How many baby Anna/Annie's do you know?

And which part of the country are you?

Really struggling with baby girl names. DS has an uncommon shortening of a traditional but pretty out of favour name (top 150-200), which we love. We haven't met another and are hoping for similar for baby number 2, but struggling to find it!

I don't know any Anna/Annie's under 10, but I have taught an Ana (Anastasia) who would be about 14 now.

I love it, personally. DD has a variation of it as a middle name.

I don't know any. Anna is on my list of girl names though (if I end up getting pregnant again and it happens to be a girl)

Jfw82 · 01/09/2020 21:40

1 Anna and 1 Annie both age 3 (in South East)

Babies, I know one at the moment who is an Anna, but I know five more Anna or Annie’s under 6. There are two Anna’s in my DDs class at school and an Annie at her ballet. Top 150-200 is a pretty popular name, but why not look in the same bracket?

Rosa seems to fit the bill, at 154 last year, and you could have it as an uncommon shortening for something longer maybe?

SqidgeBum · 01/09/2020 21:42

I know two Anna's (both 3) and one Annie (not 1 yet).

SqidgeBum · 01/09/2020 21:43

Sorry, two at home in Ireland, and one where we live in the South West.

butterry · 01/09/2020 21:49

London/Surrey border. I know 6 Annas and 2 Annies 5 years old and under so must be popular around here.

1 teenage Annie but also expect to see a rise in popularity for the name Annas as one of the lovely Yorkshire Farm children is called Annas

Flymetothestars · 01/09/2020 22:48

Don't know any

Mumshappy · 01/09/2020 22:53

I have an Annie. Shes 10. I dont know any others. I think its at 300 and something in the baby name charts.
I know two Annas. One is 9 and other is in her 30s.

emmathedilemma · 01/09/2020 22:56

Two - approximately 12 and 3. Both Anna. One in Scotland, one NE England.

Angelmonkey · 02/09/2020 07:14

I’m in the south east - I know a 12 yo Anna, an 8 yo Annie and a 5 yo Anastasia who is nicknamed Anny

Littleelffriend · 02/09/2020 07:25

None, I’m in Scotland. Love Anna but DP vetoed because of Frozen

WisestIsShe · 02/09/2020 07:27

None. West Midlands
DD is Anna and 13. She is one of two in her high school of 1000

Robs20 · 02/09/2020 07:27

One - I have a 4 month old Annie :). Don’t know any other Annie/ Annas. I am in SE London/ Kent border.

micc · 02/09/2020 11:13

I dont know of any Anna's or Annie's my DDs age as of yet, she starts school in a few days so maybe there will be some but so far none. I grew up with a friend called Anna, and I know someone who is called Anastasia who is called Annie. They are in their 20s. I am down south by the coast :)

BigGlasses · 02/09/2020 13:13

I know 2 children called Anna, both about 13 (scotland). But I know lots and lots of children so it's all relative. I only know one Jack and no Olivers (top boys names in Scotland/England respectively) so it just goes to show even if it's top of the baby lists, it may not be common where you are. I don't know any Annies - but I love the name!

Unseeliequeen · 02/09/2020 13:29

None.

I know an Anna in her late 60s and an Annie who is God knows how old (could be deceased) wears a red wig. Definitely over 70.

Firebird83 · 02/09/2020 14:00

None

NickMarlow · 02/09/2020 14:02

I know one of each age 1, and a 10 year old Anna too.

1940s · 02/09/2020 14:03

Getting very popular in London at the moment. Lots of Annie's in baby groups
