Relative clause

If I know 20 different Annes and someone is talking to me about "Anne", should that be defining or non-defining clause? Which of these are correct?

1. Anne, the one who works at the pharmacy, says "Hi".

2. Anne the one who works at the pharmacy says "Hi".

3. Anne who works at the pharmacy says "Hi".

4. Anne, who works at the pharmacy, says "Hi".

Tara2 1. Anne, the one who works at the pharmacy, says "Hi". To me, this punctuation is not very satisfactory.

  • Tara2 1.
  • Anne, the one who works at the pharmacy, says "Hi".
  • To me, this punctuation is not very satisfactory.
  • I prefer: Anne – the one who works at the pharmacy – says "Hi".
  • This is OK for explaining which Anne you mean.

To me, this punctuation is not very satisfactory. I prefer:

Anne – the one who works at the pharmacy – says "Hi".

This is OK for explaining which Anne you mean. It's not grammatically a relative clause though.
