Not what you asked but I think Mari Elin goes nicely.

Both of your choices are lovely, but I think Elin is better than Anna

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 09/11/2018 13:34

Why not ask on the thread you already have??

Heratnumber7 · 09/11/2018 13:37

I prefer Mari Elin too.

lucieloos · 09/11/2018 13:39

Because Georgie I wanted to create a new thread with just these two names which we have narrowed it down to rather than all the other options as well. Hope that's ok!

Georgie is there a limit on how many threads we can have now?

I like Elin Mari.

lucieloos · 09/11/2018 13:40

I know a couple of colleagues whose daughters are called Mari and one of our nieces has Elin as a middle name which is kind of why we preferred it Elin Mari.

Both nice!

SallyWD · 09/11/2018 14:12

I love both

MrsChollySawcutt · 09/11/2018 14:14

Prefer Elvin Mari, as the other one is too similar to Anne-Marie.

Icklepup · 09/11/2018 17:49

Elin Mari

finallychangedmyusername · 09/11/2018 18:52

Both are lovely but i prefer Elin Mari.

Polkasq · 09/11/2018 19:00

Elin Mari.

yikesanotherbooboo · 09/11/2018 21:55

Elin Mari for me

TatianaLarina · 09/11/2018 22:00

I was going say Mari Elin too.

MikeUniformMike · 10/11/2018 13:31

Mari Elin.

MikeUniformMike · 10/11/2018 13:32

Elin Mair or Anna Mair flow better.
Elin Mair is lovely.

RavenWings · 10/11/2018 15:32

Elin is lovely, Anna is bland and overdone.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 10/11/2018 15:33

Anna

Nightmanagerfan · 10/11/2018 15:34

Won’t people spell her name Ellen? Ok if you don’t mind correcting it constantly

Catra · 10/11/2018 15:42

My name is Anna and I'm really glad my parents chose it. It's certainly not bland or overdone.

I like Elin too, but prefer the spelling Ellen. I doubt she'll thank you for giving her a name that people are bound to misspell.

Mari's lovely, but as a first name, not as a middle name as some people have suggested. Mari prefixed by another name sounds like a variation of the Kon Mari method!

cheeseoverchocolate · 10/11/2018 18:54

Love both. Would probably go for Anna as there are lots of Ellies around

lucieloos · 10/11/2018 19:45

We have chosen to spell it Elin as we are Welsh and live in Wales. I don't mind having to spell it out or correct people that could happen with lots and lots of different names.

I've never heard of the Kon Mari method so I'm sure that won't be an issue!
