HelpRe: Ann
in reply to a message by Lily8
I've met Anns and Annes, but most of them are over 40. I think the one teenager I know with the name spells it Anne.
I can imagine it on a baby; it makes me happy to do so. As for replacing Anna someday, I think it could because these names go in cycles, but it won't be for a long time. We're not living in a time when the average parent seems to appreciate simple, unembellished, utterly un-frilly girl names. That just makes Anne/Ann more interesting, imo. Anne is still hugely popular as a mn, but the vast numbers of Roses and Graces have cut in on its action a bit. I think use as a mn is evenly divided between those who chose classic and trendy first names.
I prefer Anne. Like Anne of Green Gables said, the Ann spelling looks just "dreadful" to me.
I prefer Anna, but Anne is a very close second.
