Angie. An-gee.

It's UGLY, though.

Like "ohnge"

Don't like it.

I'd pronounce it Anya.

So would I.

same here.

Me too.

Same with me.

Anya.

ahn-yeh. like antje minus the t.

AN-yeah. Or AH-nyah.

My brain read it as "Angie," originally, then corrected itself to say something closer to "ON-yuh." If the former is correct, not a big fan. If the latter, it's pretty and exotic, but I think it would confuse a lot of people who speak English.

Angie?

An-yuh

Anya, basically.

Ahn-jay

First thought was "Eww, is that Angie?"
Then "Maybe it's an-hey"

angie (ann-gee), but i can also see it as anya (ahn-yah).

Either Anya or Anye (like Kanye but without the K).
I think it's one of those names that looks pretty spelled out but would either sound awful or result in a ton of mispronounciations.

Ahn-yeh. I can't really explain the -e sound, kind of like a clipped -ah.

probably like angie. i don't know if that's correct though.

Wow I'm surprised at all the Angie responses. To me it was obviously Anya. I suppose it depends where the name comes from. If it was a language like German or Dutch or something similar, I think it would definitely be Anya. But other languages would pronounce it differently I guess.

It comes from being exposed to so many kids whose parents tried to creative-up their otherwise normal names. =)

ahn-ya

The first thing my brain thought was Anya.
