Because I know how the German Anneliese is pronounced, I strongly dislike the 'liese' part of the name if the first part isn't spelled 'Anne.' I also think 'analyse/analyze' with the a in the spelling. At least it's not Analiese / Analise / Analyse / Analeese which I've seen quite a few times. I think that's just asking for trouble!

Annalise looks like it will be pronounced the way it looks.

Re: mns, I prefer Christa Faye just because I like it best and also, because I like the flow best when paired with Annalise.

BTW, if this were me, if I were to pronounce the name ahn-uh-LEE-zuh, I'd spell it Anneliese. If I were to pronounce it an-uh-LEESE, then I'd spell it Annelise because it just looks intuitive to me. Then again, that's just me!

Re: Anna, I've only known one person growing up with this name and she was called Annie. Most were Anne / Ann and there weren't many of them. My Anna is a teenager now and has never had another Anna in her classes. She has known more girls named Hannah -- although not too many of them either.
