Love it

Beautiful.

A blank slate she can make her own.

Travels well.

I’m Anna. I love it. One friend calls me Annie which I love too.

Pretty and not over used

Classic and elegant.

It's nice.

I would probably jazz it up a bit and have Annabelle, but then I like very feminine names.

But you can't go wrong with Anna. I grew up with lots - often nicknamed Anna Banana! (said with American accent!)

Loved it , husband wasn't keen as he thought it would be confused and mispronounced as Hannah 🤷🏻‍♀️we went with Ella which has similar vibe but it's more popular

Very nice. Classic.

Anna is smart and sweet.

Spidey66 · 27/04/2026 10:00

I love it.

Funnily enough my name is Anne and I hate it, to me it's stuck in a 60's time warp. However I love Anna, Hannah and Aine (Irish form of Ann/e, my parents were Irish.)

It's lovely.

I have an Anna, she's 13 and an absolute delight. We felt it was a timeless, sophisticated, international name.

We're university lecturers and a disproportionate number of academics seem to have daughters named Anna for some reason! (always Anna, not Hannah, Annabel etc)

And she tells me that no-one has ever called her AnnaBanana, despite everyone seeming to think that's a thing for the Annas of the world...😀

Absolutely classic and beautiful
