Alternative to Annie

[alotoftutus]

Hi ladies,

So Annie is my absolute favourite name however I can't use it 😔 My friend has an Annie and our eldest daughters have the same name so it would just be strange.

I can't find anything I like as much though.

I like quite girly names ending in the ie or y sound but that's not a deal breaker.

I do like Lottie but I don't love it.

Please help me to fall in love with a name more than Annie

Paisley
Esme
Evie

Emmie
Aubrey
Cassie

Hayley

Stevie (Stephanie if you want a longer version; also gives capacity for Annie pet form).

What do you like about Annie? Will have a bearing on other suggestions.

Agree Nancy has a similar feel.

If you like Rosie, what about Posey?

I think you can do better than Annie tbh, it's quite plain and a bit twee.

Can you go with something like Anne or Annabelle and use Annie as a nickname?
