Hi

DC2 is due any day now and we have chosen Anna as a first name for a girl, but am struggling to come up with a middle name, so far, have -

Anna Catherine
Anna Elizabeth
Anna Caitlin
Anna Isabel
Anna Harper

(last one is a bit of curve ball I know but I LOVE surnames as first names, but DH has vetoed.

Would welcome any suggestions??

Haven't you got a family name you could use?

Anna Catherine is my favourite from your list

fiestabelle · 21/11/2009 14:32

Dont really have a family name, and kind of want to avoid that anyway as could see it causing all sorts of offence if we used a name from one side, only want one middle name, thanks for suggestions so far.

Anna Elizabeth is lovely. What about your maiden name? Would it work? Or your mother's maiden name?

belgo · 21/11/2009 14:35

Anna Sophia is lovely.

fiestabelle · 21/11/2009 14:43

My DDs middle name is Jacqueline (her first name is almost identical to Anna with an extra letter )

Catherine and Elizabeth are lovely names, also how about Caroline? I think Anna flows well with a longer middle name.

Love Anna Harper.

Thanks to all who have replied, had unexpected visitors this afternoon hence why I'm just back online now. Am now thinking maybe Anna Kate, have always loved the name Kate, but more as first name, but as this will def. be last baby, maybe I should just choose my two favourite names, but keep thinking that Anna sounds better with a longer middle name - its so hard!!

Anna Kate
Anna Christabel

Ronaldinhio · 21/11/2009 21:08

seriously

how many times do i need to say banana

?

fiestabelle · 21/11/2009 21:11

Ronaldinhio, would you believe that it also DH's most suggested middle name, no wonder I'm on mumsnet trying to get help! Strange thing is, I've started saying it in a kind of affectionate way to the bump, so lets hope it doesnt stick
