As it has been said before theres no female for ANGEL in protuguese!
I´m brazilian and I acutally went to school, so I know better (lol)
and as its much more likely that the baby will be raised in the U.S, I think they wanting it or not will be spelled ANYAH

just like Tanja, Sanja…etc

but it´s truly a beautiful name!
am expecting a baby girl myself and I opted for Amber Louise…much more common tho

Anja is a Russian name
It is pronounced “A-nya” in America, but it comes from name Anna, or Hannah
Anja means “Grace Of God”

Congrats Alessandra & Jamie!

In Portuguese Anja is pronounced differently than Anya. It can means angel, even though the Portuguese word for angel is Anjo. Since Anjo is a masculine word, some people do use the word Anja for girls (even if it’s grammatically wrong). I’m Brazilian so I know how to say this name in Portuguese. However, I’m not sure how to explain it here… Well, it’s something like “Un -Ja” but our j sounds a little stronger though. I hope this helps ;)

Aww, congrats to her and Jamie! I’m happy for the both of them, and I love their daughter’s name.

I see her daughter’s name being pronounced just like you would its variant Anya. Same way you pronounce Sonja as you would “Sonya”. Different spellings, same pronunciation.

I forgot she was pregnant.

Cute name…different but not “scratch my head” kinda weird.
