"....anna" names

15 replies

Am a regular(ish) but have namechanged for obvious reasons. Just a quick straw poll - if, hypothetically, your name was Anna, would it be odd to choose a name for DD that ended in "anna", e.g. Susannah, Rosanagh? We ruled out all "anna" names last time round, but am struggling with girls' names and am quite drawn to these...

I don't think so - Rosanagh doesn't sound too similar and is very pretty in its own right.

You probably wouldn't shorten the 'anna' names to Anna, would you? So I can't see it would be a problem.

I think it's fine.

PixieOnaChristmasTree · 21/12/2009 16:13

Aren't you going for something, erm, slightly more Swedish ?

meggymegmegs · 21/12/2009 16:43

I don't think it's a problem at all.

Anya4 · 21/12/2009 19:16

Not a problem at all in my opinion

Pixie - did you think it was me...? No it's not.

Darn it. . .My not-so-super-sleuthing really is bad!

Sorry OP!

Still go for the Anna names, though. . .

Rosannagh with a gh!? |Roseanna is a little too much sweetness and girlieness. i like Rosemary more. Even though i like anna more than mary.

I think Susannah is nice. with nn Susie.

MistleSnowMonster · 21/12/2009 20:26

Hasn't been much of a problem for Hannah Montana

thanks for replies - glad nobody seems to think this is an issue, and glad my cover wasn't blown...!

Alanna?
Anastasia?

No problem with the -anna ending, imo, or at the start either.
