What do you think?


Ever since we've been thinking about trying for a family we've been set on our names. Hubby LOVES the name Analis for a girl, so it'll be Analis Mae and for a boy we love Robert James. My cousin was called James and he died a few months ago so it's sort of to honour him. What do you think?

How about the more traditional spelling Annalise?? I think its a very pretty name, but can see that some people may mis-pronounce it. xx

Neither of us likes Annaliese, think it sounds like a name off coronation street.

Is Anaïs (ah-nah-iss) close.. or am I way off?

I don't think I'm sounding out your choice correctly yet... A-na-lis... like the beginning of the word analyst?

Analis would be a total no for me because of the spelling I pronounce it ah-NAH-liss which is fine, but once people see it written...Sorry. I can see people adding an adjective to the end of it if you see what I mean

Robert James would be a nice tribute to your cousin though for a boy

The name sounds pretty... but the spelling would have to be changed a bit bc i think kids would be mean and come up with lots of ways to tease a name that starts with "anal"! I used to know a girl name Annaleisa, which is very pretty!

The boy's name is a nice tribute to your cousin!
