[Opinions] Annie
I love the name Annie, but what would it be short for? Or would you just have it as a FN?
Replies
Annie is what my sister is called. Her middle name is Ann. I love it, and I think it works really well as a nickname on both children and grown women, but it's too insubstantial, in my opinion, to stand on its own as a first name.
Here are some ideas for Annie's full name.
Ann (or anything with the middle name Ann)
Antonia
Antigone (a pet name of mine lately)
Frances (so much nicer than Franny)
Annika
Annora
Bethany
Brianne
Calanthe
Cheyenne
Diana
Gillian
Hannah
Johanna
Leanne
Liana
Rhiannon
Savannah
Susannah
Vivian

I think pretty much any An- name could have the nn Annie. I personally like the idea of Andromeda nn Annie.

Annie is so sweet. I don't like it on its own, but I think you'd have to search hard to find a more sunshine-filled nickname.
Anne is one of my favorite names, so I'd use that, but I also like Anna, Annabeth, and Marianne. I think it's cute for Susan and Susanna, too, and would be a good Angie alternative to any Ang- name.
From your Annie list below, my favorite is Annie Florence. Very cute.

Aw.
My name is Ann. Strangely, no one used Annie as a nn for me until I met my dh in my 30's. He asked if anyone else ever called me that. When I said no, he said, "Good. Because I want to be the only one to call you that." It was my first indication that he was serious. My heart still flutters at the memory.
That said, I do find Annie to be too nn-y to stand on its own. But then again I'm biased.
Formal name options:
Ann / Anne / Anna / Hannah / Anouk / Anais / Annette / Annika / Annemarie / Annabel / Anya / Anneliese / Annelie / Annalee / Hannelore / Grace / Graciela, Antonia / Antonina / Antonella / Antoinette, Andromeda, Andrea, Angela / Angelica / Angelina / Angel, Anjou, Alexandra / Alexandrine / Sandrine / Alessandra / Alejandra, Cassandra, Lysandra, Leandra, Xanthe, Iolanthe, Xanthippe,

It's cute as a nickname, but personally I wouldn't use it as a full name.

etc
Or what about

My mother's name is Ann, and some people call her Annie. It could be short for...
Annabelle/Annabel
Anna
Annora
Angela
Angelina
Angelica
Antonia
...and any other An- name you can think of.
I think it stands on its own just fine, though. It's a nickname, sure, but I know a lot of people who have nicknames as full names, and they seem fine with it.

No way! ;)
I went to school with a girl named Annie (full name) and I think it works well on its own.
