My names Anna, not An-uh, Anne-a. Its sorta boring to me. I'm in 8th grade, there are 2 of us, some more in other grades. Most Anna are nicknames. Annabell, Ariana, Joanna etc. I'm just Anna. I sometimes wish I had a more unusal name.

When I first started public school, from kindergarden'to the 2nd grade another girl in the'same class as myself beared my name. Such as: "Ashley Green" and "Ashley Nguyen" even my best friend has an older'sister named "Ashley". Also in the media, most Ashley characters found in movies and the like are rather poor in personality, usally rich, white and blonde. Whitch is a pity, since all the Ashley's i've ever met in reality have been asian, white or black ect. I'myself am Biracial. I like to think that the meaning of my name means that life can grow after distruction has came and went. Ash is fertil, and grows big lush greenry; trees. And life is beautiful as they say.

Anna is my name, it has been passed down thru the generations of my family tree. I love the name, but in my childhood i could never find anything monogrammed. Little Anna's of today won't have to worry about that, as the name is picking up popularity!

This is one of my favourite names. I have decided when I have kids they will all have names from the Bible, and this is one of the very few female names I like from it. I think I'd choose a very unique middle name to go with such a common first name though.

Of course i've been called Anna Banana...what Anna has not? However, It's a fabulous name, not boring, not too pretentious...It's just right. i've known many Annas. In fact, my best friend is named Anna, her new roommate is named Anna, and our former neighbor was named Anna.

My name is Anna (middle name Ther'sa) and I have always loved my name. Although as a kid I didn't much like being called Banana, I love the name now and my Dad still calls me Anna Banana. I have always felt that my name has a certain ring of kindness behind it and it is rather befitting of me. I am now 20, soon to be 21 and do not now many other Annas.

I never know what to think of my name. I think it is quite a pretty name, but it has its downsides. People think you're called Hannah, they write Hannah or Ana everywhere, when I started high school they got it completely wrong and put Annabel on all my files! that was disappointing. And it's quite a common name, and I`m not big on common names. I think my middle name runs quite smoothly with it however:- Catharine. Anna Catharine. You can't shorten Anna though, and the only nicknames I get are Banana and Spanner.

My name is Anna and I'm from Russia. i've been going by Anya my entire life, because that's a standard Russian nickname for Anna. However that does cause a lot of confusion here, and I always have to explain myself. My husband doesn't want to recognize Anna, he'says (as a joke of course) that he doesn't know any Annas. I don't hate the name, but I don't love it either. It's a little boring, but It's not ugly. Although I do hate when people call me Ana or Ehna. In Russian It's pronounced Ahn-na, and that's what I prefer.

My 8 yr old is named Anna Colleen. It means gracious girl. I have a very weird first name and did not want to put her through that, but I didn't want her name to be so average that you heard it everyday. I love that it will grow with her as she ages. She is unique, musically talented, and carefree about life.

My name is Anna and as I child I loved my name as it is made up of two letters it was easy to remember, making spelling very easy. I often get called Anne or Hannah but once people know I am called Anna they usually get it right the'second time. My God Daughter is called and Anna and seeing someone else by the'same name has made we like it more. The meaning is graceful which I am far from.

My friends name is Anna, and I'm Hannah, and when she was like 7, she had a b-day party, and it was "BACKWARDS" theme. We had to have our shirts backwards, our pants, everything. Even our names were spelt backwards on our shirts. Me and Anna were still Anna and Hannah. It probobally would've made me fell left out if i was the only one, but now I think It's kinda funny and cute!!

i love my name mostly because it means graceful. i was surprised when i first learned this because my grandmother's name is grace, and i have always been'told i act so much like her. this has been a wonderful complement because she is a truly graceful woman. anna is a beautifully classic and timeless name.

I am so proud to have this name. it may be common, but it flows so nicely! It's easy to spell (same thing forwards and backwards!) Some cons: My old landlord used to call me ANA (pronounced AH-Nuh) and it was a little weird LOL. You do get a little picked on as in "Anna Banana", but nothing serious! Would never want any other name!
