I heard of a new baby today called Anne. I haven't heard this name being used for years. It would be nice to see it make a comeback.

I know a gorgeous girl called Anne, she certainly doesn't look boring Grin

It's pretty I like it.

CallieQ · 28/07/2023 01:03

Anna much nicer

I prefer Annie or Anna/Ana.

Londonlady1423 · 27/07/2023 21:08

Not a fan on Anne
Anna is better

DuchessOfSausage · 27/07/2023 19:46

I prefer Ann. Anna and Annie are also nice.

chalkyc2 · 27/07/2023 17:23

I love Analiese - one of my top girls names!

continentallentil · 27/07/2023 17:18

I like it although I think it needs an interesting surname

Anna and Annabel are popular though, and there are zillions of Annies, so it’s around.

I reckon in 10-20 years they’ll be a real Peter and Jane mid century revival so it’ll come back then

UncleRadley · 27/07/2023 16:40

I think it's beautiful

Snoopsnoggysnog · 27/07/2023 16:26

I like how it looks written down but it’s not a very nice sound IMO - one syllable which just sounds like a whine

SilverGoldFishSticks · 27/07/2023 16:24

I prefer:

Annabel
Anais
Anaya

It was boring a few decades ago but now a little Anne will stand out in a sea of Graces, Sophies, Ellas and Lilys.

I adore both Anna and Annie but Anne is just an old woman to me.

drpet49 · 27/07/2023 15:52

Booooooooring

newfloorplease · 27/07/2023 15:51

Anna is so much nicer
I dislike Annie.

DinnaeFashYersel · 27/07/2023 15:49

Anne will only be a baby for a short time and will grow up with a classic that has stood the test of time.

mommacots · 27/07/2023 15:45

Love Anna, was a strong contender when we had DC but it didn't go with our surname. However, really not keen on Anne. It just seems so boring in comparison

HarrietJet · 27/07/2023 15:44

I like it. Slightly prefer Anna, though.

EmmaPaella · 27/07/2023 15:42

I think it's nice. Although classic, it was very very popular for 1950s girls, like Mary or Margaret, and it probably went out of fashion for that reason.

Dombasle · 27/07/2023 15:39

I can only think of this now when I hear the name Anne. Sorry.

YallaYallaaa · 27/07/2023 15:33

I like it. Snappy and classic.

hugefanofcheese · 27/07/2023 15:30

Elegant, classic and simple

IDontHarte · 27/07/2023 15:28

Classic IMO and refreshing. Prefer Anna though or Annie
