Narrowed down list of girl's names:
- Annabel
- Marielle (pronounced "Mary Elle")
- Vivian (nn V or Vivi)
- ********************************************
- Can anyone think of other one syllable names
- to follow Anna or Mary (think Annabel, MaryKate)
- I love old-fashioned 3 syllable girl's names-
- any other suggestions? Very feminine since we have 3DS.
You will be able to change your vote.

I voted for Annabel, but I also love Vivian.
My vote went to Annabel since you seem to like the "el" sound endings (Annabel and Marielle, KWIM?), but I also really like Vivian (Viviana and Vivianne are also valid forms, btw, if Anna is a family name).
Other Anna and Mary names:
Annabeth
Annalisa/Annelise
Annegret
Annelien (ahn-uh-LEEN)
Annemarie (Anna and Mary )
Annika

You could also do a double name with pretty much any short, simple name.

I voted for Marielle, but think Marianne is more old fashioned. Marielle is more mod. Vivian is harsher than yoru other choices, more sophisitcated, less quaint. Annabel is nice but seems more English than the others.
Thanks for the great replies! I originally had several of these alternates on my list but they ranked low in polling (esp. Eleanor- sp Elinor, Amelia) and have had Stella, Helena, Gwendolyn on my list over the years.
I recently saw the name Annalise/Anneliese but wonder how to pronounce it. Is it 2-syllable "Anna-leese" or 3-syllable "Anna-lee-za"? I only like the 2-syl.
I do think Marianne is sweet, and I love that spelling. The only problem is it sounds too plain to me. Marielle sounds more sophisticated, and certainly stands out more.

There isn't a two syllable form (since Anna itself IS two-syllables). ;)
Annalisa is four syllables (basically the two-syllable name Anna plus the two-syllable name Lisa).
Anneliese is technically ah-ne-LEE-zu, but I've heard it pronounced ah-ne-LEES.
Annelise I've almost always heard ah-ne-LEES, and is the simpler spelling if you like the name.
