I am currently pregnant with my second DD and am struggling for names. I really like Marianne and Alannah but they are too similar to Anneka, who goes by Annie most of the time.

When I was pregnant the first time I also had Harriet and Evelyn on my list, which I do like am just wary of knowing a few of both that theymay be popular and I'm not sure they really go with Anneka.

I also like Astrid, Ariadne, Lois and Sara but none seem right somehow.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I don't really think Marianne, Alannah, Evelyn, Harriet, Sara or Lois go very well with Anneka. Something with a little more kick / not so plain would go better. Some suggestions would be:
Katerina
Valentina
Heidi
Scarlett
Tiana
Elise
Helena

Ah I love Anneka, it was top of our list for our second but we had a boy. Our first is called Heidi if that's any good to you, I think they work well together.

I think there’s a famous sibling set of Anneka and Anoushka?
Could be mother & daughter.

I like Evelyn with Anneka.
