pickle162 · 04/12/2017 19:52

Amelie

kaytee87 · 04/12/2017 19:44

Annie is a nn to me. As a pp said, Annelie is nice.

totsalot · 04/12/2017 14:26

Amelie has been done to death around here, it's the most commonly used name in playgroup. Annie is lovely and less likely to get the "Emily/Amelia/how do you spell that again?" scenario

SnowyPolarBear · 04/12/2017 14:20

Not keen on either. Annie is nicer.

Amelie will have a lifetime of mispronunciations. "Amelia?" "Emily?"

Anya is shorter than Annie. Beautiful name!

Justgivemesomepeace · 04/12/2017 12:44

I love Annie. If I wanted a longer name to shorten I think I'd go with Anya.

PandaCat · 04/12/2017 12:42

Annie

MikeUniformMike · 03/12/2017 12:32

Annie. Not keen on Ammerley

ByThePowerOfRa · 03/12/2017 10:37

If you are considering other names which can be shortened to Annie, I also love Anna with nn Annie. Or Anastasia, Annabel, maybe even something like Arianna shortened to Annie?

I do like Amelie, but it’s so close to Amelia and doesn’t always sound great in a British accent, (to me at least).

Notreallyarsed · 03/12/2017 09:47

Annie (I have an Annie). Ironically one of her best friends is Amelie!

iggleypiggly · 03/12/2017 09:46

Annie, beautiful name. Doesn’t sound like a nickname. And even if it did... does it matter??? Love the name!

zippyswife · 03/12/2017 09:46

There are tonnes of Amelie’s here. I think Anna is so classic and elegant and Annie can always be the cute nn.

MaisyPops · 03/12/2017 09:41

Amelie
I've never met one either so am surprised people are saying it's really common

MammieBear · 03/12/2017 09:38

Annie, is fine and stands well as a full name she can still go by Ann if she wanted to.

Joeybee · 03/12/2017 01:38

Amelie as Annie sounds like a nickname. Amelie is cute and modern sounding and elegant. It's a nice alternative to Emily also.

NeepNeepNeep · 03/12/2017 00:03

What about Mary?

DramaAlpaca · 03/12/2017 00:02

Annie. Although I do prefer it as a nickname.

IMO Amelie only sounds nice in a French accent.

stormnigel · 02/12/2017 23:53

Annie. Love it. Amelie is very common now and also I'm a bit weird about giving foreign names if you aren't yourself from that country...assuming you aren't French if course, in which case, as you were.Smile

NeepNeepNeep · 02/12/2017 21:09

Amelie. Never met one.

ByThePowerOfRa · 02/12/2017 21:06

Annie

CPtart · 02/12/2017 20:59

Too many Amelias by far, but Annie sound a bit wet.
Anna is lovely.

pipilangstrumpf · 02/12/2017 20:54

To me Annie is a cute nickname for Anna or Annabelle. I prefer Amelie.

rubberducker · 02/12/2017 20:34

Annie. I love Amelie too but there really are loads of them around.
