"This is my middle name as well as my mum's. I love it." Jan. 19, 2016: 
"My son's wife's name is Ann. Before I met her I thought this is a bit strange name, like not complete ANne, without this distinguished aura which has Anne or even Anna. But now I don't agree with it. Ann is a pretty and feminine name, classic and short, I like such names the most. All my children have classic, short names, including Ann's husband. So I think Ann and her name really fits our family and the name Ann fits our Ann." Nov. 7, 2015:
"I'm a Ruth Ann. No name goes better with Ruth than Ann!!!" Feb. 6, 2011:
"My name is Ann. I was given this name when it was at its peak! (1960) It is rare now for a girl to be Ann versus Annie. It feels very classy to be Ann. My mother loved it. She fell in love with the girl in the Bobby Daren song "Artificial Flowers" which was #1 when I was born. There were 7 Anns in my grade school and about 5 Ann-Maries. Needless to say, when the nun said "Ann" many girls jumped!" Aug. 16, 2010:
"My name is Ann-Marie as one name as opposed to two but people usually call me Ann, Annie. I've gotten Anna Banana from a friend and AnnaMaria. All in all I think Ann is quite a pretty name. It's sophisticated and regal as opposed to plain." Jul. 3, 2009:
"My middle name is Ann. I love it, it's a classic name." Nov. 1, 2008:
"Ann is my middle name - Nicole Ann... It just flows really nicely. Plus it is my mother and god mothers middle name" May. 20, 2008:
"hi people

Ann MO." Jan. 1, 2008:
"My mom's name is Ann...It's a beautiful name but it gets difficult when the cousins are over. They usually just tag on an "ie" and call her Auntie Ann vs. Aunt Ann.
Luff her name though." Nov. 25, 2006:
"My name is Ann and I love it. It's very, very rare now to meet anyone with the name as their first name. Simple and beautiful." Sep. 1, 2006:

"Even as a little kid I hated being called Ann. I thought it was a harsh, stingy, mean, distant name. After I left home it morphed into Annie which is more affectionate, and I like it better, but I feel more like a Mimi or an Yvette." Dec. 3, 2018:
"My first name is Ann. Middle is Marie. I ask my mom all the time why that name. Couldn't she think of anything else? But she loves it. I think it is boring and plain. All the other Anns I have met have been 30+ years older then me. I really don't like the name." Dec. 17, 2009:
"My middle name is Ann also, as is my mum's. I'm not a big fan of it as its quite plain and boring. I'm afraid I won't be carrying this on as a middle name when I have kids. I like the name Annabelle though." Jun. 21, 2008:
"its only good when you trn it into something cute..like annie" Jun. 24, 2006:
