Annie?

Opinions on Annie? We like this or Mabel

Annie Mabel
Mabel Annie

Annie is certainly better than Mabel! That is fo' sho'.

Annie is a sweet little girl's nickname - can't you call her Annabelle or Anna and use Annie as an affectionate form/ nickname? Annie, Suzie, Livie, Lizzie... They are all ways of adapting names to show familiarity and affection, but not names strangers or people you don't like use...

I'm not keen on Annie as a name in itself - though it's fine as a diminutive. I think Anne or Anna are better. I don't like Mabel at all, although it seems to be popular on here as quite a few people seem to ask about it.

Prefer Anna or Annabel. I like Mabel better than Annie, sorry

I think I agree, I love Annie but not keen on Anne/Anna and my friend has an Annabel. I think Mabel is still the one but I can’t shift thinking about Annie-there is a family link to Ann too

Annie is better than Mabel. But it’s still a nn....

Anna Mabel?
Or maybe Amabel or Annabel with an other middle name (obviously not Mabel... maybe Edith, Polly, Peggy, Sybil, Cora, Poppy, Susan, Maud?)

I love Anna, but I think Annie is a kind of toddler diminutive?

Thank you, Mabel will definitely either be first or middle name though

Could you consider Amabel? That's the original name of which Mabel is a diminutive.

My eldest is Annie. Love her name

think I agree, I love Annie but not keen on Anne/Anna and my friend has an Annabel. I think Mabel is still the one but I can’t shift thinking about Annie-there is a family link to Ann too

Hm... do you like Annelie, Anastasia, Annika, Anita, Annabeth, Annaliese, Anneke, Annette, Anina or Annora?

Unfortunately I don’t seem to like any of the longer versions Freddie and I’m not keen on Amabel as it seems like Annabel said weirdly to me.

Mabel. I've never liked Annie. Sounds harsh to me but I like Anna.

I know a baby just called Annie. I must admit I thought that was a little unusual. I knew a girl at school who was Annie, from Anne.

Anne and Anna are lovely imo. I personally don’t love Annie (a bit too ‘nickname-y’) but it is cute, easy to pronounce, spell, not too popular...
Do you like Nancy?

Annemarie or Marianne?

Mabel just sounds too old-lady to me. Annie is nice, but I would probably have it as a shortening for something else.
Having said that about Mabel, old-lady chic does seem to be coming back a bit with regard to names. It’s certainly a contrast to all the Lily-Maes and Darcie-Graces etc.

How about Anya? That's another Anna diminutive, a Russian one, that I think sounds OK as a full name.

Freddie I do like Nancy but I had a cat with that name and when she got run over I was traumatised-so Nancy is a no go too.

Annie has been a name in it's owner right for over a century , it's lovely . Annie Mabel is cute

Arianna Mabel nn Annie?

I have an Annie and she's fab! Have taught a few Annies and they've all been brilliant girls.

Ken our DD has an ‘old lady’ name too so it would fit but I do think we will get a few raised eyebrows.

I just think Anne, Anna or Anya are so much nicer.

Oh I’m so conflicted🙈
