Needing help with middle names so please feel free to throw a couple suggestions :)

Brother is Oliver Andrew, surname is Jones. Popularity is not an issue.

Thank you!

I voted Anna, but it was a toss-up. I love both names. We considered Anna Katherine (calling her Anna Kate) and Emma Katherine (Emma Kate). I also think Charlotte works well with both, if you'd like to pass along your name!

Love the name Oliver Andrew, too, by the way :)

Funny, we also thought about Anna Kate and Emma Kate (not a nickname for Katherine though) but lost interest because the world doesn't need another Kate lol! In Oliver's class there's a Katie and a Katherine who goes by Kate - that did put us off.

Husband thinks it's cool to pass my name along but I'm not sold on it - I guess it's a weird sense of jealousy? It feels too 'mine' if you get what I mean.

Thank you for posting, by the way!

Where I live there are just as many Emmas as there are Kates.

I know Emma is quite common these days, but it's still a gorgeous, gorgeous name...so I voted for it. But, really, they're both lovely and I don't think you can go wrong.

I think they are both lovely names, but Emma is so overused right now. Anna is traditional, but she probably won't be one of 4 or 5 in her graduating class someday!

I personally love Anna - especially as a nn to Annabelle..
Than maybe you could use your name
Annabelle Charlotte

Others that work
Anna Emmaline (not sure the spelling, but it pulls both names you like into it)
Anna Claire
Anna Elisabeth
Anna Josephine
Anna Christine

Good Luck!
