First off, I have a question: Does it bother anyone to see repeated names posted here, or do you just assume there will be since no one is going to memorize all the names posted?

(meaning I love Anne the character, not Anne the name, on which I'm neutral.)

(Although of course Anne is much more distinguished than Ann.)

Yeah, I know sometimes last names can sound okay as male first names. . .but I have a hard time with Shirley. I know where you're coming with the Di, because I was the same way with Court being a nickname for Courtney. (It reminded me of a grassy field). I have a cousin named Dianna, and I remember when I was little, we would say it in a way that made it sound Die Anna. (Which I pointed out to my cousins wasn't nice, because Anna was my mom's name). I think I came to separate Di from Die as I got older, and then especially hearing about Princess Di. (Not that I'm saying anything about you, mind you).

I love the Anne character too :). and but of course, Anne with an E is much more distinguished. ("Spell it out A-N-N and it looks positively dreadful!")
