This is my name, it is spelt Annaliese. I have always loved my name! I have never met another Annaliese, although I live in the USA. I live in a little German town so it fits in perfectly. Since my name is so long little kids call me Anna. And when I volunteer at the senior living they call me Emily. Besides that, I always go by Anna-leese. I'm still only a teenager but I've always loved having a different name; it also ages well.
This happens to be my favorite spelling of Annaliese. It reminds me of the beautiful princess in the Barbie movie 'The Princess and the Pauper'. I absolutely love the sound of this name and it is the best form of Anna variants.
My name is Annelise pronounced Onn-e-lees. I love my name because it is the name of my great aunt and it has a long family history. Sometimes I wish I had a simpler name because people always pronounce it Ann-e-lese. And it is super annoying. But otherwise, I love my name.
A friend just named her daughter this, and all I could think of was "Anal Ease". Please parents - sound out the names to see if there's any opening for teasing.
My name is spelled Annalise, and I love it (although the spelling is a bit too Americanized; I prefer the traditional Annelies, Annelise, Annaliese). I've never met another Annalise before, and I've recieved many compliments. My friends call me Lise (lees) but I go by Annalise in public. There are many nicknames to choose from: Anna, Anne, Annie, Alise, Lise, Lisi, etc. I think it ages well, too. The only problem with it is that someone might realise that it looks like you could pronounce it anal-lees, so steer clear of Anelise or Analise spellings!
Mattel`s Barbie movie character Annelise was very popular among children.

I certainly don`t like this name. It means "princess"? Come on!? It is only good if you or your girl is a princess.

One- this name does NOT mean princess. It's a form of Anneliese which is a combination of the names Anne and Liese- which is a shortened form of Elizabeth.And two, your comment kinda made me laugh (sorry) because well, how many girls do you know named Sarah? Because that name does actually mean princess. Naming your child something that means Princess (like Sarah or Amira) is worlds away from actually naming your child Princess. I love, love, love the name Anneliese but for some reason Annelise just looks wrong to me. Incomplete I guess.
This is my name too, and as said before, people find it very hard to write or pronounce. I'm living in a Dutch speaking region and people tend to pronounce it "annelies" most of the time. No, they have to say it properly :)
This is my name, and I pronounce it AHN-eh-lee-zeh. It is beautiful, and everyone comments on it, but no one can spell it or pronounce it! Beware if you name your daughter Annelise!
