[name_f]Annie[/name_f] is probably my favorite girls names, Unfortunately it’s a bit rough with my last name. [name_f]Annie[/name_f]/anna sounds like the snake anaconda. [name_u]Anne[/name_u] is really choppy with my one syllable last name.
I’d like to hear any ideas for getting to [name_f]Annie[/name_f] that you all have; from the simple double barrel solution to even “it’s quite the stretch but…”
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] (any spelling)
[name_f]Angeline[/name_f]/Angeline/Angelica/other [name_u]Angel[/name_u]- names
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Roseanne[/name_f]/Rosanna
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
Any name with a strong “an” sound would work
These are some favourites!

Thank you.
My girl style is all over the map. I think I would probably end up with a simple, straightforward familiar/classic that is definitely feminine but not too frilly.
Other girl names I like are: [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (dh hates [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] but I think we could compromise with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f])
Tiffany? [name_f]Bethany[/name_f]? [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]?
Ok so some of these are a bit of a stretch and some might not match your style perfectly. But going with names that are feminine, mostly classic I’d suggest…

Dh and I are digging “[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]” right now. He doesn’t think [name_f]Annie[/name_f] is a good idea considering our last name. But it might eventually just happen. I love [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] just as much as [name_f]Annie[/name_f] so this name will probably work for us.
