Anna 100%. Really dislike Anne and Annie I'm afraid.

I have an Anna. I call her Annie. Its a safe nice name. My daughter loves her name.

I like Anna

Anna

Annie I really like, it’s sweet.

my middle name is Ann and quite frankly I find it old fashioned but not in a good way - I actually cringe when it’s used (sorry) 😬

I don’t mind Anna but feel it’s outdated too, I went to school with a few Anna’s and I’m in my 30’s.

Anna is lovely

joystir59 · 16/06/2020 15:03

Anna is so timeless and lovely, and every Anna I've known has been a really special person

soanco68 · 16/06/2020 15:03

Annie, I am Anna. and really dislike it, never called it

We know a couple of little Annie’s, although I have to say I prefer Anna. Ana is a bit difficult. Our friend’s called their daughter Ana (pronounced Ah-na) and they spend a lot of time explaining that it’s only one ‘n’ and it’s not said Anna.

Anna. I feel like Annie should be short for something.

Anna and you could use Annie as a nn.

newmum332 · 16/06/2020 13:27

Definitely Anna!

Anna

Anna!

SnowdropFox · 16/06/2020 12:50

Annie for me. The others don't fit with a child for me tbh. That's my taste though.

FriedasCarLoad · 16/06/2020 11:42

Anna or Anne. Both lovely. Annie makes a lovely nickname, but the other two are better for her actual name.

Iwalkinmyclothing · 16/06/2020 11:37

Anna.

PawPatrolMakesMeDrink · 16/06/2020 11:34

My sister is an Anna. She sometimes get the nickname of Spanner, but never Annie.

@FondantPud

"Why Ana? They'll spend their lives telling people "No, it's only one N". Unless op isn't English. Why the need to complicate everything?"

That's an animated response! Must be sensitive for you in some way 😂

Not in the least. Not everything has to be triggering. Bizarre that you think it should be?
