Anya as a sister to Saranna?

General Name Discussion
1

I met a family today with six children, and being a loyal Nameberryite I promptly enquired their names. Their children are :

Saranna (sa-RANN-a)
[name]Nathan[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name].

The mother was expecting again, and she was telling me how her and her husband really love the name [name]Anya[/name] for the new baby, but she was worried about it sounding like part of Saranna. Saranna (11) doesn’t like her full name and always, always goes by [name]Sadie[/name], apparently … anyway, I told her that I thought it would be fine, if they really loved it.

I’m most likely not going to see her again, but I was wondering what other Nameberryites thought?

Hmm . . .

[name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Bethany[/name]
[name]Catriona[/name]
[name]Delia[/name]
[name]Elle[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Maren[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Patience[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]

[name]Abraham[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Eben[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]/[name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Gareth[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Lemuel[/name]
Matthais
[name]Peter[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Vincent[/name]

I think [name]Anya[/name] would be okay as they call their daughter [name]Sadie[/name]. [name]Anke[/name] reminds me a lot of [name]Anya[/name].

I think [name]Anya[/name] would be fine, especially since the other sister is going by [name]Sadie[/name].
