My DD is Anya - potatoes have never come up in conversation (although they get thrown a lot at the dinner table!!).

I absolutely adore it.

I went to school with an Anya, she went on to be the Russian Guard in Elton Johns Nikita.

lovely name

Very pretty.

Um, Russians would pronounce it Aanya, unless it's spelt with an O in the cyrillic alphabet. And I love it. Bit different to Anna, which I also love.

Love it. Anya is the phonetic spelling of the Irish Aine.

DD2's middle name is Anya.

iMum · 03/06/2010 07:57

Canya anya?

ProfYaffle · 03/06/2010 08:06

I know someone called Anya, I like it but it does make me think of potatoes.

There is a girl in my class called Anya and I like it. It means 'Grace'
