Amelie has been done to death around here, it's the most commonly used name in playgroup. Annie is lovely and less likely to get the "Emily/Amelia/how do you spell that again?" scenario

Not keen on either. Annie is nicer.

Amelie will have a lifetime of mispronunciations. "Amelia?" "Emily?"

Anya is shorter than Annie. Beautiful name!

I love Annie. If I wanted a longer name to shorten I think I'd go with Anya.

If you are considering other names which can be shortened to Annie, I also love Anna with nn Annie. Or Anastasia, Annabel, maybe even something like Arianna shortened to Annie?

I do like Amelie, but it’s so close to Amelia and doesn’t always sound great in a British accent, (to me at least).

Annie (I have an Annie). Ironically one of her best friends is Amelie!

Annie, beautiful name. Doesn’t sound like a nickname. And even if it did... does it matter??? Love the name!

There are tonnes of Amelie’s here. I think Anna is so classic and elegant and Annie can always be the cute nn.

Amelie
I've never met one either so am surprised people are saying it's really common

Annie, is fine and stands well as a full name she can still go by Ann if she wanted to.

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

What about Mary?

Annie. Although I do prefer it as a nickname.

IMO Amelie only sounds nice in a French accent.

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

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

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