I have 2 children and their names are AJ ([name]Anthony[/name] [name]James[/name] after his daddy and grandpa) and [name]Emma[/name] [name]Eston[/name] ([name]Eston[/name] after my great grandmother). Our last name starts with a M and is 2 syllables. I have a boy name picked out [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] after my dad and grandpa. I’m having problems with the girl names… The name has to include a mixture of my mom’s and hubby’s mom’s middle names ([name]Ann[/name] and [name]Sue[/name]). Their first names are [name]Debra[/name] and [name]Deborah[/name] but I don’t really like that name for my baby. Here are some I’ve been thinking of… (We have a dog named [name]Lily[/name], too)
[name]Lyla[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] is this too close to my dog name? (my fav)
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Sue[/name]
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]
[name]Nila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]
IS [name]Ella[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] too close to my [name]Emma[/name]
I guess I’m a nut… I [name]LOVE[/name] names with meaning!
[name]Lyla[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]: For me, [name]Lyla[/name] is definitely too close to your dog’s name, [name]Lily[/name]. I’m sorry! For what it’s worth, I think [name]Lila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] would have been lovely.
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]: I love [name]Cora[/name], but think the softer [name]Susanne[/name] works better than the harsh [name]Suzanne[/name] with [name]Cora[/name]. This combo gets my vote!
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Sue[/name]: This one feels too backwoodsy to me, and [name]Sue[/name] is really dated. What about [name]Susannah[/name] as a first name?
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]: I prefer your [name]Cora[/name] combo…
[name]Nila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]: I’m not a [name]Nila[/name] fan (reminds me of [name]Nilla[/name] Wafers)…
IS [name]Ella[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] too close to my [name]Emma[/name]: Yes, to me, [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] are too close. What about [name]Eleanor[/name]?
I think [name]Susannah[/name] would be a great option for a first name, although your son’s name does contain the “ann” sound.
Other ideas containing [name]Ann[/name] and [name]Sue[/name]:
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] ([name]Susannah[/name] contains [name]Anthony[/name]'s “ann” sound, though)
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] (D for the Debras)
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Grace[/name] ([name]Grace[/name] is very popular, but [name]Ann[/name] means [name]Grace[/name])
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]/[name]Beatrice[/name] ([name]Deborah[/name] means “bee,” which is the first sound of [name]Beatrix[/name])
[name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Susanne[/name]
[name]Diana[/name] [name]Susette[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name] [name]Susanne[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Susanne[/name]
[name]Vivianne[/name] [name]Susette[/name]
I was going to suggest [name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Susette[/name], but [name]Annabelle[/name] and [name]Anthony[/name] are too close…
[name]Lyla[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]- I actually don’t think that this is too close to your dog’s name. I like this name the best from your list
[name]Cora[/name] - not a fan
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Sue[/name] - I agree that it does have a backwoodsy air to it
[name]Mila[/name] - haven’t really heard of this one before but same as cora for me
[name]Nila[/name] - definetly have not heard this one before
[name]Ella[/name] - probably to close to [name]Emma[/name] unless you want them to have mathing names then it works great!
I love how you combined [name]Sue[/name] and [name]Ann[/name] together that was so smart!

[name]Lyla[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] is this too close to my dog name? (my fav) - too close to your dog’s name.
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] - I love [name]Cora[/name] [name]Susanna[/name]/[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Sue[/name] - I don’t like these two names together. Sounds like someone who does nothing but hang clothes on a clothesline in the wind.
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] - like [name]Mila[/name], but not with [name]Suzanne[/name].
[name]Nila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] - I don’t really like [name]Nila[/name], but a lot of posters love it. [name]Don[/name]'t like it with [name]Suzanne[/name].
IS [name]Ella[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] too close to my [name]Emma[/name] - yes.
Would you like to use [name]Susannah[/name]/[name]Susanna[/name] as a first name and [name]Sanna[/name] as a nickname? Or you can use [name]Sanna[/name] as a full name. It’s Scandinavian. Look it up on “check out a name”. It is a great combo of [name]Ann[/name] and [name]Sue[/name].
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Clare[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is so pretty
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]/[name]Susanna[/name]/[name]Susan[/name] all mean “lily”. You could name your daughter [name]Liliana[/name] for another combination of [name]Sue[/name] and [name]Ann[/name].
I wouldn’t rule out a fave name because of your dog’s name. I think [name]Lyla[/name] or [name]Lila[/name] would be great with your other kids and your last name. But, I REALLY like [name]Susannah[/name] (or maybe [name]Suzanna[/name])!!! Good luck!
[name]Lyla[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] – I’m not crazy about it, but I don’t think it’s too close to [name]Lily[/name].
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] – I don’t like [name]Cora[/name], but I think the combo is nice.
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Sue[/name] – Sounds like a sneeze to me. Maybe if you expanded [name]Anna[/name] to [name]Anneliese[/name] or [name]Annabel[/name] or something, it would be better.
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] – Nice.
[name]Nila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] – Nice.
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] – Very pretty but yes, too close to [name]Emma[/name]. If you disagree, you could consider Suzella nn [name]Ella[/name] with an [name]Ann[/name] name as the middle (or first).
I echo the suggestion of [name]Susannah[/name] as a first name. I think [name]Annabel[/name] would go nicely with your other kids’ names as well. [name]How[/name] about [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Susan[/name]
[name]Lyla[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] is this too close to my dog name? (my fav) - I have aunts who are twins with these names, lol. Too close. I love this name otherwise. Can you change your dog’s name?
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] - fits in nicely
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Sue[/name] - you didn’t ask, but this is close to [name]Emma[/name] also. I love names that start with [name]Anna[/name] though, and if you would call her [name]Anna[/name] [name]Sue[/name], that’s very cute.
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]
[name]Nila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] - I have been liking [name]Nila[/name] lately, but I think [name]Mila[/name] and [name]Nila[/name] are a little exotic for AJ and [name]Emma[/name]. [name]Millie[/name] or [name]Nell[/name] would be nearer.
IS [name]Ella[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] too close to my [name]Emma[/name] - YES.
I also like [name]Suzanne[/name] spelled [name]Susanne[/name], I guess either way. Prefer [name]Suzanne[/name] to [name]Susan[/name] and [name]Susannah[/name] and other variations. It’s conveniently already a name so when you combine [name]Sue[/name] and [name]Ann[/name] - there you go.
I think [name]Suzanne[/name] as a first name? would go with [name]Emma[/name].
I liked the suggestion [name]Diana[/name].
[name]Julia[/name], [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Lucy[/name] are also good first names that would go (depending on how they stand with the last name).
[name]Clara[/name], [name]Stella[/name], and [name]Eleanor[/name] might not be too bad either.
Thank you all for your help! You have given me a lot to think about and discuss with my husband! I did have one more thought…
Since [name]Ella[/name] is too close to [name]Emma[/name] What about [name]Stella[/name] [name]Susanne[/name]?
