Do you know if your middle name has a nice female form?

I'm sorry I didn't have a good one earlier, so far I like Louise and Marie. Hugs, Devlyn

"Banana" made me laugh, so no need to apologize :)

James -> Jamie?
Hmm... I could see that not working so well. :(

Marie and Louise, again, sound like the best so far.

Other ideas:
My sister's name is Anna Christine

Anna Jane?
Anna Theresa?
Anna Celeste?

Is "Konda" a name? Cause if it is you could be Anna Konda :) (I actually met an Anakonda once. I thought it was an awesome name but the girl seemed a bit embarrassed by it)

What ever middle name you pick, just make sure it doesn't turn into a tongue twister in combination with your first name, like for instance Lorraine Jeraldine or Tammy Tina (sometimes I think people are torn between two names and they pick both as a compromise). For years I waffled back and forth on a number of different names that I thought were ultra-feminine or hot or whatever, but I couldn't come up with a anything that didn't feel artificial or otherwise contrived. In the end I just picked what was closest to my former name without thinking much about it. That way it feels more like I have a birth name my parents gave me.

Ha!  I didn't think of "Konda", but I did think of "Molly"!

I love Molly!  It's on my list of possible first names.  Having said that, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!   >:-)

Okay, I suppose there can be two.  ;)

My thought process was:  "Haha 'Anna Molly' sounds like 'Anomaly'"

Or really really slow :)

Okay, that's true,lol.  :)

I still like it, but I think Anna Marie is the best choice here.  I also like Zoe's suggestion with Anna Christine.  Those two are very pretty sounding.

I too like the sound of Anna Christine, but I still think Anna Marie sounds the best to my ears.
I will say that it is hard to find a second name that flows well with Anna.
It is your name, choose what best fits you. Not what someone else thinks sounds best.

I don't think I can go with "Christine", I just remembered that that is my ex's middle name (and she cheated on me ... so ... yeah ...)

Could we use an "GmanAnra"?

For some fun, Google "anagram".

I like Anna Marie actually.

Anna Jacqueline, Annapurna (jk!), Anna May... I think the possibilities are endless with that name!

I opted to forgo any middle names My old name had like 3 middle names and they were all rubbish. (Stupid deadbeat dad) So I got rid of them partly just to see him slightly upset about it HA!

However I slightly regret that now.
When your thinking of a new name you have the fanciful ones which you kinda like but you can't pick because you suspect you'll end up disliking them. Or someone will guess clues about your past upon meeting you. "Aerial You choose that name didn't you?"

So I WISH I'd taken the serious first name I did (Alice) then picked a whimsical second name. Like Aerial, or Pebbles or River ect. So if It bugged me I could just not tell anyone but still have a cool sounding enigmatic secret name.
