[Opinions] Re: Anya or Anna?
in reply to a message by beethoven
Uhm no, I wrote I think it's dated in the US, not I know for a fact it's dated. It was simply my opinion based on what I experienced in my area. Never did I say things like "Anna is so dated, no one should use it, it screams 80s". That's what you're reading into it. Read my posts again, please.
I never started this discussion, you did. I felt it was dated and saw that supported by the fact that it is falling (slowly but it is falling) I thought it would feel dated to others because it seems to be used a little less each year.
If you don't understand what I'm saying I can't help you but this discussion is so pointless and I don't really see what YOU are getting at. There were more Annas born in 1988. That's all I was saying and it is a fact.
I always said "in my opinion" "from my personal feelings". I never even said it was a fact that it was dated, I stated what is the case in my area and from my experience.
So again to make it clear: In MY opinion Anna is a dated name because in MY area it was used a lot in the 80s. In my kindergarten class 5 out of 20 girls were named Anna and there was an Anna-Sumi as well. I know more girls named Anna than with any other feminine name and I don't know many young ones. So to me it is tired and dated.
Maybe I should have made that clearer. I won't answer to this thread anymore because it's so old and I don't feel like searching for it again plus this is getting nowhere.
