Anne

[Istillgetjealous]

DH really likes Anne but I’m not entirely convinced.
I don’t like Annie or Anna for sure but Anne is one I’m on the fence about.
Any thoughts?

[glitterstarsshower]

Anna is beautiful

[lobsteroll]

Was coming on to say I prefer Anna but the more I've seen Anne written on this thread it is growing on me. Definitely due a comeback, nice solid name.

[Christmadtree]

Every Anne I've ever met have been awful angry middle aged women. Please don't do it.

Anna is much better.

Fab name! And it's mine. I like that there aren't many people of my age with my name. It's with an e, we always call Ann without an e 'unfinished Ann'. It's a great name and many generations of women in my family have the name. Anna is ok but Annie is a bit over used and unoriginal, nice as a pet name. Using Anne for a baby now would be lovely and actually quite unusual.

'awful angry middle aged women'

I'm sure they weren't born middle-aged (as if being middle-aged were such a horror anyway)

[ValancyRedfern]

I am a total Anne of Green Gables obsessive so you can't go wrong with the name Anne imho. Anne Boleyn was also pretty cool.

[RachelEllenRE]

Really like Anna or Anya but Anne is a bit dull for me. Not horrible in any way though!

Middle age doesnt make one any less lovely!

[Bbq1]

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g

Well I'm not awful, angry or middle aged so there you go! I'm sure you have a perfectly normal name that lots of people would hate but hopefully not everyone with that name is rude, ignorant and unthinking...

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

I didn't say that, @Bbq1, I was quoting someone else. I like the names Anne and Ann.

[sandybanana]

My middle name
Is Anne


Prefer Anna to be honest

[AnotherDFSsale]

Headmistress-y. Love Anna though. Or Hannah.

[Bbq1]

My mistake and my apologies @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g.

People like that are just so rude and only because they're online. I bet the person who said that would not walk up to somebody irl and say that.

[bridgetreilly]

Anne nn Nancy.

[Allthebears]

Anne Frank's full name was Annelies/e which is beautiful and still gives the shortened version as an alternative.

[missmouse101]

Annika is lovely but Anne is just dull and awful.

[mynamesmrdiggety]

I really liked Anne when I was pregnant (it's so classic and green gables fan.) I still love it but me and she compromised on Anna. Which I have never liked but it's grown on me now. We have a one syllable surname though so actually a one syllable first name would have been odd. Go for Anne if you love it.

[mynamesmrdiggety]

Me and dh. Or dh and I?

[HeronLanyon]

‘Dh and I compromised’ if ever in doubt just leAve the dh out of it and say would it be ‘I compromised’ or ‘me compromised’ ? The ‘and’ doesn’t change what’s right.
