Baby name Anna?

[Movile]

What do you think about Anna? It’s my favourite girls name but wanted views from others too.

I can see why it’s liked and I definitely don’t dislike it but I don’t think I would choose it

It’s lovely and makes a change from the endless Avas and Evies.

Lovely, simple and elegant name

I love it, it's a beautiful name.

Lovely name and also love Hannah.

Love it!

Same.

I've yet to meet one that isn't an utter c*nt. I know 4.

Absolutely love it. Classy, elegant and timeless.

Agree with this. Not one that would make it to my shortlist, but a perfectly lovely name.

Id rather give my child a name that was possibly a little bland or dated than something electrifyingly original and cringe.

It’s beautiful. I have an Auntie Anna, now in her 70’s. My gran told me that she named her Anna as she thought it would be easy for her to spell as it’s the same backwards and forwards 🤣. It is my absolute favourite girls name though and I would do anything for that to be my name instead of the one I’ve got 😆

beautiful.

I don't normally like the kind of names beloved by Mumsnet but I adore Anna. Beautiful, classy name and all the Anna's I've known have been anything but bland & boring!

I prefer Anne myself-but only because I was brought up in a country which pronounces both Ns in Anna, so the English way sounds wrong to me. But this will be an incredibly minority view!

Like Banana?
Which country is this so I can envisage it?

I actually can’t do it without inserting a vowel …

I love the name Anna.

Thank you all for the mixed opinions. Great to hear from both sides and I’ll be sticking with the name choice.

Me too I’ve been trying to work it out!

Malta in my case. But Spain and Italy and lots of places pronounce it An-na too. Not Anna.

Haha I love this story!

Agree!

Has to be the most perfect name 💖💖

I love Anna.

Lovely, timeless and elegant

Why does a name have to be all sparkly lights and fireworks? A child’s personality is what should shine out, not its name.
