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!!
What about something more like Hannah?
Annie?
Anne-Maree
Joyanna
Joanne
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 :)
This is taken from the baby names book I keep in my handbag (yes I am sad :redface:)
Anne (hebrew) full of grace
Also: Ana, Anais, Anca, Aneta, Anita, Anica, Ann, Anna, Annan, Annetta, Annette, Annie, Annika, Amnina, Annuschka, Anona, Chana, Channa, Hana, Hanicka, Hanita, Hannah, Hannette, Nan, Nancy, Nanette, Nanny, Nina, Ninette, Nita, Ona, Vanka
I like Anne :) its mine and DD's middle name. :)
i have anne as a middle name too, and we gave it to caitlyn as a middle name, but i get called by my late hubby
chrissyanne and caitlyn gets caityanne which i think both are very nice
Ania, Aniela, Anila, Annetta
All I can think of is Anya (Anja) or Anij. Good luck though :)
My Dad calls me Catieanne too!! :):
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!
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 ;):
Ah...which one is pronounced aneese then? I'm sure I've heard that name before...
my all-time favourite Anne variation is Anouk
Anis (french) is prnounced A-Niss (like Star Anise)
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...
Ah yeah - I've only seen it with the accent, so perhaps that's it!
I love Annabelle! Will be thinking of that name if I were to have another girl.
Liana, Liann, Anouchka, Anabel, Anika
Ive only head Anais as uh-NAY-iss, but yeh with the oomlauts (sp)
We combined our mums names for DD1's middle name which is Julianne.
Iliked Iris Analise.
I like Analise, Anelie (Annaleigh) and Annika
Annabeth? :dunno:
I like Annelise or Annelita :)
Johanna
Joanne
Antonia
Annie Rose?
I named my DD's middle name after my best friend " ANN " ...
I too wanted something different to Ann as like you i wasn't a fan of the name Ann/Anne ... so, i gave her the middle name " ARIANE " (though pronounced sounding like ARN on the end) ... everyone that 1st heard it was my DD's middle name guessed straight away it was from naming her after my best friend of 30years :dance:
Ariane can also be spelt ARIANNE (two N's) ... it's French, ... meaning is HOLY ;)
My friend Ann absolutely LOVED IT :D
Anaiya....?
