My best friend in high school was Annaliese.
She pronounced it anna-LEES.
She hated that so many people shortened it to just "
Ann."
She preferred to be called by the full length of her name and she wished it had been spelled the classic way,
Anneliese.
I don't like
Liesel. It sounds like diesel and I have the same pronunciation problems that I have with
Laurel.
Annie is extremely boring for a name like
Anneliese.
Bullying potential:
As someone mentioned below it can be anal-ease. It can also be on-a-leash.
