My name is Innessa but I've been always called Inna. I was born in ukraine. And when I was about eight I got actual ukrainian name books and it said that my name (Inna) is Greek and that the true meanings are "crybaby","stubborn", and "rock". People always think its russian just because guys in russia used to be named that. And yes, it is always misspronounced for such a short and simple name. But yea, I always get comments about how pretty my name is.
I really LOVE the name Inna. I think it is a nice alternative to Anna. I also like Enna, but on a girl, instead of the masculine roots the look up suggests. I think that instead of using Anna, Parents should use names like Inna, Enna, Enya, Anya, Aithne, Eithne, Enja and Anja.

This is an unusual name; you won't find it often in America. However, I do like it and find it very beautiful.
