Anne is my mn, and a family name (my grandmother's mn and one cousin's fn). I like it very much and used it as a mn for my daughter. I prefer it to Anna: it seems neater and tidier.Male equivalents: Richard, Stephen, Peter, Graham, Geoffrey

John maybe. I have taught a lot of Ann/Annes, but all as double names. John is a pretty common double name.Anne is boring! But it's vastly superior to Ann.

I adore Anne, it’s been on my top 10 for a very long time now. “Bland” perhaps, but not popular in the slightest (at least where I am). I think I’d call it understated and pretty over bland, though I like a lot of names perceived to be bland, like Mary and Jane.I want to say Henry is the masculine version of Anne, but it’s still a popular and common name. The problem is that boy names don’t go out of style as easily as girl names do, so it’s hard to find a classic, familiar boy name that’s not still common.

It’s nowhere near popular where I live.Anyways, it reminds me of Anne Frank however I much prefer it as a middle name to Ane, or Ann.
