I’m having a second baby girl - my older daughter is [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. I like a lot of names (I would never be able to choose if it were just up to me!), but my husband only likes familiar names. Pretty much only names that have been very common or popular in the last 30 years.
We both love [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and want the new baby to have a name that has the same feel. He’d name her [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] if that wasn’t essentially the same name.
Our leading contender is [name_f]Emma[/name_f], but I worry a little about it being so popular right now. [name_f]Leah[/name_f] is also a possibility. Anyone have other ideas?
I like [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Leah[/name_f]! [name_m]Even[/name_m] though they are quite popular they are lovely sounding names! Some other ideas…
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hailey[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
Emma and [name_f]Leah[/name_f] are both lovely and work well with [name_f]Anna[/name_f]!
How about these names, which feel quite popular/established without being in the top 300:
[name_f]April[/name_f]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_u]Holly[/name_u]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Katie[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_u]Lexi[/name_u]
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
Anna and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] seem kind of similar to me. Double letters in the middle, 2 syllables, ending in a. If you don’t mind how matchy they are, [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is a nice name. I really like [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Leah[/name_f].
I really like both [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Leah[/name_f]! They have soft sounds and a gentle nature that is very appealing to me. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using popular names; they’re well-loved for a reason, and even the top name only accounts for the name of about 1/100 kids. Good luck!
I only know one girl called [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and I don’t know any [name_f]Leah[/name_f]’s spelt like that.
I think [name_f]Leah[/name_f] would be great because it’s another biblical name like [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and doesn’t sound similar.
Go with your favorite! [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] are adorable together. Popularity doesn’t mean much if she doesn’t end up with other [name_f]Emma[/name_f]’s in her class.
Anna and [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
I feel like [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. They both have that double letter in the middle and end in an A. [name_f]Leah[/name_f] is cute with [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
Emma and [name_f]Leah[/name_f] are both lovely names but [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is too close sounding to [name_f]Anna[/name_f] for me.
I love all these and love them for [name_f]Anna[/name_f]’s sister:
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Peta[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhea[/name_f]
Anna and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] may be hard to say quickly multiple times (I don’t know why you would be, but I figured I’d say), so my vote goes to [name_f]Leah[/name_f]! [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Leah[/name_f] sound like siblings very easily!
