I think in some languages Anne is pronounced like Anna.

[vethica]

It is. Anne Frank, for one.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

I try really hard not to feel bothered when everyone I know (being from the US) pronounces Anne Frank.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? Now I'm embarrassed that I've been saying it wrong for ages. Thanks for teaching me something new!

[vethica]

It's okay, everyone pronounces it like "Ann" anyway, so you're not alone! Don't feel bad. :)

[(Anonymous)]

wait, what? people pronounce Anne Frank's name 'Anna'?

[(Anonymous)]

Not exactly, but in Dutch, the way the name Anne is pronounced sounds almost like Anna.

scroll down to the Dutch pronunciation.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm Dutch and I'm not bothered by people pronouncing it 'wrong' so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Sorry, now seem like the right time and place to vent?

[(Anonymous)]

I am not Dutch either, but my name does happen to be Anne too and I too don't care how you pronounce it, your best try is fine by me! Ann, Anna, Annie or Anne are all good.

And whether you spell it Ann or Anne doesn't matter to me either, it's clearly the same name and I am cool with your best try. One of the oldest and most popular in the world in fact, since it's the name of the mother of the Virgin Mary, so it's pretty self-explanatory, like other biblical names such Eve or Rachel etc. To give you an idea of how long this name has been around and why it shows up so often in so many countries.

No, what really gets my goat is being asked repeatedly to spell it by someone who stares as me as if they cannot believe I have such a stupid, unheard-of name and then end up typing it in their database as 'Hane' or Aynnie' or 'Nahnee' or whatever unbelievable combination they can dream up in spite of my carefully spelling it for them... I kid you not, this is now happening more and more frequently to me.

Really, it's not that difficult to spell or to pronounce, people, any close approximation will do!

Just don't make a huge song and dance about it please, it only encourages the weirdoes...

[(Anonymous)]

wat. no.

[(Anonymous)]

Er, yes. Anne in Dutch is not pronounced the same way it is in English.

[(Anonymous)]

It's more "Annuh" than Anna though.

[diet_poison]

Damn. Even in history my teachers always pronounced it "Ann". Thank you for the clarification, Veth :)
