Anna and anne

Ann and Lynn are Gen-X middle names. Spelled exactly that way.

I like either Anne or Anna. Anna forces you to pick a side for a "Frozen" costume.

Every Anna I know goes by Anna. (And it is quite popular in my neighborhood.)

The middle-aged Annes I know go by Anne. The little kids are officially named Anne but go by Annie. I love Annie!

Agree with PP. My niece, an Anna, nevera gets shortened to Ann.

But, I love the name Anne. It was next on our list if we had another girl.

Anna can be pronounced Ah-na or An-na. Which one are you referring to?

Personally I like Anya or Ani as they sound less Anglo, but then again I'm not white.

I always thought of Anna/Ann(e) as different names (from same origin), like Julie and Julia or Jenna and Jen/Jennifer. He kept asking for a male equivalent like that and I can't think of one.

If we choose Anna how likely is it that people will nickname to Anne? We both like the nickname Annie but I'm not a huge fan of Anne...

How about Nathan and Nathaniel NN Nate

I like Anna better. I do not think Anna typically becomes Annie unless you are calling her that. Ann's often becomes Annies. My 50 year cousin goes by Annie...if think it sounds like a little girls name personally but she has kept it.

I lived in Germany for a long time and knew a woman named Anne. The 'e' was pronounced as a separate syllable in German, so her name sounded like "Anna." So I guess if your Anne goes to Germany or a Scandi/Nordic country, she'll be Anne-pronounced-like-Anna, and your husband will be right.

I know Annas and I know Annes…none go by the other name.

Anne or Annie. Never Anna. That's the housekeeper.
