Still in the ttc stages for dc2 but dp and I are discussing names already (bit presumptuous maybe) but which of these do mumsnetters like?

Jessica Anna
Lydia Anna
Maisie Anna
Amelia Anna
Alicia (pronounced A-liss-ee-ya not al-ee-sha which I hate!) Anna

I think they are all beautiful names but none of them 'flow' when spoken aloud because each first name ends with a vowel.

You are obviously set on Anna for a middle name so perhaps a first name ending with a consonant would sound better - Caroline, Charlotte, Madeleine for example.

I agree - if you really want Anna then don't have the first name ending in 'a'.

Coffee1Sugar · 13/03/2013 18:37

Hmm yes I see what you mean. Anna was my twin sister who died so it's a definite!

Anna is lovely, but if you say your names aloud they just don't flow.

You need so etching more like
Juliet Anna
Catherine Anna
You don't realise how many girl's names end with 'a' until you start!

Sorry- my iPad goes off on tangents of its own! 'Something more like......'

Lydia is one of my all time favourite names, such a classy graceful name x

saintmerryweather · 13/03/2013 18:46

What about anna-maria? Then if its too painful to use anna everyday you could call her Ria or something similar as a nickname.

Coffee1Sugar · 13/03/2013 18:48

Lydia and Maisie are my favourites. But that'd be too much of a mouthful wouldn't it: Lydia Maisie Anna E-son (three syllable surname)...think I've answered that for myself Grin

You could have Anna Lydia and then just use Lydia for everyday.

exoticfruits · 13/03/2013 18:54

Or do you like Annabel?

Alicia. ...dont like Anna particularly though but sounds ok as a middle name.

Just beware of the AA initials. ...alcoholics annoymous link.

Letticetheslug · 13/03/2013 20:07

Anna (other names ended in a are available) leads into a second name

Anna Marie, Anna Jane, Anna Louise..

thezebrawearspurple · 14/03/2013 19:33

Emily Anna
Rosalind Anna
Isobel Anna
Charlotte Anna
Lily Anna
Seren Anna

Lydia Maisie Anna could work.
