Anna?

[mumofbumblebea]

what do you think to this name? it has really grown on me, i think it is classic and understated and quite elegant. also there don't seem to be too many baby Anna's about.
what do other people think? somebody mentioned they found it quite boring? does anyone think it is too popular now (i thought my other daughters name, Beatrice, was un-popular but there are three in her nursery class all born within 4 days of each other), and do you think it goes with Beatrice? thanks in advance.

I like it. Don't love it but it's a pretty, timeless name.

Think I only know one (aged 8) and I think she's an Anna Kyra.

I feel like I should know more but fairly sure I don't. It's high up on the lists though (number 63 for 2010 with 956 babies named it)

iskra No waaaaay , am now slightly panicking incase you're dd1s old primary school teacher

Love the name Anna - my best friend is Anna. However, she was nicknamed Anal at school! lol :)

Anna is a lovely name with very positive associations, I think. If you look at famous Anna's: Anna Pavlova, Anna Ford, Dame Anna Neagle. The only remotely dodgy one I can think of is Anna Nicole Smith.

Anna Ruth
Anna Rose
Anna Lucy
Anna Lisa
Anna Louise
Anna Jane
Anna Juliet
Anna Josephine
Anna Madeleine
Anna Maria
Anna Clare

famous Annas not Anna's

Love it. My favourite name but it just didn't go with our surname.

I love it I have an Annalise Claire who is often Anna!
easy to spell at school as well!

Anna Marie, of course!

I love Anna, wanted to name DD that but DH wasn't as keen, we both agreed on Beatrice Annabelle in the end. My friends little one is Annabelle and it's lovely and cute.

well you might have decided by now... but I have a 9 months old Anna and her middle name is Vittoria. I love the name and we gets lots of compliments, also because she is very cute (people say she is very cute) but my son chose it, initially we wanted something different, even if present in my family. I think it is having a come back now, though as there are more than I did expect

Lovely name !

My 3 year old DD2 is Anna Clemency Violet, known as Annie.

My 2 year old DD is Anna Elizabeth bluebell. Great choice and not too many of them about (fingers crossed..)

I know one - I think she is Anna Evelyn.

Weird, I'm Anna Clare too!!!!

i think anna is lovely. it is understated but very elegant

I think its lovely and not too popular either. I only know one who is 2 years old.

So elegant.

Love it. Great name.

I love it BUT it is the only repeated name on DD's class of thirty. There are two Annas and yet only one Isobel, Ella etc. It was also repeated in DD's baby music club. So in my area it is quite popular (which is fine, but just something to be aware of).

Gorgeous. Surprisingly unusual for such a beautiful classic name. I have a niece Anna. It will suit her at any age.

I know a 3 year old Anna, she makes me love the name even more she is the sweetest child.

A beautiful classy name - I have two friends one is Anne and the other Anna. I don't like Annie - I have a problem with a name ending with the sound ie,ee and ey.

I love the name Anna. I wish I could use it but it would make a word with my surname and sound silly. Beautiful, classic and elegant name.

Anna is a great name - really nice, simple classic. It's my sister's name and I would like to see it on a little one (I don't know any little Annas that I can think of)

Love it. I have a beautiful God daughter called Anna Grace, otherwise DD may well have been Anna.
