I'm afraid Annelise is a little too much with our last name (Alexander), although we'd probably call her Claire anyway. Lily Claire would be used as one name ... Thoughts?

Definetly Annalise Claire. I'm finding that Lily is really gaining in popular and I'm sure it will be the next BIG name. If you want to avoid that, Annalise is a beautiful choice.

If you're going to use Claire, then make that the first name. I grew up using my middle name, and it was always (and still is) a hassle. It makes the first days of school tough because you're always correcting teachers and it's hard to fill out paperwork.

I think Claire Lillian Alexander is beautiful. Claire Annelise is nice too, but is a bit long when you add the last name.

I think Annelise Alexander is fine. I prefer Annelise much more than Lily.
