If I ever have a girl I want to honour my mom [name_u]Laurie[/name_u] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] in the middle name spot, the only problem is I strongly dislike the name [name_u]Laurie[/name_u] and my fiances last name is [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] so names that begin with the An- sound dont work. Can you suggest some names that I can use to honour my mom? the only one I can think of is [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] which isnt a favourite but has grown on me a little because of the meaning
[name_f]Ann[/name_f]:
[name_f]Roseanne[/name_f]
[name_u]Sandy[/name_u] (I despise this but it could work)
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Dianne[/name_f]
[name_u]Laurie[/name_u]
Take away the L and you have [name_f]Aurie[/name_f]. Which reminds me of [name_f]Aura[/name_f]. Which is like [name_f]Audra[/name_f], [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_u]Arya[/name_u], [name_f]Arria[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]. Maybe something like that?
lauRIE - Rie - [name_m]Rye[/name_m]? Not sure if this is more your taste, but it’s an option. [name_m]Ry[/name_m] could be a nn for [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]?
[name_u]Laurie[/name_u] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] - if we sort of s-mush them together…
[name_f]Laurianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
Lorzi (I know a girl named [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Dena[/name_f] - not sure how it’s spelled, but that’s how it’s pronounced, who goes by Lorzi)
If we concentrate on the [name_u]LAUrie[/name_u] part:
[name_f]Lauretta[/name_f]
[name_f]Lolo[/name_f] (a nn for something?)
I was liking [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f] but thik the fiance may have trouble pronoucing it Ill run it by him though, and anything with the ann sound in it clashes with his last name which will be the baby’s (when we have one) last name
Och, what about [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Laure[/name_f]? It’s a [name_m]French[/name_m] double barrel. I think it’s said just like it looks–[name_f]ANNE[/name_f]-lore. I love the similar [name_m]French[/name_m] double barrels of [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f], and with [name_f]Anne[/name_f] in the front, it doesn’t seem quite so heavy on the [name_f]Ann[/name_f]-[name_m]Anderson[/name_m] thing. And I think swapping [name_u]Laurie[/name_u] and [name_f]Ann[/name_f] makes it seem much more chic and lovely. Something like [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Laure[/name_f] would be beautiful, I think! I like the other suggestions of [name_f]Loretta[/name_f], [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], etc. You could probably even do [name_f]Lola[/name_f]? Either up front or as a middle? I think [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_f]Lola[/name_f] sounds a bit weird, but [name_f]Lola[/name_f] would work in the right circumstances.
There is Grecian laurel and [name_u]Bay[/name_u] laurel…two different types used to make wreaths.mI am thinking you could use [name_u]Bay[/name_u] as a completely different option, or [name_f]Athena[/name_f], which is derived from Athens, Greece.
Also, one name book of mine claims [name_f]Laura[/name_f] and other [name_f]Laura[/name_f]-rooted names also mean Graceful, so [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is another option as well as [name_u]Bay[/name_u] or [name_f]Athena[/name_f].
… [name_f]Annamae[/name_f] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] doesn’t sound too bad
[name_f]Laurena[/name_f] ([name_f]Lorena[/name_f]) is my favourite for the ‘Lau’ names
