Re: Anne or Ellen
Alexander is pushing for Helen. I'm meh on it. I agree that neither Anne or Ellen really go with Miriam, which is OK. They don't clash like my siblings' names (although Miriam might get the a similar look of disbelief when she states her sister has the uber-common name Anne.)I'm glad someone picked Samuel. It's my favorite.Thankfully we are waiting at least another year for baby two, perhaps we'll have figured it put by then.

Really? I wouldn't blink if I met sisters named Miriam and Anne. They're both old-fashioned and simple. *shrug*

Miriam is more common than Anne, I don't think she'll get many disbelieving looks for that. I can't explain exactly why they don't go together to me. You're right, they don't clash, but I guess... Anne and Ellen seem kind of stern, I guess? While Miriam doesn't give me that kind of vibe.

Well, maybe Miriam is more popular for babies, but I wonder if there are more living Annes/Anns or Miriams? I'm betting on Anne/Ann.
