[Opinions] Re: Middle names for Anna
in reply to a message by selig
Love Anna! Loads of these are great - I had trouble choosing.Anna Cordelia - Love this. It's very balanced IMO. Reminds me of one of my favourite combos, Anna Clarissa.
Anna Demetra - Demetra is strong and weighty, compared to the light and sensible Anna, so they complement each other nicely.
Anna Eudora - I'm not massively keen on the vowel sounds running into each other, but I'll overlook it because I adore Eudora and I think they're really delicate yet also cutting together.
Anna Hermione - Hermione's a great name because it strikes the balance between usable and out there very well. The rhythm is good here too.
Anna Persephone - Amazing rhythm and Persephone is a great middle.Anna Ariadne - I'm not a massive fan of alliterative names and I think the fact that Anna also ends with an "a" makes it worse. Ariadne's neat, though.
Anna Galadriel - Galadriel just sounds a bit scifi to me.
Anna Iphigenia - I love Iphigenia, but it's very long. That could be forgiven, but also, "na" and "Iph" run into each other and I just don't think the two names go that well.
Anna Nerissa - I dislike the "na Ne" in the middle; it's easy to stutter over.
Anna Pandora - kind of rhymes, though Pandora is pretty cool.*"That cynicism you refer to I acquired the day I discovered I was different from little boys."
