[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] is lovely & nice to honor your mom. However, I do think that it’s kind of too close to [name_u]Danny[/name_u]. It has the potential for the nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. And even if you don’t choose to call her [name_f]Annie[/name_f], the potential of it is too close for me. I also wouldn’t say that [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is boring, but it is really popular. I think it’d be gorgeous a mn though.
Here are my thoughts on the rest of your list:
Maria-I think it’s interesting, but I don’t know why I can’t get into it. I like [name_u]Marie[/name_u] more. [name_u]Maria[/name_u] just sounds kind of dramatic to me.
Nora-Beautiful. Simple, classic, smart & feminine but not frilly. [name_u]Perfect[/name_u] with [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] & [name_f]Isla[/name_f].
Elizabeth-I like it. It’s classic; maybe a little boring. It has a lot of cute nns. I love the nn [name_f]Tess[/name_f], but it’s sort of a stretch. [name_u]Danny[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f] & [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or [name_u]Daniel[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f] & [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] would be darling.
Lucia-So pretty & nice with your crew. [name_f]My[/name_f] only problem with [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] is that it has three different pronunciations. Seems like a headache.
Anastasia-Never did like the sound of this. It’s so heavy & dramatic. And also has the ‘Annie’ thing.
Julia-Not my absolute favorite name, but pretty & solid & really nice with your kids’ names.
Isadora-I think it might be too close to [name_f]Isla[/name_f]? Maybe not. I love [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], but [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] isn’t as pretty in my opinion. Less common though.
Beatrice-Aw, so sweet. It’s bright & just the right amount of bookish. Well known and old fashioned but not over done.
Heidi-Not into this one. I just don’t like the sound.
Annabel-Not bad; I prefer [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. Kind of too cutesy, but sweet. Still too close to [name_u]Daniel[/name_u].
Madeline-Some days I like it & some days it feels 90s to me. Either way, I think that the fact that this is sometimes said Mad-uh-lin & sometimes Mad-uh-line (I really prefer the latter) is kind of a pain. And I don’t like [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the nn [name_f]Maisy[/name_f] though!
Penelope-Love it. [name_u]Perfect[/name_u] with your crew & lots of fun nn options. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_f]Nellie[/name_f].
Sarah-I think it’s fine. Almost feels too 80s though.
Leonora/ Lenora-I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] & [name_f]Leora[/name_f], but for some reason this sounds darker & I can’t get into it. It is old fashioned & interesting though.
Leah-Sweet & simple. Nice choice.
