HelpRe: Anne
in reply to a message by Caroline
Anne Rebecca is a nice combo.
I favor Anna over Anne, but Anne is alright. Feels a little truncated to me, I guess.
Anne Louise is better than Anne Louisa but it depends on the surname.
I think Anne Charlotte, Anne Cecilia, and Anne Theodora run together strangely. Ansh, Ance, Anth.
Anne Virginia is nice.
I like Anne Marie, Anne Maria, or even Anne Mary sounds good if I imagine it with a surname.
Anne Julia also could sound good with a surname IMO.
I would think that sisters Anne and Jane sounded old-fashioned - in a nice antique, modest way, not fusty/fussy or dowdy/starchy. Plain, yeah, but not as plain as Emma and Claire would seem.
I don't like Annie. It seems childish to me. I've never met anyone who called herself Annie ... just Little Orphan.

My mother-in-law's name is Anny. She's a native of Belgium, though she hasn't seen Belgium in over sixty years. From what she tells me, Anny in Belgium is pronounced with the first syllable sounding like the first syllable in Ronald. However, Americans pronounce Anny so it sounds just like Annie and that's what she's been stuck with for over sixty years. I guess that's just a negative consequence of emigrating to The United States that she didn't foresee, lol.
