Name to go with Anna?

44 replies

pollyblue · 13/10/2008 22:25

Expecting twin girls - already have dd called Erin - and we've agreed on Anna as one name. I like several others but dh has vetoed them all so now I'm stumped and he's not got any ideas either!

Any suggestions? We'd like them to have different initials so nothing starting with A or E and nothing too flowery.

Thanks!

Good choices so far - dd has both those names!

I really like Lois and it seems to go nicely. Also, Lucy, Iris and Phoebe are all lovely names and would go well with your choices.

Oops didnt read properly sorry!

I thought you meant a middle name to go after Anna, and thought of May. Still a nice name for a twin for Anna though.

Congratulations!

Oops snowleopard & dinkymum - x-post!

Some great names so far (really like Jane and Leah). Maria is lovely with Anna too.

PS NotAnOtter I am impressed by your umlaut!

Mary / Maria are very traditional to go with Anna.

Otter - I did see your new boots thread and replied! but it disappeared. Unfortunately I'm off to bed now but we must talk boots soon.
