[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The E in Anne is not silent, it’s more of a soft E. If you want no E you have to spell it Ann. They are not the same. [/quote] This is not true at all. Many Annes in my family and it is pronounced Ann but spelled with an e. As in: Anne Bolyen Anne Frank Princess Anne Queen Anne Anne Hathaway Anne of Green Gables Anne Klein and many more[/quote] To be fair, Anne Frank's name was actually pronounced the European way "Ahn-neh"[/quote] +100 (or ahn-nuh) And actress Anne Hathaway prefers to be called Annie. While her legal name is Anne, she has stated that she doesn't like it and would rather people use Annie, according to The Independent. Shakespeare’s wife would’ve pronounced it Ann but Hathaway would be pronounced Hat- a - way. Of course, many Americans pronounce Porsche as if the e were silent. It is not. [/quote]
