I personally like good old fashioned Anne

---

But out of the variations I like:
Anneliese
Hannah
Arianna
Anastasia

I like:
Anna
Anneliese / Annalise
Annabel
Eliana*
Aina
Annalie / Annelie
Ariana*
Anneka / Anika / Annika
Annora

---

*but I don't consider a name to be an "ann" name just because it ends with "ana". It's a pretty common suffix. I'm also not sure if Aina counts.

---

Some more (I like most of these):
Ana
Anessa
Annessa
Annesse
Anesse
Annegret
Annelise
Anabella
Annabela
Annabeth
Annelore
Anneke
Antoinette
Annette
Anette
Anetta
Anneline
Annelina
Annalia
Annalea

---

oh also a GP: Annexe (the name of a little girl in a dream I had once. It's too much like "annexe" for IRL but I kinda like it)

I like...

---

Anna
Annie
Annaliese
Hannah
Ariana
Annika
Annora

---

Other names with an/ann in that I like are... Joanna, Susanna, Annamaria / Anamaria, Annalena, Anouk, Anais, Anya, Annis / Annice, Anstice, Annegret, Angharad, Antonia, Antonina, Hannelore, Johanna, Marianne, Mariana, Rosanna, Rosanne, Tatiana, Viviana

---

I don't like Ann or Annabelle.

I'm an Anne (mn, after my grandmother, Sarah Anne) and used it as a mn for my daughter.

---

I also quite enjoy Annabel, though technically of course it isn't an Ann- name.

---

The rest aren't to my liking, especially Hannah, Anna and the Anneka names.

I like Anouchka, which is really a nickname but now used as a name in its own right
Ditto Anouk

---

I also like Anais

I've often thought that, if I ever needed a pseudonym for every day (e.g. "Witness Protection"), Anne / "Annie" would probably be the easiest name for me to answer to. It's short and simple, but not overly plain (or common, this day and age).

---

I also like:

---

Anneliese (also spelled Annelise); I don't really care for the Annalise spelling, though that seems to be the most common spelling in Anglophone countries
Eliana (I don't really consider this an "Anne" variant, any more than, say, Julianna)
Annella
Anastasia
Annora

---

If I'm to expound on this list (as other posters have) and include names that end in -ana or -anna, then I also like:

---

Evanna
Johanna
Julianna
Levana
Morgana
Darshana
Layana
Parvana
Tsisana
Violanna
Rhianna

I love-
Anna: Brought to my attention by a character, now in my top 10.
Georgiana: See above. Also honours my grandma and mum.
Annabeth: See above, but not in my top 10.
Morgana: Long time love, my mum wanted to call me Morgana, but didn't think she'd get my dad's approval haha.
Jana: Another character!
Catiana: I've looked everywhere for more info on this and can't seem to find much.
Anneliese
Ann(e): My mum's middle name, one of the few family names I like.
Annie
Antoinette: Okay, a bit of a cheat.
Andromeda: Ditto
Victoriana
Gloriana

My favorites are Anna and Annie. And I know that Susannah isn't technically related to Ann(e), but it's got an Anna in it so I'm claiming it!

---

My least favorite is Ann, which is I think is hideous looking, and Hannah, which puts me to sleep.
