What do you think about Anna? It’s my favourite girls name but wanted views from others too.

I think it's plain and boring and in many countries it's dated.

Everyone in mn will absolutely love it. Classic! Timeless! Everyone in real world will think its quite bland and boring

Ha! Ha! - I love it!

I met my first at the ripe old age of 18 at university and thought how lovely it was and how strange that it was uncommon.

I’m a big Anna Karenina fan though so that may be at play. I like the fact it is easy to spell and works in all languages and it is neither fashionable nor obscure.

I’m biased, but as a 40-something year old Anna, I love my name.
