In labor and still no name!

See the results of this poll: Which do you like best?

  • Adeline Marilyn (pronounced Add-a-line) : 22 (23%)
  • Anna Marilyn : 32 (34%)
  • Annaliese Marilyn (pronounced Anna-leese): 40 (43%)

I chose [name_f]Anna[/name_f] because I like the flow of a 2 syllable first name better with the 3 syllable middle. Have you considered [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] (like the beginning of [name_f]Adeline[/name_f])?

I went for [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f]. I don’t think people will struggle with it and I think it works really nicely with [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] ([name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] - swoon!). I also like the range of nn options e.g. [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] (I also dislike [name_f]Addie[/name_f], but love [name_f]Annie[/name_f]), [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] (it’s technically Nali, but I think [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] works), [name_f]Liese[/name_f]… etc. etc.

I’m going with Annanliese.

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] (though I prefer the [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] spelling).

[name_f]Annalise[/name_f] is stunning, and beautiful with your other childrens’ names.

I agree: [name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] or [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] - I even like [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] (the Danish version, easier to spell).

So exciting you’ll meet your little gal soon!

[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] gets my vote.

I voted [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. I do like [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] too but it drives me nuts that there are like 6 acceptable spellings. I know some people don’t care about that but for me it’s a deal breaker.

I vote [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
[name_f]Annelise[/name_f] spelled that way and pronounced [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Elise[/name_f] is so pretty.
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]-the spelling and the way this name sometimes sounds when spoken out loud make me prefer [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] is darling in the middle name spot!

[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f], nn [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. Sounds wonderful with her siblings!!

[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] gets my vote. I don’t think it will be hard to pronounce and it has the built in [name_f]Anna[/name_f] nickname

[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is gorgeous, especially with your kids’ names.

I voted [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] for a few reasons, 1. I feel it goes best with [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], 2. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] goes ok with [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] but seems lackluster when put with [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], 3. [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] will inevitably be called [name_f]Addie[/name_f], and 4. I think you’ll have to correct people who will try to call her [name_m]Add[/name_m]-a-lyn too often for your liking.

[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]- would be my favorite for you except that you don’t like “[name_f]Addie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f]- my personal favorite of your options except I’m not sure how it sounds with your last name that ends in “s”; it may be perfectly fine. If it’s a little hissy, I’d go with [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] or simply [name_f]Ada[/name_f].
Best wishes and congratulations!
