Double names with Anna

(I posted this a few days ago, but we've added another option so I wanted to post again)
DH and I want to use Anna (Ann is a family name) as the first part of a double name. We are both southern and like having a southern sounding name, but not a redneck or country sound. We are considering:
Anna Grace (My favorite)
Anna Kate (His favorite)
Anna Jane (mutual)
Which is your favorite? Any others you think would sound good?

Re: Double names with Anna
Mmm..that's a toughie. I like Anna Grace the best as I like the name Grace but Anna Kate is adorable too. Anna Jane is at the bottom of the list for me.
I like both Grace and Kate, but Kate is my favorite. Jane not so much
Kate and Grace are both great.
Others?...Anna Claire

i love Anna Kate
i also really like Anna Belle
Anna Kate.
Personally, I've always loved Anna Maria...but only with a good Italian last name!?
We know of a few Annabelle's, too. ?
I like all three. But I think I like Anna Kate the best.
I also second the suggestion of Anna Belle.
I like Anna Grace & Anna Kate.
A friend of mine named her baby girl Annamarie Kate.

My favorites of the options you've listed is Anna Kate!
Other combos - Anna Sophia or Anna Beth
Anna Kate!
Anna Grace.
I don't care for Kate as a stand alone name. If you wanted to name her Anna Katherine and call her Anna Kate, this would be my top choice.
I don't care for Anna Jane at all. It just doesn't flow well.
LOVE Anna Grace. I'm not crazy about Anna Kate, unless you're actually going to name her Anna Katherine--I have a hangup about nickname-names. Anna Jane doesn't "flow" very well for me--too many N sounds, I think.
Others I know IRL:
Anna Claire
Anna Elizabeth, called Anna Beth
Anna Ruth
and a couple who are Anna Mom'sMaidenName (Williams and Carson, in my friends' cases) -- depending on what your maiden name was (or if there's another surname from your families that you like/sounds good), I think this can be a super cute option, and definitely Southern-sounding.
Thanks for the input everybody! DH and I are living will all three options for a while to see which one we like best.
I had considered Anna Claire, but for some reason when I say it all I can think of is "an eclair". Strange I know, but that scratched that one off for me.
Thanks again!
