Anniston Grace

motocross_chick

Hello ladies....what do you think of Anniston Grace for a girl? It is really starting to grow on me, but my husband doesn't seem to like it a whole lot.

 The other two names we are think on that he actually likes (even though he didn't like them at first) are Sydney Grace and Ryleigh Grace.

 I love to hear your opinions.

It sounds masculine to me.

It makes me think Jennifer Aniston.  I'm not really a fan, but it's not a horrible name.  Just not what I would pick.

Lexi from Grey's Anatomy just named her baby this.

NMS. Reminds me of Jennifer Aniston as well. Personally, I don't think it's very pretty or feminine.

I like it, but more for a boy then a girl.

Hmmm, of you called her "Anni" I think it'd be nice!

NMS, but I like Anniston better than Sydney or Ryleigh

thatgirlang

Sorry- I think 1. boy 2. last name 3. Jennifer before I think 4. maybe a girl name.

If you and your DH both loved it, I'd say go for it anyway. But keep looking.

*megsy*

sounds and looks like a made up name to me or a celebrity last name? oh wait.... sorry nms

this. i personally don't like when people copy celebrity baby names but i think if you chose it, the spelling aniston looks better. maybe that's just because i'm used to it more than the other, though.

Ditto. She is such a popular celebrity that most people will think of her. ?

Actually, I heard it a couple months ago from a friend of mine. She suggested it to me as a name, then it started to grow. I have no clue where she got it from. I am assuming she heard it or saw it somewhere. So, it wasn't anything I made up and I didn't pick it because it was a celebrity name. I didn't even think of Jennifer Aninston. But I really try not to think of stuff like that because she probably would never have a name then.

And yes to one of the previous post, I did think of Anni for short.

Thanks a bunch for all your input.

I like Sydney. If you name her Anniston, people will automatically think of Jennifer. Listen to your husband, I agree with him.

I love it. It's different without being weird.?

Anniston is a big no from me.

Sydney is cute. Ryleigh is ok, but the spelling is kind of out there for me. 

courtneyandandrew

Anniston is cute (all I can think of is Jennifer Anniston though). I really like Ryleigh... especially the spelling!

carolinag

omg. like jennifer aniston? no. please don't. it's not a first name. i like sydney. i like riley too, but not the spelling you chose. sydney would be my favorite. 

are you a big jennifer aniston fan? b/c if that's the case i'd go with jennifer or rachel! 

etoussa

All I can think is Jennifer Aniston.

Even though it is w/ 2 N's rather than 1, I still think of Jennifer Aniston.

Lexi from Grey's actually named her baby Anniston Kaye, not Anniston Grace, just an fyi.

How about:

Amery Grace, Avery Grace, Ainsley Grace, Annabel Grace, Annalisa Grace, Annalena Grace, Anna Grace, Alina Grace, Alexis Grace, Alexa Grace, Ava Grace, Alanna Grace, Ariana Grace, Ariel Grace, Avelyn Grace, Adelyn Grace, Adeline Grace, Addison Grace, Adelaide Grace, Audra Grace, Audrey Grace.

I like all of those better than Anniston.

Don't care for the name at all. 

LittleLotero

wouldnt you think grace is a bit trendy?

CourtneyRDH

A big fat NO from me! Sydney is SOOOOO much better. I'm sorry that I'm being so dramatic, but Anniston is bad.

GettinNervous

I don't like any of them--Anniston, Sydney or Ryleigh. And Grace needs a rest already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jacksonville2

I like it much more than your other choices (and really am not crazy about your Ryleigh spelling)

nicasm

Love it!

Ive never watched Greys Anatomy but my neighbor named her little girl Anniston Lee over 5 years ago and she is a doll!

Sorry, it is not my style. Anniston sounds like a city to me (along with most names ending in -ton). I can't think of any cute nicknames except Annie.

I keep hearing this name and wondering if the child is named after Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston's dad sort of made up the name since he is Greek and his real last name was Anastassakis.

sprice88

not a fan of anniston. i like sydney!!

mrsc720

I think of friends, Jennifer Anniston. I think Sydney Grace is really pretty.

shsudancer

I love it!  I have an Anniston in my class and she is so cute.
