Anne!
in reply to a message by Lily
I agree. I think Anne is due for a comeback. It's regal, but simple. I don't love Annie, but it's an okay nickname. I like Anna for a nickname better. Definitely go with Anne, not Ann. I've always thought Ann looks like you're falling off the edge of a cliff at the end of it.
Anne is kind of "boring" in one sense, but less so than Mary and Sarah and Elizabeth, just because it's not often used for a first name, but a middle. That makes it more interesting.
Another option would be Annette (another that is poised for a revival), and call her Anne.
