I'm not sure what to go with for a middle name going forward and I would like some suggestions!  Here are some of the names I've thought of and rejected:

- Michele.  My legal middle name is my Dad' first name.  Michele is my mom's first name, but with everything going on I don't feel comfortable naming myself after her.

- Nicole.  I found Anna on a baby name popularity list when looking up e ranking of my male name.  I did the same thing with my middle name and quickly decided against naming myself "Anna Nicole"

- Rose.  One of my friends keeps trying to push Rose on me.  I don't mind the name, but my cousin has it for her middle name already, and I feel a little awkward about using it.


Any ideas?  I'm planning to keep asking real-life people, too...

Rose strikes me as a little old fashioned, but goes nicely with Anna.

Anna Nicole *snicker*

Anna Michele has a very nice cadence to it. I like that one!

Well, if this was first grade, I'd say Anna Banana, but I'm too mature for that.

<shaking, trembling, turning red, she's gone plaid!>  Ahh, I can't take it! Anna Banana! I know, I'm juvenile.  Sorry! Hugs, Devlyn

Anna Marie?

You should consider continuing the palindrome theme with your middle name.

Elle?
Emme?
Ava?
Aylya?
Izzi?

Anna Joanna, Anna Maria, Anna Diana. Ok I'll stop listing names that rhyme with Anna, although I do like those names haha. Umm Anna Jessica, Anna Elizabeth, Anna Melissa, Anna Rachael, Anna Stephanie, Anna Adele, Anna May, Anna Juliet. That's all I got for now lol.

I also like Anna Louise 

Anna Raquelle?

I was making a post to say that one when I saw yours.  It is a good name.

Hmm.... I am terrible with names.  I can't even choose a first name for myself.  I have gone through so many names and have just stuck with using my unisex play name that everyone has always called me by,lol.  Hopefully, that will change.

I like Anna Marie for some reason.  It just seems to flow.  I don't know.

I also like Anna Marie. 

Perhaps also maybe, Anna Grace, Anna Elise. . . I also like Anna Banana 

Anna Louise has a nice ring to it.

Anna Fay?
Anna Margot?
Anna Denise?
Anna Betsy?

Margot is pretty, but I can't help misreading it as Maggot.

Anna Denise sounds nice as well.  Anna Fay rolls off the tongue well, but it reminds me of Tina Fey.  Though, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Anna Roseannadanna just rolls off the tongue.

Anna Montana?

But seriously, I like Anna Michele but understand your hesitation as I've read of your situation with your mother.  Anna Marie would be my second choice.

I'm not sure I can help you Anna I picked my first name when I was 5 and I just finally this year decided on a middle name I like well enough to stick with. So yeah I don't think you want my help unless you want to be retired before you pick a middle name. 

I like Anna May or Anna Marie (agreeing with another post).  I personally stayed away from names that other family members already had (but that's just me).  Good luck.

+1 Anna Fay(e).

Lots of good choices!  Keep them coming

Sticking to the palindrome theme could be interesting, but I'm not going to make it a requirement.  I also thought of "Marie" on my own (before checking in and reading everybody's posts), so I'm going to consider that one more.
