Annalia or Liliana?
Two names most people on these boards hate, but I love. I must be weird. ;)Which do you prefer?Annalia is prn Anna Leah btw. The Spanish spelling is actually Analia, but I know all people can see with that is 'anal'. :)Thanks in advance. :)

Perhaps as a Spanish speaker, I don't hear "anally" or see "anal". And despite what people see, I think the spelling Analia is so much prettier than Annalia - the extra "n" doesn't look quite right to me.That being said, Liliana still gets my vote. I think it's a very pretty name.

Liliana, definitely.I love Liliana, even though it can be a very "liquid" name (you don't need to move your mouth much to say it). I'm sorry, but Annalia - despite the fact that I know its real pronunciation - makes me think of "anally." :-(

Definitely Liliana. Even with the different spelling, people still tend to hear "anally." Its too bad though, because besides that its a pretty name.

I'm one of those people who hates them both lol, although perhaps "hate" is too strong of a word here. Honestly, I don't really have a preference. I dislike them both equally. If I had to choose, I'd probably choose Annalia. I feel swayed in that direction for some reason.

I like Annalia best! (and I like Analia. I see "Ana" and then "lia", not "anal".)Liliana is good too. I've always thought Liliana was very popular on these boards!

I still see 'anal' with Annalia. So, therefore Liliana even though it's too frilly for me.
Or, why not just spell it Anna Leah?

DH doesn't like Anna. He thinks it's plain. He isn't into double first names either.

Liliana. Even the double N isn't enough to keep me from seeing the "anal" in Annalia.

LilianaAnnalia looks awful, Anna Leah or Anna-Leah would be much better.Liliana used to be one of my faves, nowadays I think it's overly-flowery and complicated and I prefer Lillian. :)

I prefer Liliana; it seems to be more versatile as far as nns go. You can get Ann, Anna and Leah from Annalia, and all of them from Liliana as well; plus you can also use Lili.The only Ann- compound I enjoy would be Marianne, I think. Suzanne is good but not a compound!Annalia still screeches anality to me, I'm afraid, as well as looking like a tweak of the mysteriously popular Annalie.

LilianaI think Liliana is adorable and so much nicer than Annalia, which looks and sounds a little strange to me. Liliana is so feminine and beautiful.

I'd go with Liliana here. Annalia looks like it could be pronounced uh-NAHL-ee-uh. It remind me of 'anal' too even with the double n.

Liliana. I think people might have issues with the pronunciation of Annalia. Before I read your pronunciation I wanted to say ah-NAHL-ya.

Liliana by a landslide. Annalia is still way to close too "anal" (and I'd wonder if it were ann-uh-LEE-ah or ann-AH-lee-ah).

Liliana. It's just so lilting and beautiful.
