The middle name will be Marie as my friends name was Annemarie. I never thought about jokes coming up, that is a good point. I did have LillyAnn Marie on my list, SO is not too sure about it.
I highly recommend Anika - pronounced Ahn-icka. (my daughter's name). My name is Anne and Anika is the diminutive form. I think it's beautiful and nice tribute while still being different enough that people don't automatically assume the connection.
I'm definitely going to run it by my SO he might prefer that more since u can't link it right to the name, as my friend who passed was his sister and he is kinda not sire about the daily reminder but at the same time he did name his sister so he is a fan of the name so he has agreed to have her name in the name.

I think you'd be better off with Lillian Marie for ease of spelling and it's still honoring your friend with Marie but more subtle which your husband might like. More direct Ann names that I like are
Sorry about your friend. It's nice that you want to honor her.
Diann (I'm fond of it because it's my name.) Dianna Andrea Cianna Antonia Leighann I also know a Charis-Ann Ann is also a nice stand alone name, especially for a middle name.

Agree with this. I have a FB friend from high school who named her daughter Lillyann and would get SO ANGRY when people pronounced the name lilly-anne, because she wanted it pronounced like "Lillian". Mashed names can be confusing.
