Annalise or Annalese?

How should we spell it?  I'm leaning toward Annalise, but DH said, why not Annalese?

  • My friend is Annelise.  I also like Annalise.
  • Definitely Annalise.

    But I prefer Anneliese. ;)

  • I like the traditional spelling, Anneliese. But of your spellings, definitely Annalise. Annalese is bad, for many reasons.

    I like Annelise best, as well.  I think it's a beautiful name no matter how you spell it, but I'd do what I could to avoid the "anal" connotations.

  • Either way, I immediately see the word "anal". Sorry.

    I'd go with Annalise though, to answer your question.

  • We are going with Annalise.  I think the other spelling looks awful!

  • I think Annalise is how it's supposed to be spelled.  I think I like that one better.  I love that name by the way.  I would use it too, except DH and I decided on using names from our family heritage (French/ Scottish) and Annalise is German.  Well, actually my dad's family is German so maybe I'll add it to our list anyway.

    I think it is a really pretty name, spelled either way.
  • I know a little girl who spells it Annelise.

    Annalise

    Annalese makes me think "anal lease / anal ease" even more than Annalise.

    My mouth seriously dropped when reading this and then I started cracking up because it's so true! I bet if you tell DH this comment, he will instantly change his mind.

  • Ugh. I'm really not a fan of this name. It seems to come up on this board often though.

    If I had to choose a spelling, I would go with Annalise.

  • Anneliese is the original spelling so that's the one I would go with. Annalese looks bizarre.
