[Opinions] Annie

I LOVE it as a nn. I like it as a fn, but prefer it as a nn.
I love the name Anne! It's classic and elegant. If you want a cute nn though, I would prefer Ana over Annie. Annie is too cute b/c of course I think of little orphan Annie. But I have a friend who loves the name Annie so much I think she wishes it was her name! So I think I'm in the minority with not liking it.
I think it's too informal to be used as a fn, although I will admit to liking a few combos using Annie as a fn. But in real life I wouldn't want to see if used straight like that. Anne is much more mature and professional, and I also happen to ADORE it. I wouldn't use Annie as a nn, though. It's cute, but too predictable.
Ok so I wont say negative comments but to me Anne & Annie are a bit plain, and safe names. I always think of Anne as a middle name (filler) that most people my age have (that or Rae). I don't find Anne flattering enough to name my daughter this but its not terrible. To me its alittle androgynous, even though boys dont use it I still get a rougher feel about it. I also feel its older fashion but not yet ready for revival but that doesnt mean you cant start the revival. I personally prefer Anna over Ann and Annie. An-nah not Anne-uh.
