I like Annie

Tillygetsit · 07/07/2019 22:31

I love names with Anne/Anna on the end like Roseanne Rosanna Susanna Marianne etc

rosybell · 07/07/2019 22:48

Annie is lovely

Anna or Annie.

Agree with pp on Marianne though. One of my all time favourite names.

AnonymousP · 07/07/2019 22:58

I think all but Ariana feel like a clear nod to Anne. Personally I love Anna.

Anna. It sounds strong. Or as PP says, Rosanna, Susanna etc

Ellmau · 08/07/2019 00:20

Anna if it's the first name, Anne for a middle name.

Ploppymoodypants · 08/07/2019 00:29

Love all of them. But Anna is my favourite. A real timeless classic

Babymamamama · 08/07/2019 00:30

Anna

Mamagin · 08/07/2019 00:32

Definitely Anne. With an E.
Then she can pick any of the other names as a nickname.
