Okay, this is first baby for my husband and I and we are keeping name to ourselves until birthday so we don’t receive criticism from family…but anyway, looking for something “classic” and not quite as common as names like [name_u]Clare[/name_u] (even though I really like that name for a middle.) So you can get a sense for our style, here are some I like: [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (may be getting too common), [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Aliza[/name_f], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Lenore[/name_f]. Also like [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] but I think hubby’s family (very southern) would have difficulty pronouncing. Only name we have (sort of) come to an agreement on is [name_f]Annora[/name_f] (grandmother’s names are [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f].) If we were to go with [name_f]Annora[/name_f], what would be a good middle? Our last name is 4 letters and rhymes with [name_m]Jeb[/name_m]…hubby is sort of fond of [name_u]Sage[/name_u] as a middle for [name_f]Annora[/name_f], but I am not 100% convinced. Opinions, please!
I adore [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]!!! I think it is a beautiful name and one that is not used often, it is so beautiful, I fell in love with the name when I met this gorgeous little girl (who had a twin sister named [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]) and she had little brown girls and beautiful big brown eyes and olive skin, oh she was gorgeous and I instantly fell in love with the name, defintely one that I would suggestion using, [name_f]Annora[/name_f] is also beautiful and I think [name_u]Sage[/name_u] makes it a beautiful combination, [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is also beautiful!
Here are some other suggestions for [name_f]Annora[/name_f] or [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]

Best Wishes and [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps
I recently read a book where the main character was [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], and I love it! It’s a combination of [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f], and it has so much nickname potential- [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is beautiful, but I also like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]!
[name_f]Annora[/name_f] is very pretty. [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] flows very smoothly and the two names complement each other well. If you’re not quite on board, what about uing [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] as a middle, so [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]? [name_f]Paige[/name_f] would work, too, as would most other short names like [name_f]Fay[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], etc.
Another thought - what about [name_f]Annika[/name_f]? It’s very like [name_f]Annora[/name_f] in sound and matches the feel of your other favourites (unless you find it more Scandinavian).

[name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] has a nice feel! I also like [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] and [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]. (In the middle, there would be fewer occasions for mispronunciation.)
Other possible middles for [name_f]Annora[/name_f]:
[name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_u]Felice[/name_u] (with the fuh-[name_f]LEESE[/name_f] pronunciation)

I’d like to suggest [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] if you’re not sold on [name_u]Sage[/name_u]… [name_f]Jade[/name_f] has a similar feel imo.
I like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]! [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] are also cute. You might like [name_f]Briony[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], or [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] as other planty names. [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] sounds a little southern to me so I bet the family could handle it. [name_f]Annora[/name_f] isn’t my style but it is pretty.
With [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], I think a longer middle would be good with your short last name, such as [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Elisa[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] is a lovely name! It has a gentle, classy sound to it. I also like [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u]. [name_f]Annora[/name_f], in general, is very sweet, especially with the honor behind it.
What about [name_f]Holly[/name_f]? Classic , easy to pronounce and similar to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Luanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

[name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] is absolutely stunning!!
They way you have come up with [name_f]Annora[/name_f] is brilliant and I think it would make a lovely choice for you. Other names from your list that I like are [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. If you go with [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] it think that would be very beautiful.

[name_f]Annora[/name_f] -I don’t think there are any better middles left
but my love of both [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] make me sad. Can they not use
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lia[/name_f] if pronunciation is an issue?
I guess You are accepting of this.
[name_f]Annora[/name_f] is truly beautiful. Best wishes.
