I don't think I'd noticed that. But "Ana" is both a really common name and a really common series of sounds in other names.

[kaijinscendre]

Well, Moana means Ocean and is Polynesian. Which I expect is the reason they use it. Anna and Tiana fit with the time period/location as well (iirc). Also, three isn't exactly a pattern. You also have Emma and Rapunzel and Merida.

[(Anonymous)]

Tiana doesn't fit the time period at all, at least not for a movie set in New Orleans... or anywhere in America.

[(Anonymous)]

But... Names ending in -ana are... Really common...

[iceyred]

This honestly smells like a desperate attempt to find a reason to hate Disney.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I love Disney. I just don't love their obsession with -ana names.

[(Anonymous)]

They should retroactively change all their names to rhyme with "ana."

Snowanna
Cinderana
Aeriana
Pochahontanna

[(Anonymous)]

Aurana
Jasmana
Mulana
Bellanna
Rapunzanna
Um... Nalanna?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Banana ana snowana cinderana aerana tiana....

[(Anonymous)]

Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca the Third

[solticisekf]

What? Is Moana movie confirmed?!
And everything is so green on the bottom image... It looks stylized, like in Pochahontas.

[morieris]

Yeah - November (I think 17th? Or 26th?) 2016.

[morieris]

To be fair, while Anna is not pronounced like EHHHna (look that's the closest example I have) and she and Tiana do share that sound - the exact way - Moana is kind of that EHHHna sound so it's not...too similar.

[brooms]

i always forget elsa's sister's name is anna, which is odd because it also happens to be my name.

[(Anonymous)]

-ana is a really common sound in names, and people tend to think it sounds really pretty and feminine, which is probably why it's gotten picked a few times recently.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd never noticed the "Ana" thing, but this reminds me of Indian girls' names - "Priya" is both a really common name and a common shortening of a name. I'm sure it's true for many languages.

[(Anonymous)]

Well Moana is still likely to change.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, to me Anna doesn't really fit with the others. I know in many languages it's AH-na, but I've always heard people saying the character's name ANN-a, which is how it's usually pronounced in English. Whereas I would assumed Tiana and Moana are tee-AH-na and mo-AH-na.

Anyway, there are sooooo many 'anna' and 'ana' names I can think of...

Adriana
Alana
Alanna
Anastasia
Anna
Annabel
Ariana
Arianna
Brianna
Deanna
Diana
Emiliana
Evanna
Floriana
Hana
Hanna/Hannah
Jana
Joanna
Juliana
Lana
Leanna/Lianna
Liliana
Luciana
Mariana
Marianna
Nana
Nanna
Rosana
Rosanna
Roxana
Shoshana
Silvana
Susanna/Susannah
Svetlana
Tatiana
Viviana

Did I forget any?

[cloud_riven]

This secret just makes me want to sing the name game.

[iggy]

I really think that this is probably coincidence.

I say troll

[(Anonymous)]

Because this is such a pointless issue to complain about.

[(Anonymous)]

Damn, never noticed that and now cannot unsee. If I'd read a fanfic with that pattern of naming, I'd be offering concrit to the author that their names were becoming a bit generic sounding. Need to get away from the "ana" suffix.

[(Anonymous)]

Remember CinderELLa, AriEL, BELLE? This is nothing new.

Frozen names for Hans Christian Anderson

[(Anonymous)]

Well, there was a reason Anna was used in Frozen - four names were a nod to Hans Christian Andersen.

Hans
Kristoff
Anna
Sven

This was one of the points the person who tried sueing Disney brought up as stealing her life story - she had boyfriends named Hans and Kristoff. But Disney had posted their reasoning for picking those names. :/
