Ways to get Anna

Girl Names
1

I really like [name]Anna[/name] for a girl, but [name]Anna[/name] by itself is a touch boring for me. What are some longer names that could have [name]Anna[/name] as a nickname? The ones that I can think of are [name]Annabel[/name] (and all of its variants), [name]Joanna[/name] (though I prefer the “[name]Anna[/name]” to be at the beginning), [name]Anastasia[/name], and [name]Annalise[/name] (and all if its variants). I don’t like any of these names very much. What else is out there?

I like [name]Andromeda[/name] and [name]Anastasia[/name] for [name]Anna[/name] but that might be much for you. Some of these make the ah-na sound, some make the an-a sound.

My daughter really loves [name]Anna[/name] too. She is only 13 years old, mind you, but she is thinking of using [name]Julianna[/name] someday – or [name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name]. My personal favorites are [name]Anneliese[/name] and [name]Juliana[/name].

There is also the options of a hyphenated name. There is a poem by [name]German[/name] poet [name]Kurt[/name] Schwitters originally called “An [name]Anna[/name] [name]Blume[/name]” (it was translated to “To [name]Eve[/name] [name]Blossom[/name]”) people have named their daughters [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Blume[/name] after the poem. You could go with [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Marie[/name] or anything else or even [name]Ann[/name]- and nn [name]Anna[/name]. Since [name]Anna[/name] is such an easy name to mix and match with have fun and if you are uncertain let us know and we’d be happy to help out! :wink:
