What are your thoughts on Anne? Not Anna, Annabel, Anneliese etc just Anne, possibly nn Annie.

Also any suggestion for other similar type of 'plain names' like Anne, Jane etc

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It's perfectly ok but a bit boring imo

Toilenstripes · 01/06/2021 20:54

A beautiful name. Go for it.

reprehensibleme · 01/06/2021 20:54

Elegant, simple, rare these days. Annie is nice for a little girl.

CTR1000 · 01/06/2021 20:54

I love it. And Annie is a perfect NN for a little girl.

I love Anne. Wanted it as a middle name but it doesn’t work with our surname. I think it’s classic and beautiful.

DramaAlpaca · 01/06/2021 20:53

Lovely. A short, simple, underused classic.

AnneLovesGilbert · 01/06/2021 20:52

It’s a good name.

SirVixofVixHall · 01/06/2021 20:52

I really like it. Elegant, timeless, sweet on a little child, graceful on an adult woman.

Goodbyecustardtart · 01/06/2021 20:51

Anne is lovely.
I don’t like Mary or Joan.
Kate? Elizabeth?

UrgentExit · 01/06/2021 20:50

I love it. Besides if she were to grow up with a quirky character, then nicknames are always a possibility. I don't mean predetermined pet names, but nicknames that come about from life.

KitchenWarrior · 01/06/2021 20:47

Anne is lovely.

I also like Mary and Sally.

SemperIdem · 01/06/2021 20:44

I like it. You will be ahead of the next curve too, name wise

PurrBox · 01/06/2021 20:43

Lovely

Itsprobablynothingbut · 01/06/2021 20:41

It's a pretty name and will be quite unusual for a girl born now. No downsides for me, OP.

NorthernDramaLlama · 01/06/2021 20:40

Big fan of Anne, here.

TatianaBis · 01/06/2021 20:37

Dated.

DotDotDotDotDot · 01/06/2021 20:09

Well if you’re actually looking for a ‘plain’ name then Anne and Jane fit the bill perfectly. Maybe Mary or Joan? They have a similar feel.

Dalmationcoat · 01/06/2021 19:27

Love Anne

Fyredraca · 01/06/2021 19:26

It's lovely, a classic for a reason

Branleuse · 01/06/2021 19:24

It sounds a bit plain, but also classic.
I do know a young Anne and it suits her
