After going back and forth between love and indifference, I'm back to loving Anina. Problem is, I just can't find a middle name that I absolutely love. I'd love any suggestions.

Here are some combos I've been mulling over. WDYT?

Anina Bruriah
Anina Katriel
Anina Devasha
Anina Nurit
Anina Zissel
Anina Vered
Anina Lilach

Anina is nice. I do see "a Nina", though, and it does sound a little nicknamey. But it's nice.

Anina Lilach is gorgeous! I also like Anina Katriel.

Well, I can't help but thinking that even though this name is lovely that paired with these mn's it is likely to be too unusual.
Of all of them, the one I think is the least strange and has the best flow is Anina Katriel.

It's pretty, but I guess since I'm so familiar with Nina, it just seems like it has another A- tacked on at the beginning. Or someone is saying "a Nina". :b Of your combos, I like Anina Vered the best.

Anina Vered and Anina Nurit are the nicest, IMO. I must say that, as far as I'm concerned, Anina is more a nn for Anne, Anna or Ana rather than a full name.

It can be a nickname, I suppose, but it's also a 'real' name separate from Anne and its variants.

I suppose so, but, possibly because I'm an Italian speaker, the -ina ending sounds very diminutive to me. I have hard time picturing a Dr. Anina or Judge Anina or a 70-years old Anina, but maybe that's just me.

I agree with the Italian part

I think Anina is fine on its own, and can picture a Judge Anina. In English, ina isn't a diminutive to me.

I guess it just depends on the language. In Italian, I suppose it could be a pet form of Anna and thus sound a bit childish, not at all formal. In Hebrew, it's a name unto itself and -ina isn't a diminuitive.

Though, I could picture a Judge Anina before I could picture a Judge Kayleigh.

But again, maybe it's just me. :)

I think it would be pretty with an "ette" name

Anina Georgette
Anina Claudette
Anina Bernadette
Anina Suzette

etc, not sure why though.

Anina is also so short and full of life I think it would sound pretty with a longer name like:

Anina Josephine
Anina Corinne
Anina Catherine
Anina Beatrice
Anina Charlotte
Anina Evangeline
Anina Gwendolen
Anina Elizabeth
Anina Marguerite

or for short and sweet:

Anina Clare
Anina Lucy
Anina Marie
Anina Dulcie
Anina Julie
Anina Marit
Anina Hazel
hope you like them :)
