Which of the following do you think work best? We plan on her being known by the nn. Annie :)

Anna Blake
Liliana Dawn
Juliana Elise

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I'd go for Anna simply because I don't like nicknames that don't start with the same letter as the actual name.

Probably Juliana of those. Tho I don’t like Jules.

Anna on it’s own is really tedious.

What about Pollyanna?

Anna - or dare I say 'Annie' if that is what you want to call her.
With the other twpn she is likely to end up being Lili or Julie

I think you do have a certain amount of control over what others call her - for example, I know an Elizabeth known as Lily, I don’t suppose any of her little nursery pals know she’s really Elizabeth and once they move up to school ‘Lily’ will be established as her name. We do live in a place where pretty much the whole nursery class will move directly into the school next door though.

Anna

or you really run the risk of having a Jue or a Lil!

And Anna is miles nicer than either.

All I mean is that at home we will probably call her Annie. I think it will be nice for her friends to call her whatever comes naturally, no need to dictate. Only mentioned it as I was unsure whether nn Annie seemed too much of a stretch for Liliana/Juliana.

Anna

And, much as you'd like to, you won't be able to dictate what her little mates call her when she starts school.
