Anne is NOT pronounced Annie!

I'm so very sick of a rather simple name being consistently pronounced wrong! Also, this only started as of a few years ago.

Anne with silent E is NOT new!

It's not Annie of Green Gables, Queen Annie Boleyn, Annie Hathaway, Princess Annie, or Annie Rice. It's ANNE! Argh!

I mean, I could see it if it was an odd name. In elementary school I know a girl name Kaija (kye-ah) and that was forever getting mispronounced. But Anne? Oi.

Yea, it's not like Anne is weird.

My daughter is René. She gets called "Rennie" and both she and I hate that.

Well sure, because if you wanted her to be called Rennie you would have named her that!
