Anna or Annie?

[Ivortheengine8]

I like Annabelle too, but it's become quite popular so would like to stick with Anna or Annie.

What do you think?

What about Rory for a boys name?

Annie is a diminutive/short/affectionate version. If you go for Anna, you get to use both :)

How about Ane? The Scandinavian version of Annie pronounced with a long n and an ascending e

I like Annie and also love Rory.

Anna. Love Rory.

:) It reminds me of Annie the musical!

All lovely, see which one feels right when baby is here.

Anna. Lovely name.

Definitely Anna - beautiful name and like someone said you can call her Annie as a pet name.

Much prefer Anna to Annie but think Anna is much higher up the lists than Annabelle?

Is it Manic? I'm off to check that again! I think we would end up calling her Annie/Anna though anyway.

Does anyone think it is a bit too common?
I want something traditional but a bit unsual and Anna is about the only one my DH will agree to.

Love Anna and Rory. Annie could always be a nn for Anna!

Annabel, with Annie for short.

Rory is quite nice.

Annie
(my niece!)

Anna. Annie sounds whiny

Anna. Nickname Annie, if desired. Anna I think is more classic / beautiful for the birth certificate

love anna was on the list for dd

not mad keen on rory (racing car, lion, gilmore girls etc)

Well DH doesnt like Rory so thats a no now! :(

anna. was my girls name for dc3. we had a boy!

friend is nn annie...her name is anne marie. i also know another annie as a name on its own.

love annie, but would prefer a "proper" name with annie as a nn.

Annie

Anna is a lovely elegant name, Annie is too cutsie. You can always use Annie as a n when your DD is small

I would pick Anna or Annabel)le because Annie is fashionable now but is less classic than Anna. So even though I really like Annie it'd be my least favourite of the three to put on the bc.

Thanks all, I shall take all your comments into my consideration! :)
