Anneliese vs Anastasia

[GoodJanet]

We’re looking for a long name for Annie.
I don’t like Annabel, as it’s a bit little-girly, and I find both Anne/Anna slightly boring.

We’ve narrowed it down to Anneliese or Anastasia.

I prefer the former, dh the latter, and we’ve reached an impasse. Any opinions?

I like Anastasia myself.

I love them both. Anneliese is pretty, Anastasia is a bit more sassy.

I think Anastasia has her head screwed on and is quite smart, but in no way geeky.

Anneliese is also clever, but a bit more of a quieter character.

But whichever you choose will suit your DD because the name will mould to her.

Anastasia, pronounced Anna-stay-sia, for me.

Another vote for Anneliese, beautiful name!

I almost called dd2 Annie and that would have been the name on the birth certificate. Why not just use that?

Do you like Marianne nn Annie?

I love Anneliese, I wanted it for DD but exP was not having it. I have only met one too who must be about 16.

Anastasia.

Don't like Anneliese, and I think it would be spelt every which way.

Anneliese
