[Opinions] Middle name(s) for Anniina?

Would Alina work as 2nd middle name with fn Anniina? Or are the names too similar? First middle name would be a 2 syllable name beginning with L.

Do you have any other middle name suggestions for Anniina? Names should be Finnish or at least usable in Finland.

My best friend's name is Elina Annina (yes, one I) and I always found it a bit too rhymey, but I love both names. That said, I think Alina is too similar to Anniina. Have you decided on an L name for the first middle name?

Some suggestions for a second mn:
Eeva
Emilia
Esteri
Heli
Iida
Jenni
Katja
Katri
Kerttu
Kyllikki
Maija
Maritta
Marja
Marjo
Noora
Piia
Raakkeli
Ritva
Reija
Roosa
Saara
Seija
Senja
Silja
Sirja
Taija
Tarja
Teija
Tuulia
Tuulikki
Ulla
Veera

From your suggestions I like:
Emilia - Anniina Emilia sounds very nice. And it would have a nice family connection. But I can't use this name because Emilia reminds me of someone I'd rather not remember.
Katja - One of my favorite names ever. If I was going to have children I would probably use Katja Alina. I think Katja would be nice as 1st middle name with a 3(+) syllable 2nd middle name (Anniina Katja __________).
Iida - Would be very nice as 1st mn with a longer 2nd mn.
Katri - I really like this. Would be nice as 1st middle name with a 3(+) syllable 2nd middle name. I've also been thinking about using Katriina/Katariina as 1st or 2nd mn, but unfortunately they rhyme with Anniina.
Silja - Would be very nice as 1st mn with a longer 2nd mn.
Tarja - I like this name but on someone else.
Tuulia - Anniina Tuulia is actually kind of nice. Tuulia would also work as a 2nd mn with shorter 1st mn.

I think they are too similar, even though they don't actually rhyme in Finnish.

I'm all for shorter name combos, so I'd stick with just two names.

Anniina Lauren

comes to mind.

I actually prefer two name combos too, but I'm having hard time finding any nice combos with Anniina as first name.

Anniina Lauren is something I've never thought of, but it actually sounds nice. Too bad it doesn't really work with the surname in question.

Unfortunately, Anniina and Alina are very similar and they both end on -ina, which means they also rhyme. Personally, I wouldn't do that; not even as second middle name.
Just my two cents.

BTW, I like Anniina (spelt Annina).

I'm not familiar enough with Finnish names to suggest any I'm afraid.
