What do you think of Anna? Is it boring?

I really like it. I agree it's timeless and classic.

I know several. I know that in two cases the parents chose it because they wanted a name that worked well in different countries. For example, one couple (British) were living in Italy when their daughter was born and they wanted a name that worked as well there as it did here.

I changed my name from something similar (a name ending in -anna) to Anna and I love it. I think it feels cheerful and upbeat. I've lived abroad a lot and it works well internationally. And it's common enough to not have issues with spelling but I don't personally meet that many Annas.

This was the name I planned to use if I'd had a girl. I've always loved it!

Nope - not boring, it's a simple, underused classic with an elegant, international vibe (Anna Karenina etc). If there wasn't an Anna already in the family it would be my number one pick for a girl. It fun that it's a cool palindrome too!

I like Anna! As others have said, it is simple and classic without being boring. I think it works for all ages too. A lovely choice!

I knew a girl at school called Anna. Very bossy and put me off for life!
Anne?

Classic and beautiful. Not boring!

Dull.

I do like Marianna though.
