Opinion on a girl's name with (bad) family history

Hello

My husband and I are just trying for our second baby, I secretly hope for a girl since I already have a boy, and I was talking about names with my mum. I am from Belgium, my husband is Scottish and we live in Scotland. So we need a name that sounds good in French and in English. I really like Annie, it's pronounced the same in both languages, and I think it is really cute. But my uncle (my gran's brother actually) used to be married to an Annie, their separation went horribly and he no longer talks to his kids because of her. My mum directly brought her up saying that she couldn't dissociate the name from her terrible aunt. Do you think I could still go for Annie in those circumstances?

Thanks

Lili

I like Annie, but would probably choose Annabelle or Ann-Marie with Annie as a nn.
