Oh I love this name!! It goes perfectly with the other two names.

I think it's lovely and goes very well with Grace and Maya.

It's different without being weird

It is a very common name in Germany (spelt Anja). I know several - one of ds2's godmothers is one. I think it's nice enough but am not mad on it. It's certainly not silly though.

Think it is lovely

Well I would HOPE it's not a silly no name . It's lovely and people will NOT keep calling her Anna, they will comment on what a beautiful name she has.

It means gracious which is nice. Does it go with Grace & Maya though?

nice name

I quite like it but stupid people will probably call her Anna all the time and she will spend her life correcting them.
