Anna or Nina

Just that really. We will use one or the other as both are family names that mean a lot to us. We may use the other for any future child. But which for our first? Which do you prefer?

Anna is my most favourite girls name in the world

I’m not so sure on Nina

LadyLolaRuben · 10/03/2022 06:56

Anna, its classic and timeless

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 10/03/2022 06:57

Anna.

FuggyPidding · 10/03/2022 06:58

Anna

Though both are lovely :)

HereBdragons · 10/03/2022 07:01

Nina :)

Nina - I find Anna more dull.

Nina - I find Anna more dull.
Nina

Same reason

Nina

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 10/03/2022 07:13

I prefer Anna.

I wouldn’t choose Nina in the future with Anna though. They are way too similar.

Ff10n · 10/03/2022 07:15

Nina I think. More unusual, and it's got a bit more sass to it.

MrsBertBibby · 10/03/2022 07:21

Beautiful names. Nina was one of my top girl names, although Anna wasn't on the table as it was already taken.

I do think they are a bit close in sound for siblings, though.

NoSquirrels · 10/03/2022 07:22

Love them both, beautiful.

I’d choose Nina first.

DazzlePaintedBattlePants · 10/03/2022 07:27

Nina is super popular at the moment - I know 3 nursery age or early primary. Anna is classic.

DotDotDotDotDot · 10/03/2022 09:47

Both lovely but I prefer Nina, it just seems more interesting.

emmathedilemma · 10/03/2022 10:15

Anna, it's one of my favourites.

RobinBlackbird · 10/03/2022 10:16

Anna for me.

Hikoridikori · 10/03/2022 10:26

Anna is a classic one which I love.

Nina I am not keen... Sounds a bit like a nn to me.

Zillamop · 10/03/2022 11:40

Anna

Zillamop · 10/03/2022 11:40

... or Annina.

feelingbetternowthanks · 10/03/2022 11:41

I have a Nina, and love it obviously. One thing I liked about it is that it is never super popular, never unpopular, long history, not obviously connected to time, class, age, ethnicity, etc. 10/10 name.

But Anna is gorgeous too!

Nina - I find Anna more dull.
Nina, agree with this
Toodleloodle · 10/03/2022 14:50

Nina! Gorgeous name. Anna is so dull...

DramaAlpaca · 10/03/2022 14:53

Anna would be my choice.

Nina isn't such a strong name, I don't think.

sadpapercourtesan · 10/03/2022 14:56

Anna, though it's a bit meh.

I loathe Nina. It's one of about 4 names I just irrationally can't stand.

MissCarolina · 10/03/2022 14:57

Anna
