[Opinions] Thanks everyone! (more)
in reply to a message by Frollein Gladys
The reason why I asked for connotations and associations is that I checked the comment section for Annora on this site. Someone there stated that the name reminded them of "anorexia" and someone else mentioned that it sounded somewhat close to the word "annoying".
And now Amalthea brought up the "anal" association.
While I can see the "anorexia" thing - although I wouldn't have noticed it hadn't it been mentioned by someone else -, I kind of have a hard time hearing/seeing "annoying" or "anal" from Annora.
Is that just me? Or are these associations obvious to everyone else (which would make them connotations and worth considering when... ;) )?
Anyway, thanks for your answers everyone! I really appreciate them!

I can see anorexia just because of the closeness to Annora. Still, I don't think it's that bad. The anal, thing? No. It's no more associated with anal than any other name beginning with An: Anna, Ana, Anastasia, Annabel, Annabella, Annalisa, etc. With a name such as Analia or Analeigh (which I just came across today), then yes, I'll admit that I see anal straight off.
