Help[Opinions] Re: Ann
in reply to a message by wheelbarrow4
It is very simple and plan, but in that it could be a bit refreshing, a bit like a 'palette cleanser'... I'm just extra-everything all the time, so I don't love it, but I do get the appeal. The sound isn't bad, and I think it has good cross-culture possibilities if that's a consideration. It's really not a bad name at all, but there's nothing thrilling about it.
I prefer Anne, and I like Anna. My name's Susanna, so some days I feel Anna and -anna names are sorta no-go for me, but I do like Anna. Anne seems more complete and is more common in the UK I think - I know people called both Ann and Anne especially through work and when writing to an Ann I always have to double check the name, Anne I just write Anne. Anne feels more natural to me. Ann is less common and more minimalist.
Annie is so cute. I love Annie, but it's one of my nicknames so using it as a nickname for anyone else isn't a possibility, although obviously Annie for Susanna is less intuitive. My dad sometimes calls me Susannie or Annie etc. and I am picky about nicknames for my name (dislike Sue and Susie) but I like that and I wish Annie was a more common nickname for Susanna. But Ann "Annie" is sweet.
I think Ann would be neat with a super OTT middle name or more than one middle name, a cool contrast. As it's so minimalist, Ann + something frilly or unusual or distinctive would work well. I don't like the idea of Ann as a middle name, it's no different to Anne in that role and would be dated and boring.
