Fern is beautiful!

I like Fern

Annie is nice too, in a more classic sort of way, but Fern is more original

If I used Annie, I think I'd make it a nn for something else, eg Marianne

Annie (as a nickname for Anne or similar).

Annie.

Fern is too feathery and light. A stocky little Fern would seem all wrong somehow.

a fern is a very dull plant though isn't it

I love both.
I prefer the Fern spelling.
I love Annie, always wanted to use it, but there is quite a chance that one of our dc would have red hair so dh said no way Grin.
I would go for Anne. nn Annie.
