Annalise

[Sanjifair]

How would you pronounce this?

I like names containing Anna, and my DP and I both like Elise and Eloise, but I don't like Ellie as a nn, which is kind of inevitable.

So Annalise would be nice, but I've only known it as a German name where it has been pronounced
Ann a lis er. I don't like the 'er' on the end, but like it pronounced Ann a lise, I.e as you would pronounce Elise.

What do people think?

I would pronounce it anna-leece. Lovely name btw. Although she may well be known only as Anna to her friends.

Anna-leese.

Anna-leese as above.

The German variation is usually spelled Annaliese, and pronounced Anna-leeza.

Good! It's a definite possibility (if we have a girl that is).

Anna-leese.

As long as it's not Anna Lice!

Anneliese is my sister's name - the German spelling (our dad is German) is Anneliese but we've always pronounced it Anna-leese. She is in her thirties and always gets compliments on her name :)

Nicknames vary from Anna, Annie to Leesey.

I really like it but please spell it Anneliese. If you start doing weird things to the spelling it's a bit 'neighbours'. which is fine, there have been a million characters over the years, you can't rule out any name that 's been on neighbours. But still, just spell it the original way (please)

oh, I didn't answer your question! annaleez

My dd is Annalise, everyone except her German uncle calls her annaleese he goes with annalisa.

We gets lots of compliments on her name and we've not met another one yet.

We know a baby Annalise, very pretty name.

Anna-leese.

It's lovely.

I also love names containing Anna.

We spent ages deliberating between Anneliese and Annabel for DD. Love them both.

We plumped for Annabel and I'm glad as it suits DD so much

. Agree about the spelling though.

Oh yes sorry

Anna leece

Love it.

Anna-lees. Never heard of Anna-lees- r.

I have an Estonian friend called Anneliis.

I know a Scouser called Annaliese, and we pronounce it Anna-leece. Very pretty and makes a nice change!

I love the name. My first ever netball coach was called Annalise (maybe Annaliese?) I was eight and she was a sixth former who was very kind and always bought the team lollies so naturally I adored her and tucked the name away for future use! Not the question you were asking but I just wanted to say I admire the name.

It was pronounced Anna-leese (like lease as in lease a property)
