Anna or Annie?

[Ivortheengine8]

I like Annabelle too, but it's become quite popular so would like to stick with Anna or Annie.

What do you think?

What about Rory for a boys name?

[KatsMaw]

Annie is a diminutive/short/affectionate version. If you go for Anna, you get to use both :)

[posterofagirl]

How about Ane? The Scandinavian version of Annie pronounced with a long n and an ascending e

[LillyTheMinx]

I like Annie and also love Rory.

[ThePathanKhansWoman]

Anna. Love Rory.

[Ivortheengine8]

:) It reminds me of Annie the musical!

All lovely, see which one feels right when baby is here.

[Hassled]

Anna. Lovely name.

[olddeuteronomy]

Definitely Anna - beautiful name and like someone said you can call her Annie as a pet name.

[manicinsomniac]

Much prefer Anna to Annie but think Anna is much higher up the lists than Annabelle?

[Ivortheengine8]

Is it Manic? I'm off to check that again! I think we would end up calling her Annie/Anna though anyway.

Does anyone think it is a bit too common?
I want something traditional but a bit unsual and Anna is about the only one my DH will agree to.

Love Anna and Rory. Annie could always be a nn for Anna!

[SloganLogan]

Annabel, with Annie for short.

Rory is quite nice.

[notevenamousie]

Annie
(my niece!)

[wobbleBob]

Anna. Annie sounds whiny

[Mowlem]

Anna. Nickname Annie, if desired. Anna I think is more classic / beautiful for the birth certificate

[Darnsarfupnorf]

love anna was on the list for dd

not mad keen on rory (racing car, lion, gilmore girls etc)

[Ivortheengine8]

Well DH doesnt like Rory so thats a no now! :(

[chimchar]

anna. was my girls name for dc3. we had a boy!

friend is nn annie...her name is anne marie. i also know another annie as a name on its own.

love annie, but would prefer a "proper" name with annie as a nn.

[razzlebathbone]

Annie

[MelinaM]

Anna is a lovely elegant name, Annie is too cutsie. You can always use Annie as a n when your DD is small

[Bandwitch]

I would pick Anna or Annabel)le because Annie is fashionable now but is less classic than Anna. So even though I really like Annie it'd be my least favourite of the three to put on the bc.

Thanks all, I shall take all your comments into my consideration! :)
