Help[Opinions] Re: Ana
in reply to a message by queenv
I would assume that Ana is pronounced Ah-na, rather than Ann-a. I don't really like the Ah-na pronunciation, but would expect it on somebody of Hispanic heritage, which is where you would be most likely to see Ana used.
If it's pronounced Ann-a, like it is when referring to Santa Ana, California, I would much rather skip the messy middle step and just have it be spelled Anna.
Anna is okay but it's one of those generic, everybody-loves-it-let's-move-on kind of classic name that doesn't carry a lot of image-baggage.
