Anne

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Anne? Not Anna, Annabel, Anneliese etc just Anne, possibly nn Annie.

Also any suggestion for other similar type of 'plain names' like Anne, Jane etc

I love it.

Lovely name. Due a comeback.

Anne is a classic name, but I don't think it's a timeless classic like some are suggesting as there's a very expected age range for an Anne, in a way there isn't for Elizabeth or Thomas. Anne is very refreshing though against the vowel heavy names which are popular with girls at the moment.

I like Anne and I like ‘boring’ names!

My girl name was Anna (I had a DS) and that would have been named for an Anne who is a very close relative (an alive relative so I wanted a variation rather than same name).

I also like Mary, Kate, Alice, Kay and Erin which imo also fit the bill.

I like it, and it’s both classic and works contemporarily. I know a teenage Annie and that’s lovely too.

I prefer Anna....... Which can also be Anne.

I like either though, if you like it then go for it.

Also like Eve, which is short but lovely.

I don’t mind it

I much prefer Eve, Beth and Kate though.

I'm obviously a fan. Classic.

Too plain - sorry. I like classic names, but Anne is just dull. I like Annie and Anna.

Utterly boring. Of all the beautiful names you could choose, and you want Ann!

I'm a 50 something Anne and the only person left that calls me that is my husband when I've pissed him off, been going by Annie for a long time now, just naturally morphed into it, from my friends using it more and more, obviously I still have to use for legal documents and because of the 'e' I'm always getting letters to
Mrs Ann witherane surname!!!!!!

I have an Anne and I think it's fab, obviously. Very unusual name for her age group, so never having to be Anne A, Anne B, Anne C... Annie is a natural nickname, and you can always give her a second name to play with.

I don't like it, very old fashioned. I think Anna is ok.

Anne is a beautiful name imo.

Love it I have an Annie though so may be biased. I kinda wonder if she might drop the i but doesn’t seem to.

Similar names I think are Mary, Greta / Maggie (you can’t have both), Ellen, Edith and Hilda. All cool kid names and not fluffy.

I'm usually a massive fan of old lady names but I can't warm to Anne. Anna and Annie are so much nicer, Anne is so dowdy in comparison.

Hilda is not, has never been, and never will be a 'cool kid name'.

Well, as long as it's spelled with an 'e'.

I think it's a lovely name. Generally speaking, I think you can't go wrong with any woman's name that has belonged to a Queen regnant in the countries of the UK.

Lovely
