Greetings,

how should I read the name Anna? With the first a as in cAt, or as in cAlf :?:
 
This is how it's transcribed in the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English: ˌænə

The "a" as in "cat" is how I hear it (or the "a" in "calf" in AmE).
 
Thank you.)

I have never heard the calf pronunciation of Anna.
