Good, but very overused. That's why I wouldn't use it.

It's so unbearably boring. I enjoy many plain names but this one is just too much. I even like both Anne (charming) and Ann (delightfully uncomplicated). Maybe it's because of how common it is where I come from and I'm in equal parts tired of it and annoyed at other pronunciations.

I love it, it's plain but charming.

I love the name Anna, I’d use it in a heartbeat!

I know people find it boring but it’s so elegant and interesting imo. More so than its peers (Sarah, Mary, etc). Especially as people pronounce it both ANN-ah and AHN-ah. It’s a name that feels both soft and strong.

I’ve met one actual Anna (any others were Annalise nn Anna) and one Anne.

I think it’s one of the most dullest names

I rather like the name Anna; it seems to be very well-known. I have known plenty of people named Anna, since it's common for my age group (though, not as common as Hannah, lol). So, while the name is common, I still don't think of it as overly boring. I am used to the pronunciation of "ANN-uh" and favor it, I just wanted to add that.

I've never met an Anna, so despite how simple it is, it still has a bit of the "exotic" to it for me! I can see how people find it boring though.

I was disappointed when one of my closest friends named their first daughter Anna. I'd expected something with more energy, something unusual. And when her sister was named Ruth, I thought once again that Anna had been a missed opportunity. I'm very happy to have Anne as my mn; it honours my paternal grandmother, who died before I was born. But if she'd been named Anna, I wouldn't have been so pleased, or I think I wouldn't.

It's ok

One of my favorite plain names if not my most favorite.

Anna is pretty and versatile. I prefer it in combo names like Annalise and Annabeth.

I respect its classic elegance but find it boring. I definitely prefer it to Hannah, though.

Sometimes I can get past the fact that a name is so popular and come to like it, but Anna is not one of those names. It's okay, in my opinion. I slightly prefer Ana, especially in combos like Ana Sofia to make it more interesting.

It's boring and plain. Personally I prefer Anya. It sounds a bit more exciting.
