I’m having twins, one girl, one boy, I want to name my daughter after my mother, but I would love a creative spin on [name_f]Anna[/name_f], it’s so common. It doesn’t have to be [name_f]Anna[/name_f], but something similar. Any help would be wonderful!
These are genuine variants of [name_f]Anna[/name_f]:
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Ninon[/name_f]
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_f]Annette[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f]ïs
[name_f]Anita[/name_f]
[name_f]Anica[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
And these just contain the “[name_f]Anna[/name_f]” sound:
[name_f]Anahita[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]
[name_f]Anaya[/name_f]
[name_f]Annemarie[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anatolia[/name_f]
I hope this helps! x
[name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Anwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] (or [name_f]Annalise[/name_f])
[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneli[/name_f]
[name_f]Anais[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
Anneline
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
Annalina
[name_f]Anja[/name_f]
[name_f]Anoushka[/name_f]
[name_f]Annamaria[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] (or [name_f]Annabel[/name_f])
You could also consider a name with [name_f]Anna[/name_f] on the end. There are lots!
[name_f]Arianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Julianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Brianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Elianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Sanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianna[/name_f]
I really love [name_f]Anna[/name_f] more than most of its variants but if it reads too plain to you I also like:
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Adrianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Julianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
I really like [name_f]Ana[/name_f] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f]/[name_f]Anja[/name_f].
The one [name_f]Ann[/name_f]- name no one ever seems to mention is Annique, a smooth [name_m]French[/name_m] spin on [name_f]Annika[/name_f]. I knew a girl with this name and she was lovely, inside and out.
[name_f]Ansley[/name_f]/[name_f]Annsley[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f] is my favourite. There’s also [name_f]Anoushka[/name_f], [name_f]Anezka[/name_f], [name_f]Annalise[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_f]Anja[/name_f]/[name_f]Anya[/name_f].
These days [name_f]Anne[/name_f] is unique. 
Apologies for any repeats:
[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Anissa[/name_f]

[name_f]Annetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilianna[/name_f]

[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Briana[/name_f]/[name_f]Brianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]/[name_f]Susanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] means grace, so synonyms:
[name_f]Hana[/name_f]/[name_f]Hanna[/name_f]/[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Chana[/name_f]/[name_f]Channa[/name_f]/[name_f]Channah[/name_f]
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f] & all of its variants

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anjali[/name_f]
[name_f]Anthea[/name_f]
Good luck!
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] is my favourite. I’m wondering if maybe any -ana name could work…
[name_f]Lana[/name_f]
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Janna[/name_f]

Thank you to everyone! These are truly beautiful names, I want to thank each and every one of you who took time out of your own day to help me, please have a good day and I can’t wait to show the father and my mother all these name suggestions!
I love [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Annemieke[/name_f], [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f], [name_f]Antonia[/name_f], and then there are wilder choices like Antimony or dated ones like [name_f]Annette[/name_f] or [name_f]Anita[/name_f], though I kind of like those.
I like [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f] best!
Though as the mother of a 2 year old [name_f]Anna[/name_f], I will say that we never meet other little Annas! It’s actually been surprising to me.
I love [name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Anne[/name_f]!
