Looks like it's meant to be Annalise?
It's pretty but a child would have to spell it out every time.

There's also a suburb of Croydon called Anerley.

TurquoiseRose · 17/04/2017 10:07

Well, we could go for Anneliese on the BC.

Annelie... Where I'm from it simply means little Anna(Anne).

I personally dislike it, tbh.

But I do like Annaliese and Anna Lisa...

Swearwolf · 17/04/2017 10:08

Isn't it usually spelt anneli? I like it but I think it will get confused with amelie quite easily - written down the double n looks similar to an M and amelie is so very popular.

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 17/04/2017 10:09

Oops, missed that update.

I really like Annaliese nn Annelie :)!

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 17/04/2017 10:10

Or Anneliese. Shoot... My comments are a mess Blush

PaperdollCartoon · 17/04/2017 10:10

Looks like you couldn't spell Amelie. She'll spend her whole life correcting people.

TurquoiseRose · 17/04/2017 10:11

I do prefer Annelie though... It means more to us, but if it will be too much of a pain, we would go with Anneliese.

Makes me think of Amielle vaginal dilators!

countycouncil · 17/04/2017 10:14

A bit too similar sounding to Anally - as in Anal

Chasingsquirrels · 17/04/2017 10:14

My friend had an Annelie, with that spelling.
I'd never heard of it before.
I think it's a really pretty name.

carben · 17/04/2017 10:20

Had a friend at school in the 70's called Anneli. Have never met another one. I think it's german (not entirely sure) but she was most definitely Welsh. She lived up to its uniqueness too and loved being different. Would not have bothered her one jot to keep correcting people. Although I don't remember it happening that often. Confident and sassy is how I remember her.

TurquoiseRose · 17/04/2017 10:22

We're Swedish, but live in London.

Chasingsquirrels · 17/04/2017 10:23

Yeah, my friend is half Swedish - but lives in a village in East Anglia.
She's never mentioned having problems with her daughters name.

60percentofthetime · 17/04/2017 10:24

How are pronouncing it (if any different from the obvious)? Unfortunately all I see is Anally, as countycouncil said

AgentCooper · 17/04/2017 10:24

I know an Anneli, it's a lovely name.

daisypond · 17/04/2017 10:25

Annelie is a normal name. I'm surprised that people haven't heard of it. It's more "standard" than Amelie, to me. It's a nice name, so go for it if you like it. Though you may get people spelling it as Anna-Lee or Anna-Leigh, so be prepared for that.

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 17/04/2017 10:33

daisypond
I have heard of the name (one of my grandmothers is from Sweden). But I still don't like it as a given name for the bc.

I prefer Anneliese.

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 17/04/2017 10:34

Mybe because the "li" ending usually just means little in Swiss German...

Idk. But that probably doesn't really matter to a Swedish person or somebody living in the UK, I must admit Wink

SuperBeagle · 17/04/2017 10:39

I have a family member named this.

Everyone misspells and mispronounces it constantly.

It shits her mother to no end. They went with a very well known and easily spelt/pronounced name for their second (think James for a boy, or Grace for a girl).

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/04/2017 10:44

I love Annelie, it's so pretty and different.

AmysTiara · 17/04/2017 10:46

I like it. I like Annelise too.

Sophronia · 17/04/2017 12:07

It's lovely. Anneliese is beautiful too.

IrregularCommentary · 17/04/2017 12:12

I absolutely love it OP. I wanted Annelie for my dd. Dh vetoed it, but I think it's beautiful.

I once worked with an Annelie as well and I'm not aware she had any issues with people being confused about her name.

Saying that, Anneliese was also very high up on my list. I think we have similar taste!
