How many baby Anna/Annie's do you know?

And which part of the country are you?

Really struggling with baby girl names. DS has an uncommon shortening of a traditional but pretty out of favour name (top 150-200), which we love. We haven't met another and are hoping for similar for baby number 2, but struggling to find it!

I don't know any.

In my teaching career I've only taught one Ana, and she'd be about 16 now.

Annie has been on a downward slope numbers wise since 2015 so the comment above about it suddenly "getting very popular" is not reflected by the actual statistics

Don't know any with either name

MyNameHasBeenTaken · 03/09/2020 22:34

One annie in her 30s
One anna who has just finished school this year
One annie in junior school
One annie in reception year
And bizarrely, identical twins called
Anna and arna (not sure on arna spelling) they must be in school now

One age 6 one 30ish, both Anna. Home Counties

Enough4me · 03/09/2020 01:38

What about Jenny (Jennifer) as a more unusual name?
Or Gennie (Genevieve)?

sorryforswearing · 03/09/2020 01:32

I don’t know any baby Anna’s. I know 2 in their 30’s and I suggested it to one of the mums when she told me they were thinking of Anne. It’s a lovely name.

Heh1991 · 03/09/2020 01:08

I know one Annie who is four and live in the north west! I think Anna/Annie are gorgeous names x

DipSwimSwoosh · 02/09/2020 19:33

One Anna aged 4.

ThatsNotMySheep · 02/09/2020 14:05

Getting very popular in London at the moment. Lots of Annie's in baby groups

NickMarlow · 02/09/2020 14:02

I know one of each age 1, and a 10 year old Anna too.

Firebird83 · 02/09/2020 14:00

None

Unseeliequeen · 02/09/2020 13:29

None.

I know an Anna in her late 60s and an Annie who is God knows how old (could be deceased) wears a red wig. Definitely over 70.

BigGlasses · 02/09/2020 13:13

I know 2 children called Anna, both about 13 (scotland). But I know lots and lots of children so it's all relative. I only know one Jack and no Olivers (top boys names in Scotland/England respectively) so it just goes to show even if it's top of the baby lists, it may not be common where you are. I don't know any Annies - but I love the name!

micc · 02/09/2020 11:13

I dont know of any Anna's or Annie's my DDs age as of yet, she starts school in a few days so maybe there will be some but so far none. I grew up with a friend called Anna, and I know someone who is called Anastasia who is called Annie. They are in their 20s. I am down south by the coast :)

Robs20 · 02/09/2020 07:27

One - I have a 4 month old Annie :). Don’t know any other Annie/ Annas. I am in SE London/ Kent border.

WisestIsShe · 02/09/2020 07:27

None. West Midlands
DD is Anna and 13. She is one of two in her high school of 1000

Littleelffriend · 02/09/2020 07:25

None, I’m in Scotland. Love Anna but DP vetoed because of Frozen

Angelmonkey · 02/09/2020 07:14

I’m in the south east - I know a 12 yo Anna, an 8 yo Annie and a 5 yo Anastasia who is nicknamed Anny

emmathedilemma · 01/09/2020 22:56

Two - approximately 12 and 3. Both Anna. One in Scotland, one NE England.

Mumshappy · 01/09/2020 22:53
