I love Anna because it is simple, pretty, classic and gives no hints as to her background (i.e. it is niether poncey or "chav). I want a similar name for DD2 (due soon).
My first choice would be Rose or Rosa but that is a no-no due to our last name.
I just can't find the right name. I wanted another shortish name but can't find one I like. As you can see below I have reservations about every name on my current shortlist, I like them all but don't love them. Help! This is so hard.
Catherine (bit I fear Anna and Catherine is a little dull)
Sophia (not so classic?)
Alexandra (will be shortneded to Alex, too boyish?)
Isabella (not sure about Izy)
Ella (too "now")
Julia (too 80s?)
