Anne/Annas Throughout the Generations

Like the -lyns, Annes, Annas, & Anas are a fairly constant part of American naming. Which specific -ann- name is most common changes with the times, but they generally comprise about 3-5% of girls born in a year. So for a fun look back, I decided to find the most common anne/ane/anna/anas of each generation.
