Variations on the name Annette

DH wants to use a variation on Annette (his grandmother) as a MN for baby girl :) suggestions?

the only thing I've come up with so far is Anais, which I love but am not completely sold on. Anna is out bc that's his business partner. I'm honestly not a fan of the old-school names that have become wildly popular lately, or made-up names. His family uses really loosely tied naming associations (Laurence after a Lillian, Harriet after a Harry) so the possibilities are wider

    Any version of Anne works. Anya, Anne, Nancy, Anneliese, Annabel, Rosanne, Anastasia, Antonia, Hannah, Joanna, Susanna, Julianne, Marianna, Marianne, Arianna, Rhiannon, Anwen, etc.

    Why not just Annette? I think it makes a nice mn and goes with almost everything.

    I'll also chime in that I really like Annette. If it was a family name, I'd be all over that. It really does work well in the middle.

    I like Annette, but DH said he didn't particularly (nope don't get the logic there at all :)
    I think it depends on where we end up with a FN. The only serious name he's mentioned is Julia...I love it but think it makes an odd sibset.

    LOVE Anneliese!

    Julia Anneliese is exceptionally pretty. I feel like Anneliese works well with most first names though. :)

    Random story: If you use it as a MN, do not use the name Mary as the FN. (my mom's name, she goes by Annette).

    I agree that pretty much any Anne name will work. I love PPs suggestion of Annika.

    What about Annelle? Has a sweet, southern vibe to it. Also is name of Daryl Hannah's character in Steel Magnolias, one of my personal favorite movies of all time :-)
