My mn is
Anne, after my paternal grandmother,
Sarah Anne. So that's what I've grown up with and it's the version I instinctively expect. I prefer it to
Ann; not sure how I might feel about them if I had a different mn. It is also my daughter's mn.
Ann looks unfinished, but I don't mind it. I think I've known more
Ann people than
Anne ones, but I'm not sure. I find
Anna mildly annoying, like
Elle: palindromes aren't my thing. But, a good friend's daughter is
Anna, with no nn, so I just smile and enjoy her.
Annie doesn't please me at all; nor do
Janie and
Ruthie.
