[name_m]Hi[/name_m] ladies!
I have a little girl names [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and a son named [name_m]Grant[/name_m]. I’m more focused on a cute name to go with [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. I love timeless sounding names but also short and sweet sounding names as we have a longer last name. Also I’m trying to include my late [name_f]MIL[/name_f]’s middle name( also mine)
which is [name_f]Anne[/name_f]. The other issue is our last name initial is G so there’s some issues with bad initials with the A as a middle name! It seems a lot of the names I love are already taken or overly popular but I’d rather choose a name I love than based on how popular!
Some names we’re considering and that hubbie and I agree on are:
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] Or [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] Or [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]([name_f]Anna[/name_f] for nn) [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] marie
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] ( we both love but my name is [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] and I go by [name_u]Jess[/name_u]. Maybe would be too similar?? Opinions??)
[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] ( initials would be RAG)
I’d love to name her when I see what she looks like but would love any opinions! Thank you!!
From your list, my favorites are Chloe Anne and Claire Annabel. Unfortunately, I think Tessa is a bit too close to Jess. I’m not sure I like the flow of Caroline Anne, and Rachel Anne, while lovely, leads to some initials I think you’re better off avoiding. I like Anna, but I would use a different middle than Marie.
Other names that could honor Anne:
Hanna/Hannah
Anneliese
Leanne
Annika
Angela
Gianna
Annette
Arianna
Adrianna
Brianne/Briana/Brianna
Diana/Deanna/Deanne
Julianne/Juliana
Roxanne
Alana/Alanna
Savannah/Savanna
Anais

Thank you so much for the reply!! I honestly love hearing others opinions other than ppl I actually know! Lol!
I agree about [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] being too close to [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] although I love the name.
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] is super cute I only worry it sound too cat like.( my aunt had a cat named [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], lol)
I think it would age well but others may disagree. I love the meaning. “A little green shoot” and sounds cute with [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] is so classic, simple and elegant but it’s my cousins( not too close with! Daughters name. But at this point I don’t care!
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] I agree is pretty. Not sure a mn. I like [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] all your names listed! Many are already taken by friends/ family! 
Thanks again!!
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] are gorgeous!!

[name_f]Claire[/name_f] is wonderful with the sibling names! [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] is very nice, as is [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Annalise[/name_f]. Another idea for you is [name_f]Elise[/name_f]. [name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] would be a nice sister name for [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] with [name_f]Lily[/name_f]! So sweet. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] are super cute.
A few other names that are cute with [name_m]Grant[/name_m] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]:
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (maybe too floral, though?)
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]

[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]/[name_f]Cara[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] (this could honor a couple Annes, too!)

Good luck!
Thanks for the list! [name_u]Love[/name_u] the names! I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and the meaning ( rainbow) but I’m not sure about two floral names but I love the sound of [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f]!
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] so pretty and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] but hubbie not a fan!:((
Thank you!
Thank you! I love the name [name_f]Elise[/name_f] too! Again… husband doesn’t agree! Would be so easy to name if it was just me, LOL!!
Thank you! Would you think [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is tooclose to my name [name_f]Jessica[/name_f]? I go by [name_u]Jess[/name_u] a lot. I’d worry if we named her [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] she’d go by [name_f]Tess[/name_f] as nn and would rhyme with [name_u]Jess[/name_u], LOL!
Idk! It’s hard to know what would bug me until actually naming the child!
I love [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] also but my friend just named her daughter that. And [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is so pretty too! I just don’t know if I love [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. Maybe [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
Thank you!
