When my daughter was born, we knew what we wanted to name her–and I knew what the spelling had to be: Anne with an “e.” I didn’t even know why I felt so certain that the ”e” had to be there–and then this year I reread Anne of Green Gables and it all came back to me. I loved that book, read it a ton of times as a kid, and of course Anne insists that her name is ugly without the “e” at the end.
Because of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables, my daughter spells her name a certain way. That’s power.
