Anna and Marie
I was looking through the history of the Czech side of my family and counted 21 girls. Out of those girls, 5 were named Marie and 6 were named Anna. I asked my grandfather about “Marie” and he asked which one. I said “the Marie with a husband named Jan and a daughter named Anna.” I then paused realizing there were three girls named Marie who had a husband named Jan and a daughter named Anna.

I love Anna, Marie is pretty but not my style. Love Annemarie, too!
Maybe Jannamarie? But I see lots of Annes Ann Ane Annie Joanne on my tree too. And it seems Ann and Marie are just common middle names. I think they are both pretty and while used alot I prefer them to a name like Mary or Ruth
Both names are ok, and would work well as honour names
I find both names to be incredibly boring and tired.
