Help[Opinions] Re: Ann / Anne
in reply to a message by Lily8
This is very odd. My real name and my online moniker are both up for discussion...
Anyhow, I'm an Anne. The first time I met another Anne my age was at a summer camp, aged 14. The second time, I was in 3rd year university. Despite the "common" label, it's really not- I've now met a total of three under the age of 50 in all of my 22 years. I don't think it'll be popular in english anytime soon- too simple, and too tied to the sweet, fanciful and utterly unfashionable redhead.
And it can be bloody awkward at times- most people don't pronounce the "d" of "and" and A LOT of people use it as a device in speech, when linking or emphasizing a point. Which causes me to jerk up in startlement- or completely ignore someone calling my name.
