A name as fabulous as Anna

I have an Anna and love her name. I can't find another which feels as right.
Something classic, timeless and international.
Possibly like Lucia or Maria.
Any ideas? Thanks

How old is your Rose littlechristmastree? You are talking me into it!

How about Rosa?

Or Lucy is more like Anna than Lucia to me. Also Laura, Mary, Helen, Jane, Chloe or Zara could work?

She is 5. She is the most beautiful and kind and lovely little girl there ever was and ever will be ;) I love her name it just suits her so much. Try saying it 100 times- it gets more beautiful every time!

Thanks again all. Lucy is perfect but is Anna's middle name! June is gorgeous but doesn't work with their brother's name.

Hope this helps, but the Anna's I know have sisters called:

Billie
Cecilia
Jessica
Willa

Mrsknackered · 10/01/2018 22:34

Ps I love Rose, and the two I know have never been Rosie.

MrsEl · 10/01/2018 22:35

Love Rose. Rosa is on my baby list.

Other suggestions-
Edith
Sophia
Hallie
Luna
Beatrice
Ada

DeathMetalMum · 10/01/2018 22:35

Emma - lovely name would have used it for either Dd''s except we have a niece called Emma.

Rebecca
Kate/Katherine
Lauren
Helen
Alice
Hannah
Sarah

DeathMetalMum · 10/01/2018 22:36

Oops really didn't read the op properly. Anna and Hannah definitely a no!

MamaDoGood · 10/01/2018 22:38

Would definitely go with 'Rosa' as previously suggested!

Inthedeepdarkwinter · 10/01/2018 22:38

Anna and...Elsa (only joking!)

Another voice for Rose. No Rose I know is called Rosie. Rose is a beautiful classic name, just like Anna.

TatianaLarina · 10/01/2018 22:40

Cara is my fav, Anna and Cara is lovely.

I’d prefer Rosa rather than Rose.

shinysinkredemption · 10/01/2018 22:55

Dorothy just popped onto my head!

SmilingButClueless · 10/01/2018 23:01

If you liked Maria, how about Marina?

Or Rosalind shortened to Rose - might avoid the Rosie lengthening

Twooter · 10/01/2018 23:01

May’s no where near as pretty asAnna. It seems a bit bland when you’re really looking for a much better name. It’s definitely a middle name, not a first name.
