Is Anna boring ?

We registered our DD yesterday as Anna Vittoria Vera with the idea of calling her just Anna - I quite like it as it works in all languages, but DH is worried that it is a bit of a boring name. We also have a problem in calling her Anna - it seems such an adult name for a baby. ??????????

personally as it's my name I think it's great - my parents picked it as same in english/french/german/italian so all of my family could pronounce it - also I've always liked the fact that it's spelt the same forwards and backwards.

oh and I've never liked Annie or Anne being honest, Anna is beautiful enough :D

I think that it is lovely

thanks ! i think it is nearly a consensus.... and we are liking it more and more, Vittoria and Vera are both family names we feel very attached to it. I wouldn't have minded vera as a first name as well but apparently it hasn't got a nice connotation in england

No, she's a lovely girl!

She's my DD.

Sometimes Nan or Annie.
