Perhaps as a Spanish speaker, I don't hear "anally" or see "anal". And despite what people see, I think the spelling Analia is so much prettier than Annalia - the extra "n" doesn't look quite right to me.

---

That being said, Liliana still gets my vote. I think it's a very pretty name.

Liliana, definitely.

---

I love Liliana, even though it can be a very "liquid" name (you don't need to move your mouth much to say it). I'm sorry, but Annalia - despite the fact that I know its real pronunciation - makes me think of "anally." :-(

Definitely Liliana. Even with the different spelling, people still tend to hear "anally." Its too bad though, because besides that its a pretty name.

I'm one of those people who hates them both lol, although perhaps "hate" is too strong of a word here. Honestly, I don't really have a preference. I dislike them both equally. If I had to choose, I'd probably choose Annalia. I feel swayed in that direction for some reason.

I like Annalia best! (and I like Analia. I see "Ana" and then "lia", not "anal".)

---

Liliana is good too. I've always thought Liliana was very popular on these boards!

I still see 'anal' with Annalia. So, therefore Liliana even though it's too frilly for me.
Or, why not just spell it Anna Leah?

Liliana. Even the double N isn't enough to keep me from seeing the "anal" in Annalia.

I love both names!

Annalia I don't like the spelling of and prefer Annaleigh

---

Liliana is gorgeous! LOVE!

Liliana nn Lily

---

I'm not a fan of either name but the 'anal' thing still puts me off.

Liliana

---

Annalia looks awful, Anna Leah or Anna-Leah would be much better.

---

Liliana used to be one of my faves, nowadays I think it's overly-flowery and complicated and I prefer Lillian. :)

I prefer Liliana; it seems to be more versatile as far as nns go. You can get Ann, Anna and Leah from Annalia, and all of them from Liliana as well; plus you can also use Lili.

---

The only Ann- compound I enjoy would be Marianne, I think. Suzanne is good but not a compound!

---

Annalia still screeches anality to me, I'm afraid, as well as looking like a tweak of the mysteriously popular Annalie.

Liliana

I think Liliana is adorable and so much nicer than Annalia, which looks and sounds a little strange to me. Liliana is so feminine and beautiful.

I'd go with Liliana here. Annalia looks like it could be pronounced uh-NAHL-ee-uh. It remind me of 'anal' too even with the double n.

Liliana. I think people might have issues with the pronunciation of Annalia. Before I read your pronunciation I wanted to say ah-NAHL-ya.

Liliana by a landslide. Annalia is still way to close too "anal" (and I'd wonder if it were ann-uh-LEE-ah or ann-AH-lee-ah).

Liliana. It's just so lilting and beautiful.

Liliana.

I like Annalia a lot too though!
