Breanna Kylie is my favorite---but I guess I am the only one.

Have you been reading the Outlander books by any chance? The names Claire and Breanna are major characters. But it might be spelled Brianna...

We have unusual names in my family, and it is sometimes annoying to have a name pronounced all different ways by different people...but there are actually some advantages to having an unusual name.

I vote for Claire.
With Eva you/she's going to have the A-va vs. Eve-a thing...
Isla is the same with pronunciation
Annie is a common nickname considering Annelise is a very UN common name. Just my 2 cents!

whichever you choose make sure one of the two names is shorter (much) so sabrina annelise is too long. I don't like Breanna.
May I ask why Annelise? I thought the spelling should be Annalisa?
My fav. is Eva Annelise (except it ends in A and 2nd one begging with A).

I like Sabrina Annelise a lot. Isla Annelise and Eve Annelise are nice too. I would not go with Breanna Kylie or Claire Annelise if it were me though.

answers from Bangor on

Just remember that your baby is going to have this name for the rest of her life. And some names that are too unique or original might cause other kids to make fun of her. Don't get me wrong; I love original and unique names. My husband has a unique name, and I love it. On your list, I would definitely avoid the first one. People are going to end up mispronouncing it more often than not and more than likely have trouble spelling it. The rest are good names, but keep in mind that your daughter, when she gets older, might not keep the nickname you have picked out. :)

answers from Mansfield on

I like Breanna Kylie. Isla is pretty but will most likely be pronounced wrong. Kids get really frustrated when they have to constantly tell people how to pronounce their name (or spell it). My daughter named her daughter (julia) but spelled it juleah which is very pretty but julz is getting tired of correcting the spelling of her name or telling people was it is alot of people call her julie and she is only 6 so she has many years left of that and my daughter is Kaylyn and she gets called katelyn alot and people (like sunday school teachers,etc) have told her she is spelling her name wrong, especailly when she was little (she learned to spell her name long before she turned 2). All things to think about!

Having a dd named Aeryona (Air long e on a) trust me pick a name you don't have to correct each and everyday...we adopted and kept her first name since she knew it all ready but I kick myself daily for not at least changing the spelling...

I am a huge Claire fan so that one gets my vote, good luck and can't wait to hear what you decide...

cute story, with my second her name was to be Jessica LeeAnn she was born I took one look at her and said oh my no way she is an Amanda lol...her name Amanda LeeAnn.

answers from Indianapolis on

Both of my sisters and I constantly had our names mispronounced (as well as my mother, Marlyn).

I'd go with something that won't be butchered by people the remainder of her life. They're all nice names. I'd wait until she's born and see what she looks like.

My sister has gone by her middle name her entire life because she never looked like her given name (but my parents were hell-bent on the flow of the name).

answers from Jackson on

Well, it depends on what your last name is, to some degree... That changes how the name sounds, when it is said aloud, as a whole. But without that, I'd have to say that Eva Annelise is my favorite. That's just a beautiful name! Good luck!

Any name you choose is beautiful. My personal favorite is Isla, but that is because it was also my step-grandma's name.

I like Eva Annelise [I'm assuming it is pronounced eee-vah anna- leese, since those are names of people I've known]. Beautiful name!
I also like Claire, or Annalise Claire [because I really like Annie]. The problem with Annalise is people are always going to mispronounce it- so it would probably best as a middle name. Apparently people will even say Eva wrong, since there are many Avas out there now.
Sabrina Anne or Claire Anne both sound nice, and everyone would be able to say and spell those

answers from Columbus on

I agree with previous posts in that Isla will probably get mispronounced a lot. Annelise is pretty, but it may get shortened to Anna by her friends and such (only an issue if you don't want it shortened). I love Claire and Eva. Good luck and congratulations!!

I really like Isla but I actually think it sounds prettier with Claire for a middle name. It would depend on your last name I suppose. They are all pretty names. The only one I don't care for is Eva, only because I think there are alot of little Ava's out there.
I am a postpartum/baby nurse so I hear a lot of baby names. I have actually had two Isla's in the last year, no Breanna's or Annelise's.

They're all lovely names... I'm a nurse, and I had a patient named Annalee. I think Annalee is a pretty and unusual name. Winona Ryder played a android named "Annalee" in the 1997 movie "Alien: Resurrection." :) I'm partial to the name Zelda; I don't play the video game, but I'm a fan of Zelda Williams (Robin's daughter) and I like Zelda Fitzgerald.
