How many people have 'Ann' or 'Anne' in their board names? I am sure there are a lot of us. I can think of four at the moment. I know it is a common name.

The same goes for 'Susan' there are a lot of those too.

I don't find it confusing though. Does anyone? :-D

MEEEEEEEE

I hope our names are not confusing as they are similar. I can change mine if it is.

Ann, Anne or Anna, from Hebrew Hannah - meaning "favor" or "grace".

Saint Anne of the House of David & line, was the mother of the Virgin Mary.

Ann is my middle name - never use the first which is Patricia - don't like it - I was called Patricia at birth, then a woman across the road had a little girl she called Patricia Ann - my mother was livid so I was called Ann from then on - and I'm glad about that

My paternal grandmother was Jennet Ann
