[Opinions] Re: Annmarie/Annemarie
in reply to a message by Olwen
Annemarie or Anne Marie. Annmarie looks odd. Isn't it a bit dated? In Italy, Anna Maria has very middle aged, if not senior citizen vibe by now."We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”

It's a bit old fashioned, yeah. In my mind it'd be sort of like Anne on a young person today - surprising but not bizarre.

Anne, at least to me feels more like a classic though, like say, Elizabeth or Katherine. It has a timeless quality that Anne Marie doesn't.
