Mmnn, lovely, makes me think of Buffy though

Anya was a very popular German girls name in the 70s, a bit like Clare in the UK.

I think it is nicer than Anna.

I have always loved Anya. Think it is french but I may be wrong. It is a beautiful name and unusual without being odd or too quirky

mopsyflopsy · 27/05/2010 12:24

Anya is lovely.

Anya is no more related to potatoes than Charlotte .

had it on our list but knocked it off due to potato links.

Anna is lovely though.

I like this name but it does make me think of potatoes

winkle2 · 27/05/2010 10:29

what about Anaya instead?

I like it a lot. I have a relative called this. Reminds me a bit of the Body Shop perfume that we all wore as as teenagers . But that's not a bad thing.

I love it, wanted it for DD1 but DP didn't like it.

JimmyTarbuck · 26/05/2010 23:16

I like it, but then I am a Russophile I would have to insist on the short vowelled Anya (not Aaanya) though.

bibbitybobbityhat · 26/05/2010 23:16

Love it

sapell3 · 26/05/2010 23:14

I like it.

YouDontRememberMeDoYou · 26/05/2010 22:43
