What can be shortened to Annie?

[canteditme]

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?

I have an Annie. I do love it but wish I had named her Annabelle and shortened it to Annie.

I’ve always loved the name Annie Rose from the Alfie books

You could use Anne? Although Annie is longer, not shorter...

Me too. So sweet. Though I don't like the name Annie. Love Anna though.

If a Joanna ended up being Jo, or a variant, would you be happy?

Annabelle
Anoushks
Annelise
Andrea
Annemarie

I love Annelise as a name. One of my friends whose grandmother was Russian called her daughter Anoushka in homage but she's known as Annie. Another friend has an Annabelle who is known as Annie.

Annie is a great name in itself though.

Yes, definitely. For context, I also have a long name and only ever go by the nickname, but it’s a name that could be shortened to lots of things, like Elizabeth nn Lizzie. I have and probably will always use the nickname that I use now, but I like having the choice and want to give my daughter that if she decides she doesn’t like Annie. Although I suppose I could name her Annie and she could go by Anne if she prefers? Don’t know if anyone does it that way around though?

I love Annalise too.
Annalisa is nice as is Annick.
But my choice would be
Anna, Annie Rose or Annalise.

Anya
Anna
Annabelle
Annalise

Any name with the An start of a name. Fun fact, my grandma's birth name is Anne but growing up she used to be called Annie which she didn't like so she goes by her middle name. So not everyone will will like being called Annie as a nickname/name.
