- I'm worried about the popularity of Annelise!

You will be able to change your vote.

Hm. I checked ssa.gov ... Annelise hasn't been in the Top 1,000 in 15 years :):) Annalise {NOT crazy about that spelling} was # 746 last year. Alexandra has been in the top 30s or 20s for the past couple of years.
That definitely makes me lean more towards Annelise but I'd still like to see what ya'll think.
I voted for Annelise!
If you are worried about popularity, you're much better off with Annelise, which has never yet been in the top 1000 names for girls, than Alexandra, which has been in the top 40 every year since 1990. Alexandra is currently ranked #37. Personally, I know at least a dozen Alexandras of various ages, but I've never met an Annelise.
Aside from that, I just like Annelise better. I think it's beautiful, and I like the nickname Annie (though I might be a bit biased!). Also I think Annie goes really well with your boys' names. If you do go with Alexandra, my vote is for the nn Allie over Lexie. I've always like Allie (particularly as a nn for Allison) and I've never been a big fan of Lexie.
I heard the name Annelise for the first time probably a year ago and I fell instantly in love w/ it. Annie has always been my favorite nickname; I can't wait to have a little Annie of my own :):)
I'll probably never get away from it, and the statistics are very reassuring! Thanks for your reply :)
Gotta go with Annelise/Annie for you! ;-)
