Eh, I never liked Anna, Ann, Anne, Ana, etc. But I like Annabelle and its variants.

I like Anna well enough. It's my dd's name (Anna Caroline). I prefer some of the variants (Annabel, Anneliese, Annika, etc.) though there's nothing wrong with just Anna. Everything seems to go with it. I won't bother with combos since I'm sure you'll get plenty of suggestions.

Perfectly bland.

Beautiful.

I like it. It's classic and pretty and, although it is similar, its not as common as Ella, Emma, Ava etc.

---

There are so many variants of Anna! I like these ones best:

---

Anneliese
Annabel
Arianna
Susannah

I really like Anna.
My only problem with it is that there are so many Anna/Ana names now that she kind of seems over done and bland, even though she rarely appears alone...
Sad really.

I love Anna. It's probably my favorite name of all time. But it's a little common, so I tend to stick with Annabel.

I think Anna goes great with just about everything, especially really over-the-top names.

I never used to like it until recently. I used to think of it as quite bland, no personality. However, I love the simplicity of it now - it's pretty yet understated. Perosnally, I prefer Ana, its sounds more sophisticated (AH-nah) - but Anna is nice too.

I LOVE Anna! I would use it right away if we were to have another girl. I actually love Anna Sofia as a double name, but I also love it as a first and middle name.

---

Other combos I like:

---

Anna Rose (simple I know, but it's so pretty)
Anna Rosalind
Anna Caroline/a
Anna Elisabeth
Anna Charlotte
Anna Catherine
Anna Isabel

---

I like Annabel also, but I do prefer Anna on it's own.

---

Anastasia is another pretty and fancier name.

I like Anna. It's one of those names that are simple, yet elegant. I think it's best when pronounced as AHN-na. I'm not fond of the AN-na pronunciation, which I find boring, flat and stale. As far as combos go, I think it's best when paired with a lush, classy, polysyllabic name:

---

Anna Cornelia
Anna Elaine
Anna Elisabeth
Anna Sophia
Anna Victoria

---

I'm not sure what you mean by Anna variants, but I do like Emiliana and Christiana.

I have been loving Anna/Anne/Annie lately. It is short, feminine and pretty. I have been loving short simple names lately. I think my favorite is Anne, with the NN Annie. I considered it as a middle name for a long time, but now I think I like it for a first name.

---

Anne Elizabeth
Anne Margaret
Anne Eleanor
Anne Johanna
Anne Lorelei
Anne Josephine "Annie Jo"

---

Anna Rose
Anna Clair
Anna Jewel

I love Anna! It's in my top five for girls. It's a beautiful, short and sweet, timeless, classic, international, feminine name with such a lovely sound.

---

Some of my favorite combos with it are Anna Beatrice, Anna Beatrix, Anna Clare, Anna Claudine, Anna Clementine, Anna Clothilde, Anna Geraldine, Anna Gwendolen, Anna Lenore, Anna Louise, Anna Mathilde, Anna Rosabel, Anna Rosalie, Anna Rosalind, Anna Rosaline, Anna Roselil, Anna Rosemary, Anna Rosemonde, Anna Rosewen, Anna Thomasine, Anna Victoire, Anna Violet, Anna Violette, Anna Willow, Anna Winifred.

---

I like/love a lot of variants as well...e.g. Anke, Anne, Annebet, Anneke, Anneliese/Annelise, Annemarie, Annemieke, Annora, Anouk.

Anna is sweet & demure in it's simplicity. It also gives off an intelligent & elegant feel. I also really like Annabelle but that has more of a Southern belle feel.

I love Anna. I was named after my mother Anna, except they made it Ann instead. I always wished I had been an Anna (or even Anne).

Anna is timeless. It's elegant and approachable at the same time. What's not to love?

Anna is okay, I guess, but I don't like it. It doesn't interest me or evoke any sort of feelings or images. It's just blah. I don't have anything agains Hannah though. It has a nice simple feel to it.

---

Anne, however, I really love and would use. There's just something about taking that -a off that makes it fresh and lively and sweet. Plus I'll admit to being anti-Anna and pro-Anne somewhat because Anna is so popular and Anne is not. Poor Anne.

---

I do have the combo Anna Regine that I really like. I don't remember how I came up with it, but I heard something similar somewhere. Anne makes some really awesome combos.

I adore Anna. It's as close as you can get to the perfect name in my opinion. Anna Sophia is one of my favorite combos of all time.

Anna is my favorite variant, but I also love Annika, Anne, Anneliese / Annelise, and Annabel.
