I love both!

But would have to say Amelie as Annie sounds more like a nickname to me.

I know you didn't ask for suggestions, but have you considered Annelie (nn Annie)?

Amelie

AnyaMoondial · 02/12/2017 19:28

Annie Smile

Annie! Could use Anne/ Anna as the 'official' name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/12/2017 19:37

Anna, nick name Annie.

NoelNiki · 02/12/2017 19:39

Amelie

Kittykatmacbill · 02/12/2017 19:46

Annie - I am a bit biased, it’s dd1’s name :-). It is a proper name not a nickname!

BabloHoney · 02/12/2017 19:49

Annie! Classic and beautiful x

daisypond · 02/12/2017 19:53

Annie is a diminutive/nickname to me. It'd be fine if it was Anna or Anne officially. Amelie has been done to death. Amelia?

IHeartKingThistle · 02/12/2017 19:54

Oh my God, these were our final two names! So weird!

We went with Annie. Such a fab name.

userabcname · 02/12/2017 19:54

I like Annie. I know so many little Amelies, Annie is a refreshing change.

YouThought · 02/12/2017 19:55

Annie, I think Amelie is way too popular.

Mrsknackered · 02/12/2017 19:55

Annie. I used to love Amelie, but like previous posters said - it's been done to death!

PaxUniversalis · 02/12/2017 19:57

Amelie!

Annie sounds quite dated.

PricillaQueenOfTheDesert · 02/12/2017 20:00

Amelie. Annie sounds boring and lacking in any imagination like Susan or Mary.

PricillaQueenOfTheDesert · 02/12/2017 20:02

Er, maybe wait until

Tomorra, tomorra, I love ya, tomorra, ya only a day away

Then decide. 😃

rubberducker · 02/12/2017 20:34

Annie. I love Amelie too but there really are loads of them around.

pipilangstrumpf · 02/12/2017 20:54

To me Annie is a cute nickname for Anna or Annabelle. I prefer Amelie.

CPtart · 02/12/2017 20:59

Too many Amelias by far, but Annie sound a bit wet.
Anna is lovely.

ByThePowerOfRa · 02/12/2017 21:06

Annie

NeepNeepNeep · 02/12/2017 21:09

Amelie. Never met one.

stormnigel · 02/12/2017 23:53

Annie. Love it. Amelie is very common now and also I'm a bit weird about giving foreign names if you aren't yourself from that country...assuming you aren't French if course, in which case, as you were.Smile

DramaAlpaca · 03/12/2017 00:02

Annie. Although I do prefer it as a nickname.

IMO Amelie only sounds nice in a French accent.

NeepNeepNeep · 03/12/2017 00:03

What about Mary?

Joeybee · 03/12/2017 01:38

Amelie as Annie sounds like a nickname. Amelie is cute and modern sounding and elegant. It's a nice alternative to Emily also.
