How would you spell a name

that's roughly pronounced ahnn-eh-lee?

Sort of like Amélie but with an N-sound instead of an M-sound and the emphasis on the first syllable and not the last.

I met someone named this today and thought it sounded nice but didn't get a chance to ask about the spelling.

Annaleigh was my old housemate and that is similar.

Anna-Lee

Anneli - as in Anneli the Art Hater, a children's book by Anne Fine

Annalee

NerdyBird · 24/11/2022 21:09

Anneley or Annerley

Anneli - always liked the name. Had someone at my school with this name, and she was a lovely person.

Annele - a South African colleague was called this but it was pronounced slightly more like anna-LAY.
Lots of people put the strees as ANNA-lay though and she didn't seem to mind!

RuthW · 24/11/2022 21:35

Annaleigh is the one I know.

Ikeatears · 24/11/2022 21:39

I know of an Annalee

fairycupcakes · 24/11/2022 21:43

Anneli - at least that’s what someone I once knew is called and how she spelt it. She was Swedish I believe! Pretty name.

Smogtopia · 24/11/2022 22:05

Annelie is the sp of my relative with sane prononciation

Firebird83 · 24/11/2022 22:45

Anneli or Annelie

YourWinter · 24/11/2022 22:54

Anneli

Lcb123 · 24/11/2022 22:58

as in, Anerley (area of south London) 😂 hopefully not

yikesanotherbooboo · 24/11/2022 23:01

Anneli , it's pretty.

Cheeseandabsolutelycrackers · 24/11/2022 23:02

Ana-Lee. So that the Ana is like they pronounce it in frozen, is that what you're going for?

InTheFutilityRoomEatingBiscuits · 24/11/2022 23:06

Pronounced correctly it is pretty but I can’t get past the Anally connotation

NCFT0922 · 24/11/2022 23:10

Anneli looks like Ann-Ellie to me.

Spookypig · 24/11/2022 23:12

I know Anneli and Anerley. I think they’re classier than Annalee or similar

Fivebeanchilli · 24/11/2022 23:13

Anneli is the only spelling I like.
The others look like clumsy anglicisations.

KitchenSupper · 24/11/2022 23:17

Anneli

DramaAlpaca · 24/11/2022 23:19

I know one whose name is spelled Annalie.

caroleanboneparte · 24/11/2022 23:23

Analie

NCFT0922 · 24/11/2022 23:25

caroleanboneparte · 24/11/2022 23:23

Analie

Anally 🙈🙈

Luredbyapomegranate · 24/11/2022 23:54

I think it’s originally Anneli - Scandinavian I think. Have a Google.
