Who is Anne?

Several people have asked me who Anne is. I realize I probably should have clarified this a long time ago, but here it is. Anne, pronounced Ah-nay, is the Turkish word for mother. Anneanne is the Turkish word for grandmother. We thought it would be fun for Ryan's mom to have a Turkish name as her "grandma name", hence Anne (which is just easier to say than anneanne). So no, our son is not being disrespectful by calling his grandmother by her first name. Her name is Vallie.
