Sallyanne is alright, But I think that Sally Anne or Sally-Anne would do just fine.
Sally Anne Grace is nice.
Sally Ana Grace is also quite pretty, but Ana should be pronounced ah-na.
Sally Anne Elizabeth and Sally Anne Katherine are both lovely. Other suggestions inlude:

---

Maria
(Sally Ana) Isabella/ Isabel
Louisa
Irene
Violet
Therese/ Theresa/ Teresa
Adele
Bettina
Lydia
Jane
Rebekah.

---

I don't like Sally Anne as a mn.

---

Hope this helps!

I really dislike Sally. I picture a plain, overweight girl. And Anne is nothing to write home about - it's so generic. Sorry.

---

Sallyanna is quite a lot nicer.

Why not simply Sally Anne?

---

Sally Anne in two words but using both names.

---

Anna/Anne means "grace" so I find Grace as mn a bit redundant.

---

Sallyanne Elise flows well. Or Elise Sallyanne.

I've never cared for Sally but I can understand wanting to honor a family member. What about using Sallyanne as a mn?

---

ETA: You could name her Sarah Anne or Sarah Grace and call her Sally, since Sally is another form of Sarah, right? And Anne basically means 'grace' so you could use either/or.

If you want her to be called Sallyanne, then I definitely think you should keep them together. Once you separate them, she will be called Sally and you will have to continually remind people that her name is Sallyanne.

Signed, Julie Anne who wish her mom would have spelled her name Julianne :)

I think that Sally-Anne or Sally Anne would look better. Smushed together, it takes away from the charm of both names--rather like, say, Arcadiarose isn't half so fine as Arcadia Rose or Arcadia-Rose would be. Sally-Anne seems very sweet, though; I think that it's nice of you to use Sally (which I LOVE and which definitely has a modern edge, thanks to Jack and Sally) in honour of your grandmother.

I would pair Sally-Anne with something a bit less common than Grace, personally, but then, I simply don't like Grace. Combos that I'd go for:

---

Sally-Anne Mercy
Sally-Anne Mireia
Sally-Anne Joy / Sally-Anne Joyce
Sally-Anne Maura
Sally-Anne Virginia
Sally-Anne Tuesday
Sally-Anne Pamela
Sally-Anne Bernadette
Sally-Anne Josepha
Sally-Anne Melinda
Sally-Anne Violet
Sally-Anne Lydia
Sally-Anne Mariam / Miriam
Sally-Anne Calliope
Sally-Anne Heloise

---

My favourites are Sally-Anne Mercy, Sally-Anne Joyce, and Sally-Anne Tuesday. :)

"Phineas. That's an interesting name."
"Yeah. It's Latin for 'kick me'."

I like Sallyanne Grace.
I don't like either of the Sallyanna's. I think it's just a bit too much.
Elizabeth and Katherine are nice but with a long first name like Sallyanne I think you should just find a one syllable name of the mn...like Grace or:
Leigh (Sallyanne Leigh)
Dawn (Sallyanne Dawn)
Jade (Sallyanne Jade)
Rose (Sallyanne Rose)
Jayne (Sallyanne Jayne)
May (Sallyanne May)
Kate (Sallyanne Kate)

---

Or maybe a simple two syllable name
Elise (Sallyanne Elise)
Maia (Sallyanne Maia)
Tayla (Sallyanne Tayla)

---

and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
