Anne vs Ann

kayjay10

I prefer Anne.  I just feel it looks more complete.  I'm completely okay with Ann, though, especially if it's a family name.

I think of the baby is just "Anne" it should have the E on the end. Ann looks more like a nickname for Annabelle or some other name. Both are fine - I just like the more finished look.

I like Anne.  It just looks better to me on paper.

I prefer Anne. Agree it has a more refined, finished look to it.

DD's MN is Anne after my grandmother. MIL's MN is Ann and she always tells me we spelled DD's middle name wrong. I want to punch her in her fuckking face.

Moral of the story: Both ways are correct, so do what you want.

My MN is Ann, so that's what I prefer.

I just wanted to pop in and say that I am beyond impressed that you have gotten 50+ comments on the crucial Ann vs. Anne question. Well done, BNB!

I prefer Anne, but that's because it was my middle name until I got married and has been used as a FN or MN for several generations in my grandmother's family.  Ann/Anna is a tradition on DH's side.  I really wanted Anne as a second middle name for DD, but I knew we would never agree on the spelling.

Print out "Ann" and it looks absolutely dreadful, but Anne with an "e" is quite distinguished...so if youll only call me "Anne with an 'e', Ill try and reconcile myself to not being called Cordelia.

This exactly!
