Annie short for...?

We're not keen on double first names like Anna-Maria but looking for a nice way to have Annie as a NN.

DD1 has a longer name and is exclusively known by the NN so hoping for something similar. Any ideas?

I would use Anne, then Annie as a nickname.

Anne with an E. Shirley if you’re looking for a middle name.

The Annie I knew was Anne. Same as Kate, the pet name is Katie. Annabel would work though.

SofaSpuds · 04/06/2024 23:42

Ann is my thought too, although not shortened.

Anna

Annabelle. That’s my name and Ive always loved it from childhood!

mdinbc · 04/06/2024 23:26

I think of is as a pet name for Anne. She may want to use her actual name as an adult, and one-syllable names are strong.

Antonia. So elegant and underused.

To me it’s a name in its own right, but I suppose lots of names could shorten to Annie.

Annette. Anastasia. Anita. Anya. Angel/a. Andrea. Annabeth. Annabelle. Antonia. Antoinette

I'm an Anne-Marie known as Annie.

I also know an Annabel known as Annie.

Well the Annie in my family was actually an Ann so make of that what you will. Anne or Anna are much nicer than the longer option like Annabel which I find too frilly.

Annaliese

LadyMuckk · 04/06/2024 22:42
