How would you use the name Anne ...
... in a combo, and what would the combo be? Like the Phoebe thread below, you may use it for a first or middle name. I prefer no more than one middle name, but, well... just put what you would honestly use in the subject line, please. You may opt for the spelling Ann (I see the appeal in both), but must use Anne or Ann as an independent name -- no compounding, e.g. Annemarie. Hyphenation is okay (e.g. Ann-Katrin).
Only one final decision allowed!!!

...was our girls name for our third pregnancy. Ruth after my mom and Anne after my husband's mom. But we had a boy.

Lily Ann
Mary-Anne
Mary is an important family name to me and I think it flows well. My only issue is the misconception in pronunciation; I would like the name to be pronounced as two separate names MAIR-ree ANN rather than MARR-ree ANN.
I wish I could use Anna. I much prefer Anna in many of these combos, e.g.
Anna Marie / Maria
Anna Sophie / Sophia
Anna Katarina
Anna Louisa
Rose Anna

I love this combo for some reason. I don't like Sophie very much though. Plus, it's my cousin's name, and i couldn't name a baby after her without pissing her sister off, so let's say Anne Louisa.

Dorothy Ann "Thea"
This is a tough one. The name Anne is a no go in both the first and middle name spot because of an aunt (Anne Elizabeth) who's not highly regarded by my immediate family and a half-aunt (Audrey Anne) who goes solely by her middle name and is similarly out of favor. I'd probably go with Ann for a middle name as a nod to a friend, and just continue the honoring with the first name Dorothy. Plus, I love the nickname Thea.

I could put Anne as a middle next to any name I like...(m)
but I'd never ever use it as a first name, and would rather not as a middle.

Cecily Anne
Anne is actually the name of one of my sisters, so it would have to go in the middle name spot for honoring purposes. It's also simply a great classic name. I chose Cecily just because I'm really liking it today.

This combo is one I love, along with Cecily Anna and Cecily Alice.

I've recently developed a major crush on Anne, it's just so beautiful in it's simplicity.
Unfortunately I probably won't get a chance to use it due to my partners surname.

Anne Felicity

But I'd use Annemarie, it was one of our daughter's back-up names. And then it would have a different middle name. Frances was what I would've used before, but now I'd probably do Claire.
Also, I'd totally call her Nan, Nanny, Nanw, etc. because awwwww

Simple, sweet and to the point.

whoops! Entered the subject as my name. Sorry!

I wouldn't. But under gun threats: Amelia Anne.
I agree, I wouldn't use Anne if I could prevent it. It's a very boring, overused name where I live.
That's the opposite of where I live. I feel like names are so flamboyant and over-the-top in my area that seeing a young Anne would be a welcoming contrast of tasteful reserve; a mark of class. Understated.
Also agreed. I think a little Anne would be a breath of fresh air (though I guess it depends on where you live).
Leonie Anne
So pretty!
Anne Ophelia
You read my mind I was JUST thinking about a middle name for Anne!
