What are your opinions on this name? Do you think Annie would work for short?

I like it; I think it would work; I know one known as Anty though. She's ace.

It's lovely. Anna would work for short, I think.

Love Antonia! What a pretty name.

Really like Antonia. Annie would work as a nickname too, I think Smile

Love Antonia. Love Annie too.

I have a good friend called Antonia so I only have good feelings about the name. She's very clever and loyal.

I really dislike Toni. Of course I would call them Antonia but I know I'd end up shortening it like I did with my sons name. I think Antonia is beautiful but dislike Tonia, Tonia Nia and so on. I thought Annie sounded OK with it and sweet for a baby.

I am team yellow! Just love this name :)

Love it,
Use Annie while you get to choose, give your DD scope for something different as she gets older

With mine and Bunny's completely opposing views, we're not much help to you.

I have a friend called Antonia and she gets called Toni.

Antonia is nice. Don't think you need to shorten it at all. Annie seems more of a nickname for someone called Anne.

salvadory · 10/01/2014 18:17

Lovely name and I really like Annie. Not keen on Toni just because it feels more 80's and therefore a little dated.

OhCaptainDarling · 10/01/2014 18:16

Like the name, but I don't think Annie would work for short at all.

What about Toni?

The girls I know with this name has nn which have nothing to do with real name. Like Coco or Sissy etc.

Withknobson · 10/01/2014 18:16

Love it, beautiful under used name. Can't say I'm over keen on nn Annie though. Why not just use the full name?

BunnyLebowski · 10/01/2014 18:15

Annie is beautiful (and on my list for this DC) but I really dislike Antonia. I just don't think it sounds very nice.

Plus I have an irrational dislike of feminised male names.

Annie on it's own gets my vote.
