List for DD2

[blue22]

DD2 due in a few weeks. This is our list.
Vanessa
Lara
Anneliese
Naomi

Any thoughts or suggestions along these lines?
TIA

I really like Lara
Never hear it now

Lara

They're all lovely :) Naomi is my favourite, then Vanessa and Anneliese. Lara is lovely too but I'd use Larissa as full name, with Lara for short.

Do they all go nicely with your surname, and have you thought of middle names yet?

Vanessa! Due a comeback.

In the same vein, Melissa. Beautiful.

Like Naomi the best out of those. Lara is nice too.

Sisters of people I have known with those names include:
Tara
Yvette
Amy
Yvonne
Donna
Melanie

Naomi.

lovely names with the exception of Anneliese, which seems a bit pretentious somehow. Vanessa is my favourite

Naomi - love it!

I think I would go with Vanessa.

I like Lara the best.

Like Vanessa and Anneliese, both were on our list for DD1

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm leaning towars Lara. Our surname is simple, 2 syllable, starting with C (hard sounding C).
I also love Diana, but not sure I'm brave enough - what do you think of Diana?

I actually like Diana a LOT.

Very glam.

If bravery is the only thing stopping you then BE BRAVE - I predict this one is going to come back big time in the next decade (and then you'd be kicking yourself) - it's a lovely name.

I think they are all quite pretty. Anneliese is my favourite, although I prefer a simpler spellling of Annalise. Vanessa is a nice name, and I associate it with strong women. Lara is also nice and Naomi too. You have good taste.

Lara Anneliese would work as a fn/mn combo, or Lara Naomi?

Love Lara!

I love Lara and Naomi and think Vanessa is very pretty too

I'm not keen on Annalise or Diana

Diana is a lovely name, and there have been plenty of glamorous Dianas besides the Spencer girl. Surprising that the name hasn't been more popular over the last 50 years or so.

Naomi is nice when pronounced with the stress on the first syllable NAY-omi. Not so much when people say Na-OH-mi.

Vanessa is a beautiful name, but I think you need to be beautiful to carry it off!

i love Annaliese. i think it was Anne Frank's full name. also like Diana.
not to keen on Lara - prefer Tara.

I like them all apart from Anneliese which I find frilly-sounding.

Lara (Croft) tomb raider sorry.
Pretty name though.

I've known lovely one each of Vennessa Annalise and Naomi. The first must now be 55ish, Annalise was American and now 40 and Naomi an older teen so not common and all due a come back.

Sorry Diane/Diana are still Mum names like Sarah, Rachel, Claire and Susan. They were my school friends they are the DDs Mums'.

I agree that Diane is dated, but I think you'd find Diana was far less popular. The 2 names have quite a different vibe to me, despite only differing by one letter.

I don't like any in OP, sorry. I badly wanted Diana but out for complicated reasons (nothing to do with HH).
I esp. don't like Annaliese, I knew one that left bad taste in mouth, and too easy to spell/say wrong.

Lara :)

Diana is a lovely name, and underused these days - due a comeback.
