Re: Anne
I knew an Ann Cecilia at school! Pleasant girl; straight, blonde hair, blue eyes, did a lot of swimming and had a golden tan all year round. Neither boring nor beige!And, I used Anne, Elizabeth and Mary as mns for my daughters! OK, they're all family names, but like all families, mine contains some names that are just too awful to consider. These ones are objectively good, IMO; I avoided the real horrors like Florrie and Edna.

My great-grandmother was Dora Effie. My mom loves to make fun of her name. Apparently, she was not a nice woman and I suspect that had something to do with it?That said: I love the name Edna. I knew a lot of amazing Ednas and I wish it wasn't as dated!

My mother's oldest sister-first child in a big family-was named Edna. Kind of a dramatic woman but nice, and certainly hardworking.
