I'm not actually pg or trying to name a baby so this thread is not important or urgent, I'm just curious.

What names can Annie be a nn for (except for Annabelle and Anastasia?) And are there any names where Anne/Annie is in the middle or at the end (except for Bethany)?

very good, spawnchorus I like the way you think. Definitely with 4 As, or would 5 be better?

I love Anais but not sure I could use it due being neither French nor glamorous.

I am called Anne, and I hate it! its my middle name, and my first name is much nicer. First name is very common in my family, so Ive always been called Anne, and as im 34 its a bit late to change it. I would give anything to have a name with a bit more oomph! Irellevant to your discussion I know, but I just had to let it out. xx

My cousin is called Catherine, but lots of people call her Annie. Think that's to do with our maiden name though. Mind you, there are 4 of us who used to be Miss Maiden-Name, and she's the only one who ever got called Annie.

chicaguapa and magaly Funnily enough, one of the reasons I am keen on the nn Annie for a DD is that my sister is called Stephanie and I thought it would be a nice kind of "she's named after you but not quite" gesture!

AnnieBeansMum, exactly- Annie is lovely isn't it, but I know what you mean about wanting a more adult name as well.

Greensleeves Tiffany was my childhood hero....I had a picture of her I used to carry around with me (I was only 6, in my defence).

V impressed by MNers encyclopaedic knowledge of names!

I keep having random flashes of names that fit

My dd is Anya but she has always been Annie. DH and I were the same as you - we chose Annie because we loved it as a nickname, but we also wanted her to have a more adult name for when she was older. DH's nan was in a complete flap for weeks about it. Kept telling us that nicknames were vulgar and that if we wanted her to be called Annie we should have just named her Annie. This coming from the woman whose name is Eileen, but is always called Ellie.

Anneka

Melanie or Bethany. I think Melanie is really pretty and although i normally am not too keen on spelling creativity, Melannie with the intention of using nn Annie is really nice.

I also like the suggestion of Stephanie. That's lovely.

doozle · 04/04/2010 20:53

Annalise and Anya are lovely.

BigWeeHag · 04/04/2010 20:50

DD is Áine which is the Irish form of Anne - her NN is Annie.

DD has a girl in her class called Stephanie, which is shortened to Annie.
