We are due in August and have decided on the name Tallulah! Problem is: my MIL started this tradition where she gave all 4 of her daughters the middle name Ann....and all 4 of them gave their daughters the middle name Ann. They now expect me to fall in line with the tradition. (they have all mentioned it me several times since we've been married). However, I have a step-sister named Ann who has been a very destructive, negative, and unbearably evil person to everyone in my family. She has done such horrible and hateful things to us that I could never bestow her name upon my precious child. I finally called my MIL and explained this to her and she understood completely but asked me to compromise. She wants me to use a name with "Ann" in it somewhere. She suggested Cheyenne. I like Cheyenne for a middle name b/c Ann isn't in it...but it still keep DH's side of the family happy that I compromised.Is the name Tallulah Cheyenne too much???? They are both indian names and I thought maybe that was too much. Does anyone have any other suggestions of middles names with Ann somewhere in there??? another one I have thought of was Tallulah Anabel??? My first choice was going to be Tallulah Jade but I don't want to be looked at as the black sheep in the family who wouldn't compromise. What do you guys think????? Thanks!

In the end, of course it's up to you, and no one can /force/ you to use the middle name Ann. However, it seems like a nice family tradition and it's a shame that it would be ruined because of one nasty person. I like the idea of Tallulah Anabel-- that way the Ann isn't so prominent, but it still honors the tradition. I don't like Cheyenne because it seems tacky and offensive, to be honest!Tallulah is cute, by the way. I love Tally as a nickname.

I think Tallulah Cheyenne is beautiful. I actually prefer it to Tullulah Jade. But juts remember, its YOUR child and YOU get to choose the name. It should be whatever you want it to be. They dont have to live with wht u name her, you and her do!

You're not her daughter and your husband's name isn't Ann. I would tell your MIL that you and hubby talked about it and are still up in the air on the final name but Ann isn't on the top 5 list.Don't feel badly. This is a tradition for her daughters not her sons.BabyCenter has a great message board - Dealing with the Inlaws.

I have no clue why but i like Annatasia im not sure thats how you spell it but it could be Tallulah Annatasia and whatever your last name is

Tallulah Cheyenne is a very nice name...and I am verycritical of names that are given to children these day, I register baby names at the hospital when they are born.Since she will not be using her middle name a lot, that is not too much...how often do you use your middle name???very good...I like it..Tallulah Anabel is stupid sounding...I would not want that name to be stuck on anybody or dog.

[lady31]

[platinum90]

maybe leanne, tanner, or danielle? they have a good flow and don't sound too much like ann =]
