babynamesWhat could Anna be a nickname for, other than Annabelle?
Does Anna seem too informal to be a first name as itself?
How do you feel about using names your parents were going to name you or your siblings if they were the other gender? My sister and I were going to be Owen and Samuel, and my brother was going to be Anna(belle), all of which I like...but I don't know if it'd be too weird using them.

Date: 2006-10-08 06:21 am (UTC)My parents were going to name my brother Megan, Martha or Chloe if he'd been a girl. I quite like Chloe and Megan and if we decided to use them I wouldn't feel weird about it.. at least I'd know that I had my parents' approval! ;)

Date: 2006-10-08 12:08 pm (UTC)That being said, it's definitely in my top 5.
If I was going to be a boy I would have been Michael - sooo common that I find it boring. My brother would have been Rebecca if he was a girl, and I quite like that but I know too many people with that name. I know what you mean, it is a bit weird. I'm sure my mum would love it if I used one of the names she wanted to call us because obviously she likes that name and wants it to be used...and at least I'd know she likes it... but I agree that there is something a bit weird feeling. It wouldn't stop me if I loved the name though

Date: 2006-10-08 08:12 pm (UTC)Nah I don't think that's weird; it's quite sweet really, shows you like your parents taste.
If I'd been a boy my name would have been Richard, and I do plan to use that as a mn (they ended up using it for my younger brother). Only girls names of theirs I like are Megan and Clair; but I don't love Megan enough to use, and Clair is my mn.
