Pretty variations of Anne??

[kyles]

Hello,

My DH's Mum's middle name is Anne and it was also the name of my very favourite Nanna. If I have a girl I would like to use Anne as a middle name, with Iris as a first name but I just dont love Anne as a name I was thinking I could use a variation of Anne? Only ones I can think of so far are (none of which really float my boat...):

Iris Annabelle
Iris Annalise
Iris Anna

Thanks ladies!!

Annie?

My middle name is Anne! I like it but I have a longer first name which I think suits a short middle name better IYKWIM

I like Anne too. I had a neighbour called Ana (pronounced Ah na) when I was a kid, thought that was cool.

Ange
Annika
Anais (prounounced aneese...I think)

Um...that's all I have for now. I love the name Iris by the way. Have fun deciding!

Anais (prounounced aneese...I think)

Its pronounced An-Nay, if DS was a girl she was going to be Averlie Anais... I was going to come and suggest that myself

[Nelle]

Ah...which one is pronounced aneese then? I'm sure I've heard that name before...

[Ginger]

my all-time favourite Anne variation is Anouk

[Rouge]

Anis (french) is prnounced A-Niss (like Star Anise)

[Pandora]

Antoinette
Angelique
Ariane
Anneke

I *think* if you use the dots above to do ANA?S as in Ana?s Nin its pronounced Ahn-ah-is (which can sound like Aneese) but if you don't have the dots the emphasis is not there. Where as the perfume Anais Anais is said "Ahn-Nay Ahn-Nay.

Where's Bath when I need her she's the french lover...

[Nelle]

Ah yeah - I've only seen it with the accent, so perhaps that's it!
