Opinions on Annie? We like this or Mabel

Annie Mabel
Mabel Annie

Love love Anne. I think it's such an elegant straightforward name. Can't you call her that on birth certificate and Annie day to day?

She may want a less cutesy name when she's older. My friends Annie and Tessie both reverted to Anne and Tessa when they started work for example (still Annie and Tessie to everyone else).

Annie short for Anwen

I love Annie, and Annie is much nicer than Mabel.

Annie is a great name. But I would say that 😉

If DS had been DD he'd have been Annika, NN Anni.

I love them both!!! So pretty! I think 'Annie Mabel' flows a bit better than 'Mabel Annie' though. But both are super cute!

My niece us Annabelle Mabel. I adore her name. Beautiful 😍

And in actual answer to your post, I love both names but not together. They don't flow to me. Bith beautiful though.

Annie is lovely whatever age. Mabel is a tuck, sorry! Like May, like Belle do not like Mabel- ugly name IMO!

Thank you ladies! I can’t stop thinking about Annie! I think it might be ‘the one’ the only problem is I have a family of redheads😂😂 Both me and OH are dark though and DD is darkish so we should be ok but it’s playing on my mind!

The red hair could still come out. Both my parents have dark hair and I’m a redhead. I don’t know where it comes from, none of my living relatives have red hair.
As long as your surname isn’t Hannigan or Warbucks you should be OK people might find it cute!!

Were you born with red/light hair? Maybe we will have to do a quick change over if she comes out with red hair🙈 My hair is curly too so she could end up a doppelgänger😂

By change over I mean the name...not the baby!!😂😂😂

My grandmother (born 1902) and my great-grandmother's sister (born 1890s) both had Annie on their birth certificates, so for me it's an "old lady" name, not a cutesy toddler name. I love it! If we'd had another DD it would have been on our shortlist.

It's gorgeous and cool and strong and you know it. Use it.

biased

Mabel is deeply frumpy.

Anna, with Annie as NN.

I dislike Annie unless as a nn. Anne?

Thanks! After reading so many comments that it was people’s grandma full name on birth certificates I feel more reassured that it is a name in its own right. It also fits with my DD old fashioned name for this reason. It’s officially number one contender! Thank you all :)

Annie is very precocious.

Much prefer Mabel.

I'm an Annabel but my close friends and family call me Annie. Both names are pretty uncommon, from my experience.

My full name is Annabel Joy.

My DM is an Anne but hates it and has gone as Annie her entire adult life. I’m fairly sure her ‘toddler’ name hasn’t held her back - she’s management in an NHS Trust I love the name Annie but won’t use it as it seems a bit much to choose my mums name, particularly as I like it rather than it being because it’s her name iyswim?

Annie is lovely and is fine as a BC name. Annie Mabel Dragons is great.

I think Annie is lovely. I've only taught one, and she was a really cool and funny girl.
