Hello, I’m having some serious trouble coming up with name for my twin girls due in 6 weeks!
I think the name I have settled on is [name]Elize[/name] [name]Jacqueline[/name] - which honors my aunt and grandmother but the second name I’m not sure of yet.
My husband likes [name]Anna[/name] for a first name ( anne is my mother in law’s middle name and i love her but she didn’t want us to use her first name -judy -as she isnt found of it- I’m not really either so that’s good!). I like [name]Isobel[/name] for a middle name (honoring my other grandmother) but I fear [name]Anna[/name] is too plain for a first name. I love using family names but have used almost all of my side’s while my husband’s side arent great- judy, doris, mabel).
Anyone have some suggestions for “jazzing” up [name]Anna[/name]? Personally I love [name]Lilah[/name], [name]Ava[/name] or [name]Lillian[/name] but have also considered [name]Annalee[/name] or [name]Alexis[/name]. I want it to sound good with [name]Elize[/name] as that will probably be her twin sister’s name but I don’t want their names too similar that you couldn’t tell who I was calling for at the park. [name]Anna[/name] just sounds so plain I don’t want her to feel like she got the plain name and her sister got the fancy one!
Ps- my husband hates [name]Annette[/name] and [name]Anya[/name].
[name]Hi[/name],
[name]How[/name] about [name]Anneliese[/name]/ [name]Annaliese[/name]? It’s a pretty alternative to [name]Anna[/name]. Or if [name]Elize[/name] and [name]Anneliese[/name] is too similar, maybe [name]Anneka[/name]/[name]Annika[/name] and all the spelling variations which are also pretty. Or maybe [name]Ana[/name] (ar-nah)?
I would go for
[name]Elize[/name] [name]Jaqueline[/name] and [name]Annika[/name] [name]Isobel[/name].
I love all your choices. [name]Annalee[/name], [name]Alexis[/name] and [name]Ava[/name] . Of those three, [name]Alexis[/name] would sound best with [name]Elize[/name]. Nicknames [name]Lexi[/name] and [name]Liz[/name]?
Hmm. You could go kinda fancy. A name like [name]Anastasia[/name] could be turned into [name]Anna[/name]. [name]Susanna[/name] could be [name]Anna[/name]. [name]Diana[/name]. [name]Tatiana[/name]. Sorry if those are way off base for what you’re looking for, but I so think they hold up well next to [name]Elize[/name]. Best of luck!!
[name]Annika[/name] is a great suggestion! So is [name]Anastasia[/name]. I know it does not involve [name]Anne[/name], but [name]Phoebe[/name] and [name]Elize[/name] would be stunning.
Here are some names that all have [name]Anna[/name]/[name]Ana[/name]/[name]Anne[/name] in them
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Arianne[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Aliana[/name]/[name]Alianna[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Eliana[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Iliana[/name]/[name]Ilianna[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Juliana[/name]/[name]Julianna[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Isannah[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Liana[/name]/[name]Lianna[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Oriana[/name]/[name]Orianna[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Roanna[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Annika[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Aeliana[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Ailana[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Aviana[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Gianna[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Liliana[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Milana[/name]
[name]Elize[/name] and [name]Oleanna[/name]
I feel that [name]Anna[/name] or [name]Anne[/name] go better with [name]Elize[/name] than the more flowery options you are considering. I would go with [name]Elize[/name] and [name]Anne[/name].
I think [name]Anna[/name] is beautiful. Not plain at all in my book. I’d use it in a second! [name]Annalie[/name] is cute too. [name]Annora[/name] is beautiful but I much prefer [name]Anna[/name]!
I don’t see why [name]Elize[/name] (which sound does the i make, though? eye like [name]Eliza[/name] or ee like [name]Elise[/name]?) demands a long flowery pairing. It’s a short name too, it doesn’t look odd with [name]Anna[/name].
I do like [name]Anwen[/name], [name]Anais[/name], and [name]Annabel[/name]. They seem kinda elaborate though?
[name]Hannah[/name] is the name [name]Anne[/name] is derived from, but it might be too far a stretch for honouring? [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Elize[/name] sounds good to me.
I love [name]Annika[/name] and [name]Annalee[/name] and they both sound good with [name]Isobel[/name] as a middle name.
You could also use a -anna/ -ana name.
[name]Liliana[/name]
Cariana
[name]Eliana[/name] (That may be too similar to [name]Elize[/name])
[name]Aliana[/name]
[name]Ariana[/name]
[name]Mariana[/name]
Miriana
I also think [name]Annaliese[/name] (not sure of spelling) is so pretty too, with [name]Anna[/name] as a short form if you choose. Although, [name]Anna[/name] to me is such a beautiful, classic, graceful name…love it so much more than the plain [name]Ann[/name]. Or [name]Annica[/name]/Aneca is pretty but is a much different feel than [name]Elize[/name]. I prefer [name]Eliza[/name], which flows better with [name]Annaliese[/name] than [name]Elize[/name] which is too matchy.
