[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] / Sophianne has been on my top 3 list for ages. However, while going through the list of the most popular names in Québec in 2013, I stumbled upon [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f]. I’ve heard the name before, but I never realised I loved the sound of it until today. Now, obviously, I wouldn’t name sisters [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] and [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f], so I’d like your opinion…
Which one do YOU prefer?
Which one goes better with possible siblings listed in my signature?
PS - I’m aware that many berries dislike -anne names because they sound “southern” and “hick” (previous comments by berries, not my opinion). Please consider that I’m [name_m]French[/name_m] Canadian and live in a [name_m]French[/name_m] community, therefore the pronunciation is different. I can’t quite explain it, but I pronounce it softer and less nasally, I guess? Haha, sorry, terrible explanation…
I personally prefer [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f], though I also am starting to crush on [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] would be a lovely sib set!!
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] is sweet. I’d opt for Laurienne, though it brings to mind the car (Delorian sp?)…so guess I’d end up nixing it. Curious, I have a [name_m]French[/name_m] Canadian ancestor named Sebastienne–have you ever heard that name in modern use?
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f], pronounced the [name_m]French[/name_m] way, feels very chic and classy but down-to-earth at the same time- it has a sweet, soft charm. I imagine someone like [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] Tautou. [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is also lovely.
I’m not a fan of [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f] since I don’t like the look or sound of [name_u]Laurie[/name_u]. [name_f]Laure[/name_f], again with the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation, is lilting and gentle though.
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] for me, but this is definitely evidenced by my on-again-off-again love affair with the [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]! [name_u]Laurie[/name_u]/[name_f]Lori[/name_f] feels very dated to me, and [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f] feels very smoosh-ish and quite dated (and too much like [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_f]Marianne[/name_f]). [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f] sounds quite a lot like [name_f]Arianne[/name_f], though, which I am a big proponent of. If not [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f], I would push for that. :]
@AshTheDreamer, [name_f]Ariane[/name_f] is actually on my list aswell! However, it’s very common in 20 somethings over here (I know 5) so [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] or [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f] would be more unique. I’m still very much considering it, though! Thank you for your honest opinion on [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f]! (:
I’m not a fan of [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], but I do think [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] goes better with the names in your signature than [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f].
I don’t think this applies here, but where I’m from [name_f]Laurianne[/name_f], (usually spelled Lorianne here) and [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] might be mistaken for one another. Not that it is a problem. It sounds nice. I do know a [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] and it seems difficult to pronounce them separately, the two A’s run together.
