Re: Thoughts on Anneliese
I like it, but I'm used to hearing it pronounced AN-uh-lees, which is the main pronunciation in English. The spelling is thus more commonly Annalise, but I don't like the way that looks, I think Anneliese looks much prettier. Though I imagine this might cause confusion if she were to visit Germany or the Netherlands... or Belgium, or Luxembourg...Annelise is also pretty (basically, I prefer that one letter to be an E rather than an A), but perhaps the least intuitive of all spellings.As for nicknames, Annie would be more easily acquired in an Anglophone country, if she would get a nickname at all. In a Germanic country Liesel would be cute.Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381
