So I want to honor my mother with a middle name for my future child: [name_f]Maryann[/name_f], however I don’t want to use her full first name. I like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] “[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]” as the first name. My current ideas are [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] or [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Annistyn[/name_f]. Which would you choose or would you use a different variation of [name_f]Maryann[/name_f]?
I will probably be in the minority, but I’ve always really loved [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] as a middle. I think it’s sweet and chic and deserves a revival. Is [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] too much of a mouthful? [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] is darling! If not:
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Maribel[/name_f]
I also like both of your choices. I normally prefer more classic/feminine names like [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] but [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Annistyn[/name_f] sounds really hip.
I think [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marinna[/name_f] is lovely.
You could just use part of [name_f]Maryann[/name_f]-- I like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] as a combination. [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is nice too, but I’m not an Annystin fan. I like the idea of [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and changing the spelling to [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] as well.
Some other possibilities:
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Amanda[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Maria[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Mira[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
I think [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is a sweet option. I’m not a fan of [name_f]Annistyn[/name_f].
What about:
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] (mah-ree-ah-nuh)
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marin[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is lovely, though I don’t see it as connected t [name_f]Maryann[/name_f]. I don’t like [name_f]Annistyn[/name_f]. Sorry.
Other options (not previously mentioned):
[name_u]Marian[/name_u] / [name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_f]Annemarie[/name_f]
[name_u]Arya[/name_u] (middle letters of mARYAnn)
Rya (same as above)
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Annette[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] or [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] are my favourite options.
Thanks for all your suggestions! I’m going to run them past my husband tonight to see what he says about them. I don’t know why [name_f]Maryann[/name_f] as a middle doesn’t appeal to me, because that would be really easy. 
On first sight, I really like [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_u]Arya[/name_u] (cool idea to pull out the middle!), and [name_f]Maribel[/name_f].
I love [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]!
We used [name_f]Merry[/name_f] as a way to honor a [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and a [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. To the ear people understand it easily, but it looks unique and means happy.
My mom’s name is [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f], my nana’s name was [name_u]Marion[/name_u], and my grandma’s name was [name_f]Mary[/name_f]–I want to honor all of them when naming my first daughter. I am using [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] ([name_f]Marry[/name_f]-ah-nah) as a name. [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] is a gorgeous name!
I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] & [name_f]Marin[/name_f]/[name_f]Maren[/name_f]. [name_f]Malia[/name_f] is the Hawaiian version of [name_f]Maria[/name_f], if that appeals at all… Good luck! 
Perhaps I’m in a minority, but I fail to see how a name honors someone, unless you use the actual name (in this case [name_f]Maryann[/name_f]) or a name that is a different form but where the honoring is obvious (in this case [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] or [name_f]Annmarie[/name_f]).
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] to me, doesn’t honor, and nor does [name_f]Annistyn[/name_f].
However, like I said, perhaps I’m in the minority.
Oh and I think [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Maryann[/name_f] would be beautiful.
I like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] better.
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Annette[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is beautiful!
