is my fave out of what youve suggested.

tigerrun · 09/05/2018 20:47

Lana, I also like Luella, Lara & Lois (big fan of the L names here!)

Nelly1727 · 09/05/2018 20:46

Love Anna

Ellieboolou27 · 09/05/2018 20:44

Anna - almost called my dd this love it.
Ellen is much nicer than Elle which is what we ended up calling dd Wink it means beautiful light

Uniglo18 · 09/05/2018 20:36

Anna

BeautyAndTheBrat · 09/05/2018 20:30

Anna

NovaArt3mis · 09/05/2018 20:30

I'm biased as I have an Elle and love it.
The 'boring/She in French is meaningless' opinion doesn't bother me but if it would upset you maybe stray away from it. To me, Elvis Costello's 'She' shows that the word is anything but unimaginative.

bloomsburyer · 09/05/2018 20:29

Love Anna and Lana.

I vetoed Lana for our daughter due to the anal thing..

MrsH1990 · 09/05/2018 20:21

I Love the name Lana,
Anna is my name :) good choice :P

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 09/05/2018 19:49

I like Anna and Lana

Lara?

DramaAlpaca · 09/05/2018 19:47

I love Tamsin & Anna.
