First Names That Include "Ann" in It

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.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

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!

What about adding an "a" to Juliann making it Julianna? That is my nieces name and I think it is so pretty!

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!

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.

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'!

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.
