ana is spanish, pronouned ah-na, and anna is well, anna.
true, but at least here "ana" is sometimes pronounced like anna.
eoin is, like a someone said above, gaelic.

i guess youre right with ana, but those pronouncing it like anna would be incorrect. eoin really baffles me, i didnt mean to sound like i was doubting you, i had just never seen it before. i wasnt sure if it was some crazy kreaytiv spelling or what. the whole gaelic language sort of baffles me anyway, so i suppose i shouldnt be surprised. :)
