    Girl's name to go with Anna

    I posted in here a couple of weeks ago to get opinions on the names we have chosen. I've decided I'm quite happy with what we picked for a boy, but not so sure about the girl's choice. The name we had chosen was T a h l i a - I'm not happy about all the 'a' sounds once it's combined with Anna.

    I haven't told DH that I'm wavering yet, as I wanted to come up with some alternatives to give to him. We did have a few others on the short list, but I'm not really sure about those either.

    So, has anyone got any ideas for a slightly unusual, but not way out there, name that would go with Anna as a middle name? (Anna is after my grandmother, who passed away recently.)

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey great choice with tahlia, my dd daughter is tahlia!! We call her tahli for short and in the beginning was actually going to call her that. So Tahli Anne is nice. We also liked..

    I think it sounds best with a first name that doesn't end with an A sound.

    Charlotte Anna
    Dorothy Anna
    Gillian Anna
    Isabelle Anna
    Jane Anna
    June Anna
    Katherine Anna
    Margaret Anna
    Persephone Anna
    Rachel Anna

    Tahli is a nice alternative!! But I also think Tahlia sounds fine. Maybe you've said it too many times and it's starting to sound odd!! But I know if you're not happy there's no point using the name, but from another point of view, I think it sounds good! xo

    I also love Tahlia- and agree that Tahli/Tahlie is a sweet alternative. Otherwise, you could perhaps consider Tahlia Anne, instead of Anna? That way you are still using the name, but a slightly modified form.
    I just don't think it is worth compromising on a first name you both like, for the sake of a middle name. They only appear on legal documents, afterall, and are hardly verbalised in everyday life.
    Otherwise, some suggestions for you;

    Arielle Anna (If you don't mind 2 'a' names)
    Shanelle Anna
    Jenae Anna
    Jacelyn Anna (Jay-se-lyn)
    Mahlie Anna (Like Tahlie!)
    Madeley Anna
    Shaylie Anna
    Shiane Anna
    Tamsyn/Tamsin Anna
    Tamlyn Anna
    Taelyn Anna

    I threw a few T names in there incase you like them.....

    I have such a huge girls name list, but I didn't realise how many ended with an 'ay' or 'uh' sound until I did this post!

    My #3 is called Cari-Anna (as in CARi not Carrie)
    My name is Mary-Anne, my mum's is Anne and we wanted to incorporate that into it with a modern twist. The Cari comes from Mum's aunt Corrie and deceased brother Ari.
    BTW, her middle name is Josephine.
