How about River Anneliese Raquel?

---

It's much less of a tongue twister, and honours them more directly, even though I know you didn't want to make it so obvious. I really don't see how Rhiannon could honour Rachel and Ann.

Love Rhiannon, but not River or Branwen. It definitely works for Ann, but I'm unsure about Rachel.

I love both Branwen and Rhiannon but not together and not with River.
I don't see Rhiannon as being a namesake for Rachel and Ann, because for me a namesake means using the persons real name or a very close equivilent

Yep, me too.

I agree with what's been said below.

Separately, I like Branwen and Rhiannon. Though I'm not particularly inclined to use them, I would love to see them in a birth announcement. However, when used together and side-by-side, the names are a little too Welsh and a little too mythological for my tastes, and it ends up looking like you're trying too hard. Also, River Branwen Rhiannon is a tongue-twister of a combo. River Branwen Rhiannon=Sarah sells seashells by the seashore. Plus, Branwen and Rhiannon rhyme in a most uncomplimentary way.

As for a namesake for Rachel and Ann...I can see where you would be honouring an Ann, but it's a little too far-fetched to use Rhiannon to honour a Rachel.
