I find it incredible that Anna Maria hasn't gotten more votes! Firstly, I think it's far more sophisticated and feminine than Anne Marie, in any of its forms. And secondly, I find it a far more fitting name for an adult than Anne Marie, which seems on the one hand very juvenile, and on the other hand, practically octagenarian, with no middle ground. Perhaps most importantly, I think Anna Maria is just plain prettier. The syllables blend into one another so easily, whereas Anne Marie just seems sort of "squashed" together.

Now, I will admit that I have fairly awful personal associations with the name Anne Marie, whereas one of my best friends is named Anna Maria. So, that of course could be the source of my bias!

Anne Marie gmv. I don't really care for hyphenated names so I ruled those out first. I like Anna Maria but it's a little sing-songy for my personal taste. Between Annemarie and Anne Marie (I think Anne is much, much prettier with an "e" on the end) I ended up voting for keeping them separate because of all the Ann- names--Annabelle, Annaliese, Ansley, etc--I think they caused me to take a second to register what I was looking at. I think using them separately is more distinct...

Good luck!

It's probably because I've spent too much time online today, but when I saw Annemarie, I read it almost like anemone (uh-NEM-uh-ree).

I voted for Anna Maria, but only because I didn't have the option of Anna Marie. I'm not crazy about the matching endings of Anna Maria, but I LOVE the name Anna. I think it works great with Marie as a mn!

I voted Anne Marie, but I went to school with an Annmarie and I think I like that better. That is assuming that you are planning on having a Middle Name as Annmarie was one word/name. If you don't want an additional MN I would go with Anne Marie.
Hope that makes sense!

Good Luck

Well, i was looking for Anne Marie / Annemarie as a first name and something simple for a middle name, 1 sylable. I'll pull out my books and think about that one later.
