Names similar to Anna?

Expecting dd3 and I love Anna. Dp likes it but isn't completely on board.

Does anyone have any suggestions for similar sounding names that we might both like? So far I have come up with Anya and that's it!

Oh, how about Sarah? I know every other girl born in the 70s is a Sarah, but it's actually a very pretty name I think, and not so popular now.

Sarah is nice maroon. It has the same unfussiness as Anna.

Emma feels a bit dated to me. I don't know why because I know it's still a very popular name. Probably because there were a lot of Emma's at my school.

I love Sara but can't use it because it's the name of a family member.

We have one and two other daughters. These are a mixture of their names and ones that we're on a list. I know they don't sound like Anna but it was maybe more of the same kind of "feel" if that helps?

wiggles our tastes are obviously very similar. You have dd1's name and about 90% of our shortlist in there Grin

Kate is really nice! I like Katie too.

OddShoe Grin tbh Anna is my absolute favourite. Although it never came up at all when we were naming her older sisters, as soon as it was mentioned for dd3 that was it.
