Names with "an"


I recently got an email from a reader asking for some naming inspiration.

Fiona writes:

My first 2 children both have a theme of "an" - Marianne and Kassandra. It happened accidentally, but the more we think about future names, the more we seem attracted to this sound. It would be great to have some help and inspiration please! 
Our second child was only born this year, so we are jumping the gun a little but we do plan a 3rd child (hopefully, as obviously thanks to mother nature's blips, having a child is not in our complete control!) and our experience is that it is never too early to start thinking about names.

With many thanks,
Fiona 

Past the page break I have put together an exhaustive list of names with -an in them. I've italicised the ones I think work best with Marianne and Kassandra. Feel free to leave your thoughts or suggestions for Fiona in the comments. If you have a naming question that you would like me to post on the blog, feel free to email me at skihm (at) hotmail (dot) com.

Preppy Names Part One: Girls

Image Credit
Preppiness is something I come in contact with a lot. At my high school, it's considered very stylish to be "preppy." It's not my style, but considering that so many young people identify as preppy, I thought I'd come up with a list of baby names to match their look. Check back on Friday for part two.

Lainie (also Lanie, Lainey, Laney, and Leinie) is a very cutesy nickname. Most people would say that she doesn't quite stand up as a full name. I beg to differ, but if you insist, here are some full forms that would work, either by the sound or spelling.

Expected:
Delaney
Elaine
Elena
Helena
Lana
Lane
Lena
Magdalena

Unique:
Alana
Landry
Leilani

Svetlana

Unheard of:
Brilane
