If we have a girl she will either be names Alice or Anna, but we are struggling with a middle name, can you help us decide?

Alice Eleanor
Alice Elosie
Anna Charlotte
Anna Eloise
Anna Sophia

Alice Eleanor - okish
Alice Elosie - okish
Anna Charlotte - no
Anna Eloise - quite nice
Anna Sophia - lovely.

Although with Anna Sophia if your surname begins with an S her initials will be ASS.

Jollytots34 · 05/08/2023 07:28

Luckily my surname does not begin with an S.

Know it’s not an option but Alice Charlotte is lovely

Of those you’ve written I like Anna Charlotte and Anna Sophia.
But Alice Anna also goes well.

Anna Sophia

Anna Sophia ❤️

@GreenAventurine I did actually have Alice Charlotte down but didn't think it rolled of the tongue as well as the others. I do love both names though X

Alice Eleanor - Al- El- a bit too much, but middle names aren't used much
Alice Elosie - is that meant to be Elodie or Eloise? Not keen on either of them
Anna Charlotte - great
Anna Eloise - Annuh Reloise
Anna Sophia - not keen on the -a -a repetition

Alice Charlotte or Anna Charlotte. Prefer Alice but both fine.

Kaamos · 05/08/2023 12:02

Anna Sophia

Theoldwoman · 05/08/2023 13:35

Umm a mix of both.

Alice Charlotte.

Why do you need it to roll off the tongue? Nobody ever uses their middle names!

Jollytots34 · 05/08/2023 13:45

Thank you, so helpful. So we've narrowed it down, Alice Charlotte is back on the list and this will be her name if she looks like an Alice. But if she looks like an Anna it's between Anna Charlotte and Anna Sophia?

Alice Charlotte
Anna Sophia

@Qbishy , some people do use their middle names.

@Qbishy , some people do use their middle names.

Really? Along with their first names? Not just a first name that is two names?

MerryChristmasToYou · 05/08/2023 14:02

Yes. When I was at school, anyone with a very popular name would be called by first and middle name, unless they had an unusual surname.
Something like Sarah Catherine, Sarah Louise, Sarah Jarvis. The only problem was that most of them were Sarah Jane.

babysharkdoodoodedoodedoo · 05/08/2023 14:08

My favourite names on the list are Eleanor, Alice Charlotte and Eloise. Anna and Sophia are nice but a bit dull to me.

I don’t think the name combinations flow very well, though. Alice Eleanor is my two favourite names together, but are a little difficult to say. Not TOO difficult, but another name would flow better and be easier to say.

Anna Charlotte and Anna Sophia flow best.

I think I’d choose Alice Charlotte or Eleanor Charlotte or Eloise Charlotte purely because Charlotte flows best as a middle name and the others are my favourite first names.

salamithumbs · 05/08/2023 18:42

Anna Sophia is my favourite! Then Anna Charlotte, then Anna Eloise. Not a fan of Alice!

midsomermurderess · 05/08/2023 18:49

Alice Eleanor; Anna Eloise.

shoopshoopdedoo · 05/08/2023 19:11

Alice Charlotte is my favourite. Anna Sophia or Anna Charlotte are also lovely.

user1492757084 · 06/08/2023 05:42

All are lovely names - some combos are harder to say.
Rated just for the ease of sound ..

Alice Eleanor 9/10
Alice Charlotte 8/10
Alice Leonor 10/10
Alice Catherine 10/10
Anna Charlotte 10/10
Anna Sophia 10/10
Anna Eloise 10/10

Do you want Anna or Alice to be the first name?
Second names are rarely said.

Longdarkcloud · 06/08/2023 22:26

My favourites Anna Alice or Alice Anna.
I prefer3 names so you could add any one of your other names eg Anna Alice Charlotte
