Anna Gabrielle Cooper was born on February 18, 2009. Thank you so much for all the input and advice! Ultimately, I realized that naming my daughter Anna could be a tribute to how I've overcome my eating disorder, just as much as it is a tribute to my husband's late sister. Now that Anna is here, my immediate association is with my beautiful little girl, not with anorexia. (BTW, my husband fully agrees to give my opinion priority when naming our next child.) Once again, thank you!

Beautiful name, and congratulations! :-)
I loved the idea of dual tributes - to the disease you overcame and your husband's sister. I'm so glad it worked out!
i applaud your choice in using the name, a sign of your own good health -- but please don't associate your daughter's name with the fact that you've overcome your eating disorder. this still give the eating disorder a power it doesn't deserve, and your daughter deserves better. it's about your daughter first and foremost and also about the blessed memory of your daughter's aunt.
