Re: Ann
in reply to a message by Lily8
My middle name is Anne. My given name is Adelheid, but I go by Heidi. My sister and I were both given Anne as a mn because it's my mom's mn. My mom is Polly and my sister is Daisy.
I think it's still fairly common as a mn. I think it's also very much considered a filler.
But I think it's beautiful as a first name -- simple and pretty, familiar but not too common. I also like Jane for these same reasons.
Ann or Anne would have to contend with quite a few Anna's, however. I don't like Anna. And I much prefer Anne to Ann. It looks prettier.
