Opinion Time

Okay folks, I need an opinion. Now that we have to start filling out paper work that requires Ana's full name I suppose we should figure out what her middle name is going to be. When I was pregnant with Ian, we had picked out boys and girls names. There were several girls names we (well at least I) liked. We had agreed though that her middle name would be Michelle after my sister. When we knew we were going to be adopting a little girl, we had initially thought we would name her Lily, and make her name given at birth her middle name. Then we received our referral, and of course her given name was Ana which we both really liked. Our only concern with Ana (pronounced Ah-na) was with the probability that many would Americanize the pronunciation (more like Anna) and she would have to constantly correct people, so we started thinking about naming her Lily Ana, which we both adored but there was still that pull to keeping her birth name as it was given to her (she was not given a middle name in case you were wondering). We eventually decided, largely because time had passed and we knew she was likely getting used to hearing her name as Ana, to go with Ana. Okay so fast forward to today, really doing some thinking about her middle name. Part of me wants to give her a middle name that incorporates both of her families. Her birth mother's middle name is Azucena which is different, I like it but it would never be pronounced correctly and Greg expressed a concern over spelling issues (he's dyslexic in case you weren't aware). I did a search on the meaning of this name and my jaw hit the table with what I read. Would you believe that Azucena means lily?! I am now sure that this is more than a coincidence and that Lily has to be incorporated some how. So, now we have some combination of Ana and Lily. But I also wanted to give her a name that has meaning from our family as well. Some have suggested I use my own name, Camilla, then she would have a name incorporating both of her mothers. Then I keep going back to the fact that if she had been a child born to me, she would probably have received the middle name Michelle. Oh, and sneaking that Lily in as the first name still creeps up on me but she's been called Ana for 7 months now so I don't know (would Liliana sound close enough for her?). So! Here's the variations that we have considered. I would love any input you may have!
