[Opinions] Annie
WDYT of Andrea nn Annie? Anne is a long running name in my family and I would like to use it. I have always adored Annie but would want it to be a nn. What other names could Annie be a nn for?

I haven't read the other responses so I apologise in advance for any repeats.
I'm not fond of Andrea, but pronounced 'ahn-DRAY-ah', it's not so bad. I personally prefer using Annie on its own, but I'd consider using it as a nickname for:
Anastasia
Annabel
Anne
Annalee
Anina (an Aramaic name meaning 'answer my prayer')

My ex-boyfriend's sister's name was Andrea and she went by Annie. I think it's nice. Andrea wouldn't be my first guess if I met someone nned Annie, but I'm not really sure what would be (I guess Anne). I really like Annie, though. It reminds me of the play. =) My favorite fn for nn Annie is Anastasia.

I think Annie is fine as a nn and can be easily used for just about any name that has an "an" sound in it. Andrea is nms.

i have a first cousin whose fn is Annie. Too plain i think, and she doesn't even have a mn. But it is cute as a nn for sure.
