What about adding an "a" to Juliann making it Julianna? That is my nieces name and I think it is so pretty!
So I am starting a list of names for my future child. I'm not even pregnant with number two yet, so I guess I'm being silly. But if I have a girl, I'd like to possibly pick a name that has the name "ann" in it. My mom's middle name is Ann. My MILs middle name is Ann, yet she includes it as part of her first name (ie, her name is Dee, but everyone calls her DeeAnn). So I've thought of Jilliann and Juliann for a name, but I'm not a big fan of Juliann. What else do y'all have? I don't necessarily want something that sounds just like Dee (Bree, Lee) but want something that includes Ann that's not too way off the wall. I like Jilliann b/c it doesn't have the "ANN" sound, but more an "UNN" sound. Know what I mean? Hope so. Thanks in advance for all your name suggestions with -ann- in it.
Wow what a great response! THANK YOU! I hadn't even considered/thought about putting Ann at the front. I kept thinking it had to be at the end, so names as simple as Annie and Annabelle are great suggestions. I also like JoAnn, as my grandmother who died long ago was Jo. Great suggestions. Y'all have given me a wonderful list to consider. Thanks all of you. Maybe in the next year I'll have a little girl with one of these names!

My name is Annalisa:) Sometimes people think I say Monalisa...haha
A friend named her daughter JuliANdra which I thought was unique...I also like Andy for a girl. Good luck, it was so difficult for me to name my son!
I have an "Annabel" and a colleague has the unusual name "Annalie" which is very pretty.
"Jilliann" is more unusual but you cant control how people might pronounce it and it may be shortened to "J.".
Have fun!
One of the funniest characters in SITCOM history
was SUE ANN LANGDON.
I'm sure she's before your time.
Back in ancient times, there was a program
in which Mary Tyler Moore worked for a TV news department.
Sue Ann Langdon was the cooking show lady,
played by Betty White.
Lillian is beautiful!
~I like Jilliann...but I am biased, I have a Gillian!
GraceAnn has always sounded sweet to me!
Joann or Joanna? Jan? Annabell?
It's quite a bit shorter than names you are picturing, but what about A.?
Although, I'm a bit biased. :)

My grandmother's first name was Ann & my sister's middle name is Ann also. We named our daughter Hailey Ann because I liked how it flowed. It's not a single name, but rather her first & middle & it normally only gets used when she's in trouble (ha!) but I still love it.
Don't know if this has been mentioned but my niece is named Annaleah
pronounced: An a lee ah
Wyanne (why-ann)
My MIL's name is Diane...but I really like Diana (reminds me of an oldies song)
Always liked Maryanne...

Annalise, Bethanny, Suzanne
Updated
Annalise, Bethanny, Suzanne
Good luck!
Annabelle, Annalisa, JoAnne...
I vote for J. but I might be biased as that is my name !! : )
Jillian/Gillian usually doesnt have a double n. I'm not a fan of naming a child with a oddly spelled name; it sets the child up for always having their name misspelled.
I like the name Brianna myself. I think the the nickname Breezy.
Good luck on the 'name game'!

Leeanne. Lee Ann. Leigh Ann. Leigh Anne. Leeann.
I know someone with the name Loriann
AnnaLeigh, Leanne, Guilianna........all I can think of right now.
Mine is with an a, Joanna
My little girl's middle name is Leighanne, its also my sister's middle name, oh and my niece too. I like how it has a simple sound, but a really neat spelling.
I have a little girl in my class with the name Nanne. I think it is so cute and unique.
My name's J., and I'm pretty fond of it. :) I always get compliments on it.
My daughter is named Marianne, which we love. She was born in France, and we wanted her to have a pretty French name that would not be mangled in English. I have also seen Arianne, which is very pretty. Then you have Suzanne, Elianne, Lianne, and so on. They all are prettier written with the e on the end in my opinion.
I like the "a" afterward as in Tanna, Deanna, Savannah, Hannah, Lanna, Brianna or Janna. And then there is that song, "Roxanne." Fun idea!
My Mom's name is Anne.
My name is Dianne. : ) It's not used much any more.
My sister's middle name is Suzanne.
I like Jilliann a lot!
I really like the idea for Cheyenne, maybe you could use it if you wanted spelled Shyanne or Shianne, I know it would get mispelled all the time, but hey it's pretty. I also like Annabel, Annette, Anaelly, Bethanne, Jordanna, Rianna, that's all I can think of at that moment!
I have a friend named Annalon and I think it is a beautiful and unusual name. I also like Cheyanne spelled with "anne" instead of "enne".

My daughter is Anna. Simple yet perfect.
Marianne ("MaryAnn").
I also like Cheyenne (doesn't have "ann" but is pronounced "Shy Ann").
I love your idea my name is L., pronounced "lease ann" like you have a lease on a car then Ann... All one word.... just a thought.
Didn't read the other posts so I don't know if this was suggested or not but what about Mary Ann.

that site is pretty neat as it gives advice on all sorts of things including if you were bullied over your name as a kid!!!
my mom's name is Julie Ann. There is Edith Ann the character. I do love the name Jilliann though.
Arianna was always a favorite of mine.
