But
Anna hasn't really had a break.... the furthest it's been from the top 100 is at #106 all the way back in 1971. Not that
Anne and
Anna aren't different, but add
Anna's popularity to
Anne's popularity-as-a-middle-name and both come out pretty tired.
For me, I've been hearing
Anne all my life because it's so many people MNs. But
Mary... I've only ever actually met a handful of (at least under the age of 30) so to me it SOUNDS fresher... even if it's being used more as a FN.
