Anya
What do you think of Anya? As a full name? Do you know anyone with the name? It used to be really common in Germany, spelled Anja, and feels very dated now, but for some reason I think Anya is fresh and pretty.Do you prefer Aine? Do you pronounce them the same?

I like Anya a lot. My favourite would be Aine, which I pronounce almost the same as Anya. I'm not sure about using Aine as a spelling as it would be a bit confusing, so I'll stick to Anya.Lea

I wouldn't pn Aine the same as Anya. Probably because I wouldn't be sure how to pn Aine.I knew an Anya in high school, about six years ago (she's in her mid 20s now). She was really nice, sweet, smart, a friend to everyone - a good connection for me. It's a full name to me, and can stand on it's own (because that's the only way I've heard it.

I think Anya is beautiful. I know a few Anyas and an Anja, but I've never met an Aine (which I pronounce the same as the other two). I think my favorite of the 3 is Aine, followed my Anja and then Anya, but they are all lovely.

I love Anya. I like it as a nickname for Anastasia, but I think it works fine on its own.
I think Áine is pronounced the same, but I'm not very familiar with it.

I like Anya a lot but dislike Anja just because it is so dated and it only makes me think of Anja Pärsson. I don't like Aine as much as Anya and no, I don't prn them the same. I prefer Aina over Aine, and Anya over Aina.
