Given how much Ann has been used as a middle name I can only see it being used as such.

For those such as the anonymous user who referred to Ann as "plain, incomplete, and don't understand why this used to be one of the most popular names". Should one prefer, they may add one, of course, otherwise, Ann, regardless of whether three letters, is perfectly beautiful and complete in itself, and why it is a timeless classic!
Names, all names with enduring qualities, go through shifts and degrees of popularity from decade to decade and century to century.
The reason for Ann's popularity is because the popular culture of the time perceived it as a classic and/or pretty name with an endearing simple sweetness. Therefore, for the many parents who chose the name for their daughter, these qualities were during that time, not very different from names that are revived classics, perceived as popular or trendy today.
Also, in certain languages, such as English, for instance, Ann IS the complete spelling.
Ann is the original and traditional English spelling, whereas Anne (also lovely) is the French version that eventually became an adopted alternate spelling within the English language. In languages in which Anne is traditionally used, Ann is also used as an alternate spelling.
Whether given name or middle name, Ann, is beautiful.

I very much prefer Anna out of all the versions of this name. Ann feels super short, incomplete, and dull. Not a fan of Anne either, but even that’s better than Ann. Anne can be a cute nickname for Anna though.

Timeless, classic, good sound and good meaning. I'd use this in combo with another name to make one first name (ie: Jane Ann, Mary Ann, Abigail Ann etc.)

Ann is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding name. If I ever have a daughter, she will be named Ann, I just don't know if it would be in the first place or second. My grandmother's name was Annie, as was my great grandmother, and my great great grandmother. My grandmother also named her daughter Annie, and my grandmother was named after her grandmother who was named Ann. It has a long, rich history for some special women in my family.

My name is Ann and my middle name is Rebecca and whenever I fill out a form that requires the middle name they always switch it around lol. I love my name without an E. I am older and in school we would often have several Anns in the class. Why is it boring? What does that even mean? These days it does stand out in its elegant simplicity. It’s non-pretentious and has a lovely sound and rings out when people say it. Also the guys at a Starbucks or food truck or waiting list or anything where they write down your name think it’s awesome as it’s easy to spell and pronounce. I don’t care if they misspell it with an E but I like it better without. If you don’t like it, that’s fine but what’s with “hating” it?

I didn't like the name "Ann" until I learned of its Biblical meaning and origin. Ann is short for Hannah, which means "grace" and "favor." The story of Hannah is recorded in the first and second chapters of I Samuel. She was a godly woman who was barren. She prayed and made a vow to God that if He would give her a son, she would give him to the Lord. God showed her favor and she conceived. After her son Samuel was born and weaned, she took him to the Temple in Shiloh and presented him to the Lord. God was pleased and graciously granted her five more children. Samuel lived in the Temple, becoming the last of Israel's judges and its first official prophet. Hannah's famous prayer, recorded in I Samuel 2: 1-11, is often compared to the Virgin Mary's prayer in Luke 1: 46-56. Ann (without the silent "e") and Anna fit neatly in the middle of Hannah. Ann is anything but plain and boring as some have suggested. The name Ann and its variations give glory and honor to God.

Ann is a classic name with much beauty and strength. It is also an underused classic. I think many new parents will come to appreciate its rarity when looking for a beautifully simple classic name. It just barely makes the top 1000 most used girls names in the United States. My first name is Ann and I have always been very proud of it. I am in my early 30s now and it is very rare to meet someone my age or younger with this name. I was surprised to see so many negative comments about a name that is such a timeless choice... I just had to add my positive perspective in case the negative remarks drive away people from considering it for their baby. If my name wasn't already Ann I would name my daughter Ann:)

My name is Ann, and I absolutely hate it! Whenever I go to the doctor or really anywhere (since I am too young to go by myself) people think that my mom is the one who is named Ann. This name is very dated, and people will always assume that you are older than you are. It’s bland and boring, and the spelling “Ann” just looks incomplete. It leaves no room for nicknames since it is already so short. If you plan on naming your daughter Ann, I encourage you to be more creative. There are many names including Annabelle, Annalise, Anna, Annika, that have the possibility to be shortened to Ann. At the very least, consider spelling it as Anne.

I am starting to like Ann. This spelling looks nice to me, very simple and sweet and hard to shorten except to Annie, which is already longer than the name is and Nancy which people associate more as a regular name because it has enough usage as a first name so that people recognize it as one. I would bet that a little girl named Ann would be called Annie before Nancy though. Anne looks more Biblical though because that is the original spelling, then Ann in my opinion.

I'm named after my grandmother who spells her name as Anne and to distinguish both of us, I was called by my middle name Marie which I felt was just as boring. As I have gotten older, I appreciate the simplicity of it because I can't pronounce or spell the new crazy names they have these days. I don't understand why some people have taken unique to the level they have.
I agree with the other posts that have mentioned adding the 'e' seems to complete it and often times, when people don't know me, will seem to automatically add the E but it doesn't bother me.

I love this name. It's my favorite baby name. Ann even looks like a baby when it's written in lowercase:
Ann: See the baby's head, arms, and legs? It's a baby crawling to the left with a little hairband on.

At first I hated my name "Ann", (my grandfather wanted Patricia but my father wanted a name that could not be shortened or made into something else, so I got "Ann" without the "E" so I couldn't be called "Annie") I mainly hated it because each time I heard it, I was always in trouble, I felt it had no good to it. But as I got older, things changed, the name became more fitting, then as my husband called or said my name it felt of love. It was a soft, gentle name, then once the grandchildren came along, they heard me being called "Annie" and thought it was "Nanny" so of course that is what stayed. I am proud of my name now, and I like it better without the "E," the "E" to me just makes it look like something is missing, like it is meant to be "Annie" and they forgot the "I"..

I prefer this spelling to Anne, which looks a bit frilly. I probably wouldn't use it, but it's quite nice. Sadly, it is often stuffed into the middle-name-slot.

Beautiful sounding, but Ann Coulter has really damaged this name. If you name your daughter Ann, try adding an -E to the end so that they don't get associated with bigots or anything like that.

A lot of people are kind or mean about the name Ann. It's an older name for first names and is fast becoming a middle name. You see it a lot as a way to honor family members and while I was not a fan of it growing up, I think it's a sweet name.

Ann is a beautiful name. It is approachable, sweet, stable and sure of herself. It is not mixed up with trying to prove herself to the world, but a girl who will find happiness in anything she tries to accomplish. Ann is goodness. Ann is out in this world on an adventure but not ridden with anxiety and complexity. Ann sets goals, works towards them and doesn't forget to smell the roses along the way. Ann is confident while being liked by all. Ann is not fake and phony and pompous. Ann is real. Ann is someone you'd love to have as a best friend. Ann is pretty. Put an a on the end of Ann and you've got, Anna... sophisticated, alluring and admirable. Both are beautiful.

Several people have brought up "Anne of Green Gables" and that character's stated preference for the "e" spelling. I've always had a fondness for the simpler "Ann" spelling. Some of us like the matter-of-factness of it. The "e" seems like an attempt to dress up an already streamlined, straightforward name. The two spellings DO have different "feels." Ann is peppy, sprightly, high spirited and sassy (think Ann Sheridan, Ann Sothern, Ann Landers). Anne is willowy, sips tea and writes verse (badly). No need for the "e" unless you're French (or pseudo-French).

This is my middle name, and I've always hated it. I agree with slight_night_shiver and the rest of you, it's total filler. Unfortunately, the middle name "Ann" goes back in my family for generations and my mother insists on writing my name as "Colleen Ann" rather than just "Colleen"--even though that's all I go by. Oddly enough, I love the simple beauty in the nearly identical name Anne, to the point where I sometimes find myself squeazing the "E" at the end.

My middle name is Ann. I think it's pretty, but too plain, I wish it was Annie, Annabell, or Annette, or any other version with more than one syllable. But none-the-less it's a great middle name, because it can compliment almost any first name. :D
As a first name I'd definitely recommend going with a longer version, and letting Ann just be a nickname of it.

People like Ann Coulter and Ann Althouse have totally ruined my associations with this name, but it always struck me as a terribly boring, overly minimalist name. It's horribly overused as a middle name, and it is a clear sign that the parents didn't feel like bothering too much coming up with an innovative middle name, so they used this total filler middle name. I bet many women with this as their first name were unwanted children, and their parents just picked a common name to get it over with.

Ann Darrow was a character in "King Kong" in both the 1933 original and 2005 remake films. In the 1933 film, she was portrayed by Fay Wray and by Naomi Watts in 2005.

They travel to Skull Island, where she is taken captive by island natives and offered up as a sacrifice to Kong, a god-like figure to them. Kong falls in love with her.

Anne of Green Gables is right. Ann does look better with an 'e'. This name is so plain! I mean, Jane and Jill are plain, but at least they look nice! I guess that's because when I was little, Ann was one of those names that they used for story problems in math.

I don't think Ann is a good first name, only because middle names just don't sound right with it.

Personal impression: Anne looks better than Ann... too common, both of them. Urgh.

Two women that I absolutely loathe have born variations of the name Anne: Ann Coulter and Anita Bryant. Thanks to them, the lovely name of Anne has been befouled for me.

I personally think that Ann is a name that is merely satisfactory, however, what comes out of my mind now has NOTHING to do with degrading America, I mean no harm or harrassment, so please don't call me diabolic! I have to agree with fellow user gaelruadh19 about one person with a petulant, malevolent, nefarious mind- American controversial bestselling conservative author and constitutional attorney, Ann Coulter! She said simply gruesome things about Canada when former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin was elected on November 30th/2003! How America is protecting Canada with a nuclear shield, how she hates Canadians because of some of us speak French! She also said that one day America can turn around and crush them on Fox! Along with Mr.Carlson, they thought that every Canadian was too busy dog sledding to care about politics! How juvenile and ignorant was that? Then, I thought that I would never forgive her. Until of course, I learned she was conservative - just like my family and I. Now that we have Stephen Harper, she must have gotten over herself, which is a relief! I just wish that she would publically take her inexusable words back! Long live the name!
