Help[Opinions] Re: Anne or Ellen
in reply to a message by vigdis
I like Anne Cecilia a lot.
Ellen is good, but I think it's a bit old sounding. (Not that the name is old or dated or anything, just that when I picture a person named "Ellen" it's always someone at least 20.) Because of that I'd be more inclined to use it as a middle name.
So, I like both but I'd choose Anne. Especially with Miriam as a big sister. Ellen
sounds older than Miriam, but Anne is more versatile in the age department.
For me, something like Elaine or Elena (with either pronunciation-- e-lay-na or ell-en-a) would be a good middle ground between Anne and Ellen, but that might not be true for everyone.
For a brother, I'd choose Raphael.
