Annie

Just Annie. Do you like it? Looking for some feedback

I really like it. We considered it for DD2. DH was in the camp of wanting a longer name on the birth certificate for what he saw as more of a nicknamey name, and we couldn't agree on one so ended up with something else. I do feel the same as him about some names but do think Annie stands as a name in its own right, and even DH might admit that 13 years on having met a few in the meantime!

It’s nice, do think it’s a tad boring though. Not much you can do with it except shorten in to Anne. I really like the name Anastasia though, lots of shortening possibilities including Annie. (I really like Tasia, Nastia, and Sia)

I love Annie - but it’s my mums name so it would be a bit odd to use it for a DD.

Bizarrely, I just got into my car and on the radio there was a song playing. It was ' Annie, I'm not your daddy' by Kid Creole and the Coconuts, it came out in 1982 when I was in secondary school and was sung at me constantly by all the hilarious people in my school, another reason why I hated my name. .

And yes Tigertots, I would also have loved to have been called Cordelia, (see even Anne of Green Gables hated her name).

I have a friend Annie, short for Annika - which I think is a lovely name.

I’ve never been keen on Annie. It seems unfinished somehow and a bit harsh sounding, whereas Anna is beautiful.

Are you ok?
