Little sister for Joseph

[mrsb83]

Hi all,
I'm looking for suggestions. I'm due a little girl in December. I would like her middle name to be Ann (after my mum) or possibly a double barrelled first name.
So far I have-
Lucy-Ann
Elsie-Ann
Lilly-Ann

But I don't love any of them.
Any suggestions?

Anne Marie
Joanne

What about Anna. It would be lovely with Joseph

Sophia!

Lovely ooh sound on both names!

Annalisa is nice. As is Annelisa ("Ann-UH-lisa").

Elizabeth goes with Anne, I think, as does Jemima. Basically a longer trad first name works with Anne as a middle name.

I wouldn't hyphenate, Ann is a good middle name.

I like all your suggestions, especially Lucy. My first thought though was Megan

Sarah Ann
Margaret Ann
Elizabeth Ann
Lydia Ann
Ruby Ann

My great grandmother was Mary-Ann, but Mary and Joseph might lead to a few awkward moments I guess.

Louise

I'm not a big fan of double barrelled names in general. What about it you went for something like :
Julianne
Susannah
Joanna
Rosanna
Marianne

Personally I'd go for Anna, but I'm biased , I think it lovely with Joseph (which was always on my boys names list)

Yes, I prefer wigglesrock's suggestion. Marianne is lovely.

Roxanne
Arianne
Alysanne
Suzanne

I wouldn't hyphenate, but that's just pesonal preference.

I like Verity Ann.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I love the name annalise but after teaching a child with that name for 2 years it's slightly put me off.
I think I'd prefer to have two separate names than add Ann e.g. Joanne etc.
I don't want to detract from Ann and its significance.
I love Elizabeth but we already have one in the family, same as sophie.
I quite like verity. I hadn't thought of it.
Keep them coming, thanks everyone x

Any of those take your fancy, OP?

Lucy-Ann sounds way too much like Lucian

I like Meredith and Eleanor.
I like charlotte but OH doesn't.

Eleanor

Wow x-post!

Hadn't considered that Lucy-Ann sounds like Lucian.
Now off my list as that is all I will hear. X

Great minds.

Oh it doesn't! Lucian is pronounced Lucy-un. It's different.

I have a Joseph too and if we have a girl her middle name will be Anne after both grannies. Girls' names I like are:

Julia
Eleanor
Sylvia
Lydia
Maria
Catherine
Charlotte
Helena

I realise names ending in 'a' are a bit clunky sounding with middle name Anne, but it doesn't put me off them - we wouldn't use the middle name very much.
