Anna is a great name.

Merefin · 17/03/2014 21:15

Anna for sure. Lovely. Classic. Sophisticated. Good for a little girl and an adult.

Too many Sophies.

MadameJosephine · 17/03/2014 21:15

Definitely Anna, beautiful name

BonaDea · 17/03/2014 21:16

Anna. Great name.

FullOfChoc · 17/03/2014 21:22

I'd go with Anna.

There are soo many Sophies, I would go with Anna if I were you.

Would you go with Anna or Anne on the birth certificate? I know someone who has always been an Annie but has Anne on her birth cert because it's the traditional/original version.

Anna was always my favourite name. Sadly, DH didn't like it when it came down to it.

What do people associate with the name Anna / how do you picture someone called Anna Smile ? Probably difficult to answer....

I think Anna is becoming more popular recently. I like both though.

Merefin · 17/03/2014 21:45

Anna is clever and serious but also very kind. Independent.

(Based on Annas I know)

I do like Sophie a lot too.... Apart from it being very popular, what's a lovely Sophie like then as opposed to Anna?

Definitely Anna. Had one of ours been a girl, she would have been Anna or Honor.

HyvaPaiva · 17/03/2014 22:21

Anna

SoftSheen · 17/03/2014 22:22

Definitely Anna!

Jojay · 17/03/2014 22:22

Anna, definitely. Love it.

Mireio · 17/03/2014 23:17

Definitely Anna, although I'm biased since it's my own name ;)

I have 3 year old one Grin She's as my father in law would say ...."a real character". It's a lovely name, I have 3 daughters & it's a name people always comment on, although it's a lot more popular in my neck of the woods than in other places.

I also have a Sofia Grin
