What can be shortened to Annie?

Love the name Annie, and it’s a homage to family members from both sides, but would like a longer nickname so they’ve got more of a choice if they decide they don’t like Annie later in life. Any suggestions?

DS was at school with an Anneka, shortened to Annie.
I also know a teenage Anne who prefers Annie.

Love annabel/Annabelle but can’t use as have an Isabelle! Joanna is lovely, perhaps dated but I love it, probably my favourite so far. I love classic, traditional names - if anyone has any more, please keep them coming!

Love Alannah and Alanis, even tho Alanis is a bit “out there” for me! Some great suggestions further upthread too but unfortunately the same names as a few of my work colleagues, so that rules them out too! A lot of names I hadn’t considered at all as relating to Annie, thank you!
