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?

I have a Joseph who would have been a Lucy if he'd been a girl. I love both those names.

Hyphenated names I'm not keen on, so Lucy with Ann as a middle name wouldn't be a problem at all for me as it would rarely be trotted out in one mouthful (plus I don't really think it sounds like Lucian because of the 'un' sound that another poster mentioned).

I love Beatrice but our surname begins with bea so it just doesn't sound right.

[Trazzletoes]

Ooh Phoebe and Beatrice were on the list too. I would have had Lucy too if I could.

I have a Joseph, and DD's middle name is Ann you have good taste...

Names I loved but wasn't allowed include:
Emily
Xanthe
Charlotte

I know a sibset Joseph and Susannah which has the Ann for your mum. Then you get to choose another middle name.

Befor I even opened the thread I thought 'Annabel'.

Do you like the alternative spelling of Lucie?

We have a Joseph too. Our girl names for DS2 were Lucy, Esme and Eleanor.

Though Esme seems to be really popular these days, as does Ellie which I suppose Eleanor would end up abbreviated to.

I think Lucy Ann is great and didn't think Lucian at all.

I love the name Lucy Ann, all the charming, witty, sophisticated girls are called Lucy
I'm planning on using Anne for a middle name too after 2 granny's possibly Beatrice Ann...

The 'e' sound works well with ann.

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.

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

[mrsb83]

Great minds.

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

Lucy-Ann sounds way too much like Lucian

Meredith
Helena
Catherine
Charlotte

Any of those take your fancy, OP?
