Gorgeous name!

I like it! It was on my girls name list along with Anna and Rose. Would you say Anne Ya or Ahn Ya?

Vengeance demon.

However, ignoring the 90s Buffy references Grin I like it.

That's what I always wanted to call my dd, vetoed by DH. Still bitter!

Skeumorph · 18/01/2022 22:16

It's ok, but so much prefer Anna! Why can't you use it?!

Anya Seton is one of my favourite authors. I have always liked the name.

I really like Anya. It’s short and pretty without being too fussy.

Newcarday · 18/01/2022 21:47

I like it, I only know one but she spells it Aanya

I know one woman called Anya, who calls herself Anna. According to her people are having problems getting her actual name right.

differentkindofpenguin · 18/01/2022 21:46

That's my daughter's name 🙂
Not too common, and not too out there/ pretentious, and pretty universal if she goes abroad.
It suits her, she's a sassy, funny, sporty 9 year old
