Which do you prefer? We have to register tomorrow afternoon and we're down to the final two (which is a vast improvement of the ten combinations we had last week!) Any input would be most appreciated. Thank you.

I'm not sure the names go together - too many a's, but would say Olivia Iona out of the two, not keen on Anna

agree with ddf too, sorry!

I am the opposite 1 vote for Olivia Iona, or Olivia Anna.

SoupDragon · 01/10/2008 12:27

Neither. As DDF says, they're all lovely names but don't work together.

Anna Olivia, it flows better

mrsbabookaloo · 01/10/2008 12:26

I have to agree with DDF: maybe you can't decide because neither sound quite right with all those "a"s on the end.

All are lovely names though, and of course once your little one gets started in life, she will rarely use both names together, so don't let that affect your decision too much.

Anna Olivia is lovely.

Anna Olivia

Anna Olivia sounds lovely.

Olivia Iona is more of a mouthful.

Cies · 01/10/2008 12:23

I think Anna Olivia runs off the tongue better than Olivia Iona.

neither - sorry but all the names are lovely individually but imo don't work together..
Olivia Anne works but all names ending in a sounds awkward
