Both names are lovely with the surname.

Anna out of those 2.

Or Elsa. Smile

Anna Green sounds lovely

okydokethen · 25/08/2024 21:31

Anya for sure

Anna, I don’t like Anya. Annie is cute too.

Anna Green is lovely

ProvincialLady2024 · 25/08/2024 21:40

Anna is pretty. I think Anya is harsh.

Raionsbyaeaarct · 25/08/2024 21:42

My daughter is Anya so I'm biased. It's never been shortened to 'Ann' whereas Anna may be. Not sure if that's important to you.

Anna Green Gables

Anna

Anya isn’t awful but it’s a bit harsh

But Annabel Green sounds the best, I have to say..

Er, I think that’s equally likely. Although it’s usually Annie

If you go Annabel you could then choose between Anna and Anya when you want

Anna Green Gables

This was my first thought too!

I love the name Anna but personally wouldn’t use it with the surname Green.

Anya is lovely and more unusual, I’d choose that.

But Anne of green gables is great so not a bad thing to be associated with. I don’t think I would let that put me off.

Anna.

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 26/08/2024 09:55

Anya is more interesting.
