I love [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. A strong timeless classic.

I’m a fan of [name_f]Lena[/name_f] (I pronounce it Leh-nuh, but I think the other pronunciations are pretty too). [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is beautiful as well, but [name_f]Lena[/name_f] has cool, retro vibes that make it more intriguing and fun to me.

Gem7000 · April 20, 2021, 1:28pm

I voted [name_f]Anna[/name_f] I think I just prefer the simple elegance of [name_f]Anna[/name_f]

I guess I don’t like the pronunciation issues that come with [name_f]Lena[/name_f]? I say LEE-NUH, which is based purely on the very few Lena’s I know, but I know some people pronounce it LEN-NUH or even LAY-NUH. Saying that, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] can be either AN-NUH or AHR-NUH but I prefer those sounds to any [name_f]Lena[/name_f] variation I think

[name_f]Lena[/name_f] seems more unexpected, though they’re both wonderful!

ceilidh_rooney · April 20, 2021, 4:20pm

I really like both, they definitely both have a strength to them, with just the right amount of femininity. I voted for [name_f]Lena[/name_f] because it’s a tad less popular, but both are lovely classics

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I think that they’re both lovely, but I voted for [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. It’s pretty & classic & most of all, simple. [name_f]Lena[/name_f] has three different pronunciations, & I feel like that would just be a headache. The only plus to [name_f]Lena[/name_f] over [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is that it’s far less popular. If popularity bothers you a lot, maybe go w/Lena. But if you’re not terribly worried about it & you love them equally, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] seems like the winner!

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

[name_f]Lena[/name_f]! It’s short but packs a lot of personality!

Greyblue · April 20, 2021, 5:02pm

I love the strong sweet [name_f]Anna[/name_f]

skylerros · April 20, 2021, 5:04pm

I prefer [name_f]Lena[/name_f] as a nn & [name_f]Anna[/name_f] as a full nam.

almostactually · April 20, 2021, 5:23pm

I really like [name_f]Lena[/name_f]! It’s sweet and slightly unexpected.

SparkleNinja18 · April 20, 2021, 5:46pm

I love [name_f]Lena[/name_f]! It feels fresher and more fun to me.

fearlessfirefly · April 20, 2021, 8:43pm

I prefer [name_f]Lena[/name_f] since it’s less common.

eleanore3 · April 20, 2021, 11:07pm

Maybe [name_f]Alena[/name_f] as a combo of both?

Harvest-Endellion · April 20, 2021, 11:44pm

While I love [name_u]Anne[/name_u], [name_f]Anna[/name_f] turns me off. I don’t know why. [name_f]Lena[/name_f] is sexy and classy.

TWD · April 20, 2021, 11:48pm

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] is timeless and even though everyone knows an [name_f]Anna[/name_f], it still doesn’t seem too popular. It’s just perfect. But I do like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] as well.

Mrs.Humbleby · April 21, 2021, 2:47am

As others have said, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is a timeless classic.

cloverbug · April 21, 2021, 5:55am

[name_f]Lena[/name_f], but I love both.

Llewthewolf · April 21, 2021, 11:04am

[name_f]Lena[/name_f] is more unexpected and pretty however you pronounce it. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is very bland.

sierrajade · April 21, 2021, 3:09pm

I prefer [name_f]Anna[/name_f] because it’s classic without being boring, and I love the nickname [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] pronounced leh-na, but most people pronounce it like [name_f]Lina[/name_f] and the multiple ways can get frustrating to correct.
