Hi

Would like to hear your opinions on Anneliese - also re the spelling, is this the 'correct' spelling or would you go for another version.

Any similar suggestions welcome too.

Thanks

Annalisa, Annalise, Anneliese... lots of variations that end up pronounced the same way, Anna-Leese. Even with an A on the end, trust me, I know Grin

Anneli is not supposed to be pronounced Annalee, the li is like you would say the li in lit, if that makes sense? It's Scandinavian.

Beautiful name how is it pronounced?

Anneliese is the German spelling. It is a total grandmother name over there but from what Janoschi says it sounds like it's coming back - so out, it's in. It's a beautiful name.

Anneliese is the most attractive spelling IMO. Annalise makes me see 'anal'.

Anneliese is a very pretty name, it was my German grandmother's name.

Really, is Anneliese making a comeback in Germany? I thought it still was a very uncool, old fashioned name. My aunt is called this, pronounced Ann-eh-lee-seh. Not sure I like it, I prefer Anne or Anna.

I love the name. I vaguely remember the girl off Neighbours. Two of my favourite songs have the name Annalise in (spelt that way, both American bands) Now I have to listen to them!

Errrrm... only if you are German, which you are probably not, otherwise you wouldn't ask about the correct spelling?

pumpkinsweetie · 18/04/2012 09:46

My eldest is called this & i wouldn't really care about it being old fashioned as alot of names are nowadays but just re-hashed.
Atleast it is a pretty name which is not popular in the uk that is why i chose it- i cant stand 'simple' names like Emily, Katy, Claire etc as they are too common and too many people have those namesGrin
