[Opinions] Re: Annalisa, Annelise or Anneliese?
in reply to a message by Ylva
Annelise and Annalise are getting a bit trendy here in the U.S. I prefer the Anneliese spelling, but I also prefer the ANN-ah-lees pronunciation over the German one (ah-nah-LEE-zah, I think). I'd be more likely to use it as a mn, though, if at all.
I don't particularly love Annalisa (just seems like Anna + Lisa, but if it's a "real" name where you live, it's just fine then I suppose), but I don't see it as "inappropriate" at all. I only see 'anal' if spelled with one N, like Analise, Analisa, etc. I believe there's a lubricant called Anal-Ease (Anal-Eeze?) so that tends to come to my mind when I see Annelise or it's variants with the Anal- spellings. I suppose the "Ana" dictates the pronunciation of AH-nah ove ANN-ah, but I wouldn't advise Analise or Analisa to be used in English speaking countries. :b
Wow, I rambled on quite a bit. :-/ What was the question again? LOL.
