Anne. I have a wonderful “Auntie” Anne.

Anna. It sounds lighter, fresher, more youthful, and it's more international. But I like Anne too.

Anne is my mn, because it is a family name (grandmother's mn, mine and a cousin's). I like it: short and sweet. Ann is even shorter, but to me it looks unfinished. Anna bores me rigid. Since 1976 (the birth year of the oldest Anna I know) the world has been full of Anna people and I would be happy to see less of it.

Anna is prettier.

Anne.

I've always loved the combo Anne Cecilia. I

Just short and sweet Anne for me. There is a quiet beauty in its simplicity. Sometimes less is more.

I also prefer Hannah to Anna.

Anna is better on its own. Let's just get it out of the way and admit that Anne is plain. I prefer both as double barrelled names, or in Anne's case especially, middle names. I do like Anne-Laure, Anne-Marie and Anne-Sophie for Anne, and Anna Maria / Ana Maria, Anna Sophia / Ana Sofia for Anna or Ana.

Anne!

Anne, definitely. It's way more refined.

Anna! Tho I love Anne too. And maybe Ana above both.

I love An- names. 😅

Anna by far. Anne is more suitable as a middle name, in my opinion.
