Your help is appreciated! I’m 35 weeks and we still can’t decide on a name for our baby girl. Names on our list are:
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Norah[/name]
We’d like to use [name]Anne[/name] for a middle name as it’s a family name. I’m just not falling in love with any names! Big sister is [name]Ellie[/name]. Other name suggestions also welcome:)
I don’t love any of these names. [name]Isla[/name] is pretty, but doesn’t work with [name]Anne[/name] because it ends with A and [name]Anne[/name] starts with A. I’m glad to see you’re using a family name as a middle. My middle is a family name, and I love it.
[name]Ellie[/name] and…
[name]Rebecca[/name] [name]Anne[/name] (I just love [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Becca[/name], but I don’t like the double A problem)
[name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Adelie[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Waverley[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
The thing is, you need a name that doesn’t end in a, and something that you couldn’t tack an A onto at the end. (ex. [name]Christine[/name] --> [name]Christina[/name]) So it’s actually really tricky!
[name]Daisy[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Hillary[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Carly[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Queenie[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Carolyn[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
(now that I’ve said how hard it is, the names are just flowing!)
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Emery[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
Good luck finding the right name! Let me know if I can help anymore!
From your list, I’d pick [name]Norah[/name] - it’s so sweet, and would be lovely with an [name]Ellie[/name].
Some other suggestions:
[name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Lilah[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
[name]Ava[/name]
[name]Lacey[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Darla[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name]
[name]Calla[/name]
[name]Eden[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name]
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Anne[/name] is so pretty. I like the pp’s suggestion of [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Anne[/name].
I think [name]Norah[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name] go perfectly together!
I love [name]Claire[/name] [name]Anne[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] [name]Anne[/name]. So pretty! Someone suggested [name]Hillary[/name] [name]Anne[/name], I love that too. But being that I am [name]Hilary[/name], I may be be kind of bias. 
I love my name, though, I highly recommend it. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Esme[/name]/[name]Esmae[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Daisy[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Samantha[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Avery[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Everly[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Emily[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Kendra[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Renee[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Maybell[/name]/[name]Maebell[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Anne[/name] are some cute names too!
Another vote for [name]Norah[/name]! I also like [name]Isla[/name] a lot.
I love [name]Norah[/name] [name]Anne[/name]! I also would consider using [name]Anne[/name] as a first name. It is so classic and pretty and understated and pairs well with sister [name]Ellie[/name].
I love [name]Isla[/name]. But that is because it is my niece’s name. [name]Isla[/name] [name]Maple[/name]. I think [name]Isla[/name] [name]Anne[/name] goes well together.
[name]Norah[/name] is pretty.
The only one on your list that really works with [name]Anne[/name] for me is [name]Norah[/name]. [name]Norah[/name] [name]Anne[/name] is nice, I like it. The rest all sound… off with [name]Anne[/name] in the middle, so based on sound of combo alone I would pick [name]Norah[/name], though really none of them are GREAT with [name]Anne[/name], to me.
But based on which one I prefer, I like [name]Claire[/name]. I just think [name]Claire[/name] is so pretty in it’s simplicity and can definitely grow with a child to adulthood. That being said, [name]Claire[/name] [name]Anne[/name] is a bit mono to me.
If I were to suggest an alternative…
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is lovely. And [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] sound great together.
Can you use a variation of [name]Anne[/name]? [name]Claire[/name] Annaleise is really cute. Or what about Annaleise [name]Norah[/name]? That’s adorable.
[name]Mariel[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Amy[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name] [name]Anne[/name]

[name]Zoe[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Trilby[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name] [name]Anne[/name]

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
Your 1st daughter’s name is rather L heavy and with [name]Anne[/name] as a middle you probably need something that doesn’t end with an A and preferably doesn’t have a strong N sound either.
I like [name]Norah[/name]. [name]Norah[/name] [name]Anne[/name] sounds okay, but runs together a bit.
[name]Piper[/name]
[name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
I like [name]Norah[/name] from your list, and think [name]Norah[/name] [name]Anne[/name] sounds fine despite the fact [name]Norah[/name] ends with an A sound
I love a previous posters suggestion of [name]Anna[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] or even [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] [name]Claire[/name] work for me (I live in the South, ha!).
[name]Norah[/name] is my favorite from your list with mn [name]Anne[/name].
[name]Love[/name] [name]Norah[/name]. Or you could do [name]Eleanor[/name] with [name]Norah[/name] as a nick name
Okay, you like [name]Claire[/name], [name]Lauren[/name], [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Norah[/name]. Middle name [name]Anne[/name]. [name]Sister[/name] [name]Ellie[/name]. Is [name]Ellie[/name] short for something? What is her middle name?
Maybe you will love:
[name]Laurie[/name]/[name]Lori[/name] [name]Anne[/name] - she could go by her full name. I once babysat a girl named Lorianne.
I also knew girls at my high school named Rayanne and [name]Reanne[/name]. Could you use [name]Anne[/name] in the first name? [name]Breanne[/name], [name]Beth[/name]-[name]Anne[/name], [name]Julianne[/name], [name]Leanne[/name], [name]Luann[/name], [name]Ruthanne[/name], [name]Roxanne[/name], [name]Susanne[/name]/[name]Suzanne[/name]?
Some other names you might like:
[name]Faith[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]/[name]Adelyn[/name]/[name]Adalyn[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Linden[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Lucille[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Lulu[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
That was actually pretty difficult. I didn’t want to suggest anything too L heavy and close to [name]Ellie[/name] or anything that ended in an A.
Good luck!
I think [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name] are perfect for siblings!
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Anne[/name] works a bit better then [name]Isla[/name] [name]Anne[/name] though, I think, so that gets my vote.
