What middle names for Anna?

BabyBurns · July 2010

I like Mae (after my nana...Anna Mae.) But DH isn't sold yet, he's not even sure about Anna (I love it though and I'm hoping he'll come around.) What middle names go well with Anna?

I like Anna. Anna Mae sounds kind of Southerm imo. I like Anna Katherine.

I like Anna Mae but it reminds me of the Japanese animation Anime. I think Anna is a beautiful name.

I like Anna Elizabeth, Anna Grace or Anna Claire

Oops. I just noticed your LO's mn is Cate, so you wouldn't want Katherine.

I love the name Anna. Its on my list too However, Anna Mae sounds a little to Southern or country for my taste. But I'm from the North and I see you are in VA, so you may be going for a more traditional Southern sound.

Suggestions... Anna Catherine, Anna Claire, Anna Grace, Anna Rose.

ETA: Oops, scratch Catherine with your DD's name.

I like those names together, but we do call DD Audrey Cate

Agreed! DO you have another name on the family tree that you could use for a middle name?

I like Anna Rose, Anna Grace, Anna Michelle, Anna Cecelia, Anna Marie, Anna Amelia, Anna Kay, Anna Jane

LOVE Anna. So pretty and so classic. Possibly a little too old fashioned, but my grandma was Anna Dorothy. I always thought is was pretty. DH's grandma was Anna Elizabeth.

What if she is southern? If not, is 'southern' a bad thing? I live in the south and Anna Katherine is actually really popular down here, so if you don't like 'southern', you may want to stay away from Anna Katherine. Confused

OP, when I hear Anna Mae, I think "Anime", which is a japanese type of cartoon that some of my middle schoolers are into.

I actually *do* like Anna Katherine.

How about:

Anna Elisabeth

Anna Marie

Anna Claire

Anna Rose

Anna Kate

BelleBaby · July 2010

That was on our list too. We would have used Anna Marie, my grandmother's name (she goes by Marie, the baby would have gone by Anna).

But we had 2 boys instead!

GideonsMom · July 2010

I was going to say Kate. Anna Frances, Anna Lynn, Anna Faith, Anna Grace, Anna Nihaha I almost typed Anna Nicole, Anna Maria, Anna Marie, Anna Claire

I agree with one of the above posts...Anna Elizabeth. Sounds classic like your other dd's name

caprocornia · July 2010

I think Anna Rose is beautiful.

MrsCFB · July 2010

i really like anna!

i think anna elizabeth is beautiful! other suggestions: christine, elise, simone, justine.

mattschic · July 2010

Ditto on all of this! When you say it out loud, you hear "anime". What was /is your grandmother's middle name? Could you use that? Anna is on our list as well, and we will use Anna Claire (after my grandmother and great-grandmother). Here are some others:

Anna Louise

Anna Charlotte

Anna Juliet

Anna Margaret

Anna Caroline

Oooh, I thought it was beautiful, until I read this! I would always think anime now. How about Anna Marie, Anna Grace, Anna Lynn, Anna Claire? I mostly like 1 syllable middle names with Anna.
