Ann(e)

Pros:
  • It fits a lot of different periods and places. (According to the Academy of St. Gabriel, Anne is better for this than Ann.)
  • I can claim it to be a shortened form of another name, expanding the list to even MORE periods and places. (Ann is better for this than Anne.)
  • Buffy chose it. ^_^ (Anne, that is.)

    Cons:
  • Very similar to [livejournal.com profile] tpau's name.
  • Possibly a popular name? I haven't heard it a lot, though...

    In the SCA, popularity of names is almost exactly the inverse of what it was in the Real Middle Ages. Most people want an "interesting" name, so the names tht were actually common in period, are often rare in the SCA. For example, *no one* is listed in the current Carolingian Liber as "Mary", and there are only a few close variants, despite it being far and away the most popular female name for most of our period. We currently have an Anne of Felding, and an Anne of Framlingham listed in the Liber; that's not too many.
