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

MaisyPops · 03/12/2017 09:41

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

zippyswife · 03/12/2017 09:46

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

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

Notreallyarsed · 03/12/2017 09:47

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

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. Not keen on Ammerley

PandaCat · 04/12/2017 12:42

Annie

Justgivemesomepeace · 04/12/2017 12:44

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

pipilangstrumpf · 04/12/2017 14:15

Anya is shorter than Annie. Beautiful name!

SnowyPolarBear · 04/12/2017 14:20

Not keen on either. Annie is nicer.

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

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

kaytee87 · 04/12/2017 19:44

Annie is a nn to me. As a pp said, Annelie is nice.

pickle162 · 04/12/2017 19:52

Amelie

Sophronia · 04/12/2017 23:21

Definitely Annie
