Much prefer Anna or Annabel to Annie. Nice names.
Rose and Anna sounds nice, Rose and Annie not so much tbh.

I have Rose and Annie! (and Florence) I love Annie and have had many many lovely comments about her name and how well they 'go together'

Thanks for your posts - we are worried that Rose and Anna sound like two parts of the same name 'Roseanna' and Annabel sounds too fluffy after the simplicity of Rose. We love Annie but that may sound a bit nicknamey on its own

Exactly, Annabel is too fluffy.

Well, how about something equally simple like Grace?

My first thought was Emily...probably because of The Zombies song, which is beautiful but depressing as all fuck.

When I hear Annie I either hear 'A knee' or I'm reminded of the musical, with that awful screechy voice...
It also does sound a bit nicknamey to me tbh. And I put it with names like 'Millie', names which aren't very strong sounding iyswim. (Sorry anyone with a Millie).
Just my opinions though..

Fleur.
I really really don't like Annie, also because of that godawful musical.
Anne/Annabelle/Anna - all fine though.

Anna is gorgeous and I really like the nn Annie - am a little jealous of the Rose and Annie combo!

I like Anna rather than Anne or Annie.

Unless you want a flower theme in which case Iris....
