Full name for Annie?

[YorkshireTeaGold]

Hi! Dd2 coming in 6 weeks and DH and I have been majorly struggling for a name. We both love Annie but in my view id like a more formal version as her full name.

I find Ann a bit dull, love Annabel but dd1 is Isobel so that's out. We both love Marianne but is that a bit too unusual? Any other suggestions? Girls names are hard! Thanks for your help, need inspiration!

Marianne is my name and the only person who's ever shortened it was my dad who often called me Annie.

I also love Anneka and Anouk which would shorten nicely to Annie

Annmarie or Anya would be lovely. Annalise is another very pretty name xx

I love Annie as it is. It was my great grandmother's name, not short for anything.

I was going to suggest Annabel or Anneliese so now I have read your post, I say Anneliese That was on my list. I love it.

Marianne is beautiful by the way but not sure that Annie is an obvious nick name, but so what, you call her Annie from day one.

Antonia is lovely

I really don't like Annie. Mostly because of the sodding musical. But so long as people avoid singing "Tomorrer, tomorrer, I love yer, tomorrer" around her, she should be fine.

My nn through life was/is Annie. I hated it. All old people would say Annie get your gun. And at school it was Annie Fanny or Granny Annie :( not nice. Would def have it as a longer name so she can use that if she wants.

yeh it would have been unfashionable when I was growing up in 70s and 80s but same goes for a lot of names that sound nice now but were old lady names when we were young

Schmoochy I love Antonia too, it's a beautiful timeless name.

Anne.

I love Marianne! And I love nicknames that are slightly unexpected.

Dd was going to be Annabel or Anneliese. We plumped for Annabel. Anneliese would be lovely

Thanks all, like the positive comments about Marianne and Annie as nn. Not going to get her a ginger curly wig and big fluffy dog though.

Fairly sure we're going to go for that - suggestions have helped confirm so many thanks xxx
