How is the name Anna read?

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.)

That's the American 'calf'.
