Can’t decide between 2

Hi, a couple of weeks ago I asked for triplet name suggestions and I have got 2 combination but I can’t decide what sounds best:
Anais, Leila and Violet
Edie, Leila and Violet

The middle names are probably going to be Rose, Reese and Raine but I’m still unsure

Well this was an education for me on how to pronounce anais!

I thought it was pronounced a-nays

Whoops!

TatianaLarina · 13/06/2019 16:20

Anaïs Rose by miles, although I like Violet too.

Reese is grim.

MikeUniformMike · 13/06/2019 11:56

Edie not Anais.

Owlbert · 13/06/2019 11:54

Anais! Only middle name I'm not keen on is Reese, but looks like you are going for an R theme. Edie would make a lovely middle name.

*Edie

PunkAssMoFo · 13/06/2019 11:01

Anais. Ed is is somewhat frumpy compared to the other two.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 12/06/2019 22:24

Prefer Edie with your names

WittyFool · 12/06/2019 22:06

Only just seen your updated - Anais is also beautiful

WittyFool · 12/06/2019 22:05

What about Leila Violet & Rose? All beautiful

Don’t like Rees and Rain sorry but I don’t think middle names really matter very much

Reese? As in peanut butter cups?
I think of it as a boys name.

Anais is going to be mispronounced by many people

BoomZahramay · 06/06/2019 13:23

How are you pronouncing Anaïs, OP?

Pinkvoid · 06/06/2019 10:53

Edie.

Astronica · 05/06/2019 06:41

I love both Anais and Edie and think either would match the triplet group well. I would choose the sophistication of Anais though in the end. Just don't put Raine with Violet.

Edith (Edie) love all your middle names and Violet and Leila. You have great taste in names and they all go perfectly together.

Fedoratheexploreer · 29/05/2019 00:05

Anais!

Heratnumber7 · 29/05/2019 00:04

An-eye-ees

Heratnumber7 · 29/05/2019 00:03

Anaïs, if you pronounce it correctly, is lovely. Too many people say "Annay".

Chocmallows · 28/05/2019 23:50

Edith (Edie)

Sophronia · 28/05/2019 23:43

Don’t go with Violet Raine. Makes me think of Purple Rain.

OhhMyLittleGirls I am worried about bullying, I’m hoping that if I go with Anaïs she will have 2 sisters to stick by her side in the case of bullying

OhhMyLittleGirls · 28/05/2019 18:47

Edie, Leila and Violet are brilliant OP!
Not keen on Anais. I know a lovely girl called Anais but she’s always correcting people that mispronounce her name and has had the nickname Anus which I’m guessing you probably don’t want Grin

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 28/05/2019 18:46

I like Anais but I’d say 80% can’t pronounce correctly. But I’m going for:-

Anais Raine, Laila Rose and Violet Reese
