I like Annie as a nn...need suggestions for full name

BabyBurns · December 2010

What names would lend themselves to Annie as a nn? Unfortunately DH doesn't like Anna (which I prefer and love!) I think he'd go for a more traditional full name. I need ideas though! Thank you

Analisse, Anabel, Annalynne

Edit: Spelling

melissa721 · December 2010

Anaya, I know a few girls with the name Anaeli (pronounced a-NELLy), Anita

*Scuzzlebutt* · December 2010

Anneliese, Annabelle, Anastasia, Susanna

How about Annika? That's my DD's name.

My youngest is named Annie Ruth ( after her g-grand mother and grandmother) so we liked Annie as a stand alone (obviously). I know other people don't like NN without a formal name but we areokay with it.

Anne

My given name is Anne, but I've always gone by Annie. The only other Annie I've ever known is also an Anne.

My best friend's name is Adriana, we've called her Annie for years.

I know of someone who just had a baby girl last week named Susanna but they call her Annie!

Annabelle was one of my top choices...Another is Giuliana, or you could spell it Juilianna. I am spelling it the first way to give her a sense of her Italian heritage...that is very important to me.

One of my mother's friends recently had a little girl and they named her Annalise, and I think that is beautiful.

I like Anne or Anna the best. Annika is cute too. I love the nn Annie!

Sarahhasboys · December 2010

Anne is by far the best option IMO. I love it and would use it in a heartbeat.

Anisa

Sorry, I'm with you. I love Anna and think either that or Anne would work best (or Annie as a standalone name). I'm not a fan of any of the others.

onislandtime · December 2010

Angela, Angelina, Annika, Annalise, Annabelle, Anna Marie, Andrea

scoutkate · December 2010

Definitely Anne if he doesn't like Anna.

Anne is one of my very favorite girl names.

Annie Ruth is adorable! I absolutely love it! Annie is one of my favorite girl names, but she will most likely be a redhead and I don't want people to think of little orphan Annie. Ruth is DH's grandmother's name and we will definitely use it as a middle name. Do you call her by both names?

My cousin's daughter is named Anais Antoinette, they call her Annie. (An-eye-iss...though I have seen Anna-ees as an alternate pronunciation). I believe she also has an umlaut over the second a.

I have another cousin named Annika but they call her Ani (Ahn-ee).

SarahPLiz · December 2010

My sister is Analiese, and we call her Annie. Most people pronounce it Anna Lease, but my dad does the French for ah nah ees. I like my dad's better.

alohamora · December 2010

I'm surprised nobody has suggested this, but what about Diana? Nice, classic, formal name and Annie is a nn for it.

moseyma · December 2010

I love Annie, it's my mom's and my great grandmother's name (mom is Anne, Grammy Annie was just Annie). I would use Annabel in a heartbeat (I'm a big Poe fan, so this spelling only for me), but my DH vetoed =( Definitely my favorite Annie option.
