Best wishes!
Wow Dearest,that was a very well thought out reply thank you. I really love [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cecile[/name](I actually thought of this one since I posted so thats a happy coincidence).[name]Anna[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] could be another contender if you know someone called anna [name]Elizabeth[/name].I also love [name]Anna[/name] [name]Wyn[/name] It’s very different and your right I [name]DO[/name] like [name]Anwen[/name] even though I never thought about it before.[name]Anna[/name] [name]Sylvie[/name] is so sweet ,I also like [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cybele[/name] ,is this French in origin?Is the cy pronounced [name]Si[/name] as in [name]Simon[/name] or si as in [name]Sibyl[/name]?I also loved [name]Anna[/name] [name]Delphi[/name] is this related to [name]Delphine[/name] which is also georgeous.My last name is [name]Deane[/name] so which would you opt for do you think.Again,this was a big help thanks.I had to come back to add I also love the friendliness of [name]Anna[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] .WDYT?
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Camille[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
I really like [name]Anna[/name] Cecille that was previously suggested
Thanks Sprout ,yes [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cecile[/name] has really nice sound to it,hasn’t it.
[name]Cybele[/name] is Greek I think, I pronounce it like in [name]Sibyl[/name] which I think it is related to, but I know some pronounce it like in [name]Simon[/name] (sigh-[name]BELL[/name]). It means ‘the mother of all gods’ and was a Greek goddes of fertility, health and nature. 
[name]Anna[/name] C”cile is a wonderful combination, so unexpected and spunky while graceful and pretty. Would age very well I think! And [name]Anna[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] is lovely, but i fear that would just lead to [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cate[/name] which is a very expected combo.
[name]Both[/name] [name]Anna[/name] [name]Delphi[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] are gorgeous! [name]Delphi[/name] and [name]Delphine[/name] are not related though, [name]Delphi[/name] is for the Oracle of [name]Delphi[/name] in Greek mythology while [name]Delphine[/name] means ‘dolphin’ XD
I prefer [name]Delphi[/name] myself, but [name]Delphine[/name] is also lovely!
I think with the last name [name]Deane[/name] I’d steer away from short D names like [name]Delphi[/name]/[name]Delphine[/name]. A longer one would work though, like [name]Delilah[/name] or [name]Delaney[/name].
I think I’d go with [name]Anna[/name] C”cile or [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cybele[/name] because the stress is on the last syllable on both of those, and together with your last name that makes the flow sound slightly better [name]IMO[/name].
And I also notice that the names you like the most in the middle are either French or Greek, so maybe you could use that as a reference point for further looking?
I’m glad I helped, and I’d be more than happy to look some more for you!
These first suggestions are all part of my too long list of unique names so it wasn’t much trouble to find them at all to be honest! Unexpected is my area of expertise when it comes to names!
I thought of a couple more for you from the French names on Nameberry, but you may not like them all, I just included them for the rhythm:
[name]Anna[/name] Ma”lle (ma-[name]ELLE[/name])
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Mireille[/name] (meer-AY)
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Maybelle[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Calais[/name] (ca-[name]LAY[/name])
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Ciel[/name] (see-[name]ELLE[/name])
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Faye[/name]/[name]Fae[/name]/[name]Fay[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Jolie[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Lilou[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] Milou
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Lucy[/name] (or [name]Anna[/name] [name]Lucia[/name])

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Noel[/name]/[name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Roselle[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] Z”lie
I’ll look some more later, but right now I have to make pancakes for 10 people so it won’t be within the hour so to speak! ^^

My favorites are starred.
To [name]Rollo[/name],Yes I agree [name]Anna[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] is beautiful and [name]Anna[/name] [name]Ciel[/name] ,although I would find [name]Ciel[/name] too literal for a name.Dearest ,you have even more terrific ideas I like [name]Anna[/name] [name]Zoe[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] [name]Ismay[/name] but the latter may be a little too different.[name]Petra[/name] as a name on it’s own is gorgeous I think but dh not in agreement.I must ponder [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cecile[/name] further.[name]Even[/name] [name]Cecile[/name] [name]Deane[/name] is lovely ,[name]Do[/name] you think?Thanks
again for your great thoughts and advice.
Thanks for your reply Irisrose,I like [name]Anna[/name] beatrice really lovely I also like [name]Anna[/name] [name]Violet[/name] but it’s not really my style.[name]Anna[/name] [name]Eve[/name] makes me think of ann’s naive.Thanks again.
I love [name]Anna[/name] [name]Kate[/name], [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name]! So beautiful.
I also like [name]Anna[/name] [name]Claire[/name] a lot
[name]Anna[/name] is a beautiful choice classic and always in style
across the board
I like: [name]Anna[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Maya[/name]. On a sidenote what about first name Anamara?
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Freya[/name]/frejya
[name]Anna[/name] beatrix
[name]Anna[/name] jade
[name]Anna[/name] blakesley
[name]Anna[/name] claire
If you’re using two names for the first name, I’d say go with two one syllable names. Most ppl will just call her by [name]Anna[/name] I think
To Clear83, Thanks for your ideas.Anamara is an interesting one .Where does this originate from?[name]How[/name] is it pronounced.?
People close to me seem to prefer [name]Anna[/name] [name]Rose[/name] compared to [name]Anna[/name] [name]Kate[/name].The general concensus on nameberry seems to be for [name]Anna[/name] [name]Kate[/name] and I wonder is that because [name]Rose[/name] is seen as too common as a second name at the moment?I personally like the two and find it hard to pick one over the other.Another interesting name I found on Dearests post last night was Lydianna.Since I think [name]Lydia[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] are both such beautiful names maybe this a possibility. So Lydianna [name]Deane[/name] any opinions on this one?
