Which one do you prefer?
I love vintage 'old lady' names!
Thanks

@Chickenpeppers What on earth is wrong with Annie? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Chickenpeppers

I’m really struggling with why Annie is so terrible. But appreciate children can be cruel and random with it.

I remember reading on here years ago about a boy who was bullied based on his name/ears. His name was Daniel - “Daniel, Daniel, got ears like a cocker spaniel” was the taunt.

Annie is fine for a child but a 40 year old Annie sounds childish. Anna gives you the nn option of Annie as a child & more classier, mature first name for an adult.

I don't think a 40-yr old Annie sounds childish. I know one aged 30 and it suits her, and it's no more childish than Ellie or Evie. I had an Aunty Annie and it suited her at all ages, but she was Ann on her BC - she just wasn't an Ann.
