Anne, Annie or Anna.

[RosieLemonade]

Just that really.

Is Ana the name of one of the sisters in Frozen? Could explain its popularity.

Anna

I'm rather fond of Anne which could then become Annie. It seems rather overlooked these days. I do like Anna too, but I I'm tired of 'ie', 'y' and 'a'-ending names.

Anna is beautiful and classic. My favourite name ever actually.

Annie is pretty and very sweet. Possibly a bit nicknamey as a standalone name?

Anne is classic and elegant but somehow seems a bit neutral and plain at the moment. It'll probably be in fashion again in a few years.

Is Ana the name of one of the sisters in Frozen?

No, she is Anna, but with rather an odd pronunciation.

And I agree that 'Ana' is over-complicating things. I get the impression that some posters thing it's refined to go for French/Spanish/Italian versions of names. It's a bit cringeworthy.

Anna.

Anna.

Well, my vote goes to Anne

Anna, classic and a palindrome - what more could you want!

I have an Anna, nickname Annie. Easy for them to learn to write too!

I’m an owner of the single letter version and agree it’s a PITA. When people ask my name for important purposes, I don’t even say it, I just go A-N-A as it’s easier than Ana-with-one-n - when it’s not important Starbucks they can spell it how they like, I don’t care anymore .

(I’m not British and was given the standard spelling in my home country.)

Anne. It would be refreshing and unusual now, but classic.

I’m an Anna and I like my name. My parents wanted a name that couldn’t really be shortened, so they’ve always said. Never really had a nickname at school or anything, but did get the odd ‘Anna Spanner’ etc.

Although now it looks odd having read it so many times on this thread...

Annie or Anna are both lovely. Anna is so simple and yet so classic. Unappreciated name imo.

Anna

Anna.

Anna

I have an Anna. Sometimes called Ann. Never Annie.
It is the best name ever.

Anne or Anna - both are nice. Anne more traditional in my opinion - that can be good or bad depending on your opinion.

Annie is more of a nickname.

Anna.

Annie!

Annie

I'm an Anne and don't really like it. I think it's bland and dated. I'd much rather be called Anna. Somehow the difference of one letter makes it more elegant somehow.
