WDYT? Not necessarily as siblings. I've just been liking both recently.

I first heard Anise in a video game - she was one of the main characters. I was suprised to find out it was a real name. I didn't really like it at first, but it's grown on me. It could be a kind of alternative to An- names, or even to Alice, I guess. Unfortunately, it does kind of bear a resemblance to "anus," so it would probably be relegated to middle name status. A couple combos I've come up with:

---

Felicity Anise
Gwendolen Anise
Josephine Anise
Melanie Anise

It's kind of hard because so many girls' names I like end in A or other vowel sounds. :/ Any suggestions? I kind of like Gwendolen Anise, but I'm not sure.

Molly I have kind of an on-again, off-again relationship with. Right now it's on again. I think it's mostly because of the piece "Molly on the Shore" by Percy Grainger. I'm in love with that song (I'm actually listening to it right now). I first heard it last year when our band went to festival and another group played it. It's one of those songs that I WILL have my band play someday when I'm a director, because I just love it so much. So anyway, my love of "Molly on the Shore" is transferring to the name Molly. I now associate that name with the song and I can't help but love it. Plus, it could also be a subtle way of honoring my grandmother and sister, as they're both Mary. I'm not thrilled with the popularity, though. I guess it could be worse, but I'm hoping it drops some in the next few years.

Anyway, I think I like it enough to use it as a first name, but I could go either/or with this one. Combos I've got for this one are:

---

Molly Celia
Molly Clementine
Molly Elspeth
Molly Helen (though this would be very close to my grandmother's name, Mary Helen)
Molly Karen
Molly Susannah

---

Ada Molly
Enid Molly
Isadora Molly
Susannah Molly

Any thoughts on the names themselves, the combos listed, and/or suggestions for more combos would be greatly appreciated. :)
