Which one is best for my next baby girl?

evansma · February 16, 2012, 12:21pm

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name] or

[name]Anabel[/name] [name]Claire[/name]

I am loving both names so much and cannot decide. have been loving [name]Clara[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name] for a long time, but have recently started loving [name]Anabel[/name] [name]Claire[/name], too!

which do you like better (if either) and why?

thanks for any suggestions…

I really like [name]Clara[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name]. It sounds very feminine and beautiful. Best of luck with your decision!

I love [name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Claire[/name], it is adorable and spunky. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name] is also nice, much softer girlier feel.

I see [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] as siblings! [name]Clara[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name] is so pretty!

I like [name]Anabel[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (although I prefer the more traditional spelling of [name]Annabel[/name]) more than [name]Clara[/name] [name]Annaliese[/name]. I have a hard time with [name]Clara[/name] ending in an “a” sound and [name]Annaliese[/name] beginning with a different “a” sound. I find it tricky to say it in a way that flows. I feel that I have to put a pause between the two names to separate them. [name]Claire[/name] [name]Annaliese[/name] would be nice, though.

[name]Anabel[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is my pick! The longer fn and shorter mn are always the best sounding to me. I’d spell [name]Anabel[/name] the more usual way though, like [name]Annabell[/name], because whenever I see the [name]Ana[/name] begging part it always makes me think of Anorexia. [name]Ana[/name] is the shorter name for it. It might just be me! If that doesn’t bother you, then just go for it!

They are both pretty, but I love [name]Annabel[/name].

[name]Evan[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] are gorgeous together, if that is your son’s name.

I love [name]Anabel[/name] but the [name]Annabel[/name] spelling. I could see [name]Evan[/name] & [name]Annabel[/name] together too but I don’t really like [name]Claire[/name].

I love both names actually:-) I think I prefer [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Claire[/name] though - you can’t go wrong either way!
