Longer names for Annie

[Chickenandpenguin]

Just pondering baby names (not sure on the sex yet) and we both love the name Annie but would want to give a full name rather than just Annie eg annabelle. But we both hate annabelle! What other names are there you can shorten to Annie?

Marianne, Annabel, Anya

Thanks for the ideas. There's none that stand out really, I can't even put my finger on why. Maybe we'll have to give up on the idea :/

Stephanie

Annelise

Anica (pronounced Aneesa).

What about just Anne/Ann?

That's the traditional name with the diminutive Annie.

Sorry not helpful but I honestly think annie is a beautiful name in its own right. My sister is annie and never gets asked what it's short for.

Angela
Angelica
Anoushka
Anastasia
Anais
Anna

Joanna
Hannah
Rosanna
Roxanne
Julianne

Love this name...if we have another ....

Not sure if anyone has said Annaline?

Anwen

Simply, Anne. An underused classic.

Thanks all. I think if we have a girl we'll just use Annie. I think any of the others would encourage other n names and I'm not keen on Anne.

Anna

Yes the one I know is an Angharad (sp?).
I love Johannah though

I love the Dutch 'Annegien', but not sure how well it would work in UK.

Anneliese (Ann-lee-ez)
Anya
Anneline

Angharad

One of dd's friends is called Julianna, Annie for short

My favourite Auntie was an Annie her full name was "Alethea". It means "truth"

We are having the exact same conversations at the moment. Can't decide between Annie, or Marianne, Anna or Annabel to be known as Annie.

Surely Anneliese is "anna lease" carbolic? Not ann lee ez? I know two both anna lease

My sister had a dolly called Lasagna as a child, that could be abbreviated to Annie.

I know an arianne who goes by Annie

Alannah? Anna? Annalisa?

Annie is fine on its own though.

Anne is hideous, unimaginative and old-fashioned - please don't saddle a child with Anne with there are so many nice names out there. (It's my name, and I hate it.)
