Any thoughts on Anaïs?

[EmeraldCoast]

I?m looking for a strong but feminine name that isn?t Amelia (love it but know three Amelias). What do you think about Anaïs?

How about Anoushka?

Angharad
Annie
Anna
Anne
Ann-Marie
Anna-Mae
Angela

All what I would call 'strong'

I think OneLittleToddleTerror must have an Amelia.

What about Arianne?

DD has a chinese name so it's foreign but hopefully not unpronounceable.

By the way, bring it back to the original Anais. If I was told once it's an-nay-eese or an-nay, I would remember it. So I'd say go for it if you like it. I work in an office with lots of foreigners and some of their names are absolute tongue twisters!

I am with those that forever associate it with erotica, and will imagine you are a fan of Anais Nin.
