What's wrong with Anya?

Anya is not getting many thumbs up votes on my list.  I am curious why people don't like it. I have some really great associations with it.

I think Anya is a pretty name. Although I do have an association with it with a girl I went to college with who was just a horrid person (therefore I'd never pick it as a name for any of my children and it ticks me off a bit that she sort-of ruined the name for me). I do still like the name though. Maybe people think it is too close to Anna and I know a lot of people just seem to have a thing against names with "y" in them (even though this is a ligit name.

I like it!

It seems a bit exotic for my tastes.  But I like it as a name.  I wouldn't use it though.

I really like it. I think it probably doesn't get lots of votes because it's different and not familiar.

Its pretty IMO

BoatsNHoes

I think it's beautiful.

I think it is a very nice name. Maybe people are more fond of the other names on your list...

ETA: I went and voted on your list. The only thing I noticed that might cause a change in votes is that Anya is a bit different in style than the other names on the list.

I like it. It does seem different from the other ones on your list. The only girl one I didn't care for was Noelle. For boys I really like Colin and Owen. Anya certainly seems more exotic than names like Lucy and Elixabeth.

I like it, but I don't love it. There's nothing at all wrong with it, but given other choices I can see why people wouldn't choose it

I really like it!  Like my own LO's name, it is a name that travels well since all languages have the sounds needed to pronounce Anya correctly.  That is why we liked LO's name so much!  It's worldly!

When naming my oldest I had picked Anya and my mom said; "That's not a name, it's a figure of speech...hey you got a booger on'ya," 

Now she just ruined that name for me... Thanks mom....

I like it, I just don't like it as much as some of your other options.

First of all, you have the greatest bump name of all time.

Secondly, my co-worker's daughter is named Anya, and I think it's beautiful!!

I love Anya.  DH doesn't like it.  He says it's like "on 'ya, as in get on you."
