[name_m]How[/name_m] would you pronounce [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]?
Like [name_f]Elise[/name_f] or [name_u]Lisa[/name_u]?
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you perfer the [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] spelling?
Also middle name is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] with a 3syllable last name - too much?
I think [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] should be pronounced like ah-nuh-lees-uh. I think if you want any other pronunciation then you should consider spelling it differently. [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] is a good spelling if you want it pronounced like [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-lise. What pronunciation are you wanting?
As for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] in the middle, I feel like the ending of [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] and the beginning of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are too similar for it to work well.
The sounds in [name_f]Ann[/name_f][eliese] and [[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]]beth are nearly the same.
I prefer [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] to be pronounced like [name_f]Elise[/name_f]. Some European countries such as Germany would pronounce it with an “uh” at the end. [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] looks odd to me and I don’t like the “[name_f]Anna[/name_f]” spelling options because they’re too close to the word “anal”. [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are very matchy and a bit too long with a three-syllable surname. Have you considered [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]?
I totally disagree with the above. [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] spelled like that is pronounced like [name_f]Elyse[/name_f] not lisa. At least in [name_u]America[/name_u]. I have known two of them and that’s they say their names. “An-nuh (softer than [name_f]Anna[/name_f] but still pronounced) lease” I know two of them and even the one who has significant [name_m]German[/name_m] ties says it like this.
I don’t prefer [name_f]Annelise[/name_f]. The lisa end which does seem more [name_m]German[/name_m] comes for the final vowel at the end (and not the extra e)! For example [name_f]Elke[/name_f] is pronounced [name_f]El[/name_f]-ka. On the other hand, in [name_u]America[/name_u] we don’t [name_m]Ely[/name_m]-sa we say E-lease for the name [name_f]Elyse[/name_f]. I think the American pronunciation is An-nuh-lease. If you it to sound like [name_u]Lisa[/name_u], put an a on the end.
I would not put an A in the middle; it opens up crude jokes.
I like [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] - spelled this way and pronounced with “lease” at the end. It’s one of my favorites!
I grew up with an [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] who said lees, not lees-uh. [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] is my preferred spelling, though there’s also Annelies like [name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_m]Frank[/name_m].
Agree with pp that [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] feels like it repeats sounds.
I pronounce it [name_f]Ann[/name_f]-uh-lease. That pronunciation seems to be the most common in the US. The other pronunciation is probably closer to the original [name_m]German[/name_m], though.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is a lovely name, but redundant when paired with [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], which is literally a smoosh of the names [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and [name_f]Liese[/name_f]. [name_f]Liese[/name_f] is a [name_m]German[/name_m] and Dutch diminutive for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. It’s like naming her [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Liz[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]…
I say ‘ann-a-leez-a’. I only like it spelt [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f].
I pronunce it [name_f]Ann[/name_f]-uh-lees
Definitely [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]. I say it with the “lease” at the end.
Definitely with “lease” at the end. The only spelling I’ve heard pronounced ahna-leas-uh is [name_f]Analisa[/name_f] (who btw has never gotten any crude jokes about her name despite the common nb fear of this).
