Annie or Lottie

[forgetaskingme]

Baby due next week, which do you prefer?
Will probably give her longer versions on BC Annabel or Charlotte. Thanks

I like Charlotte better than Annabel, and like Lottie better than Annie.

I like both, but I think I’d pick Annie

I prefer Charlotte to Annabel, but I much prefer Annie over Lottie.
I'd put Annie or Ann/Anne on the BC.

Similar to Lottie but I really like it: Hattie short for Harriet.

Annie is lovely. Not keen on Annabel. Charlotte / Lottie is ok, prefer Annie though.

I like Annabel nn Annie best. Lovely name, and she’s got the options of Anna / Bel if wanted when she’s older too.

Charlotte is a gorgeous classic, and I like Lottie for a child, but some of the teen Charlottes choose to go by Charlie, which I’m less keen on personally.

Edited to add - I know a girl who is Annie on the bc, so that’s another option. Or Anna nn Annie.

Annie but with Anna on the bc

I prefer Charlotte/Lottie

Agree with all of this, though I'd also go Anna on BC.

I also love Harriet/Hattie

Annie definitely.

Lottie.

Ooh I’ve changed my mind to copy this!! I prefer Annie to Lottie but I’m not fussed on Annabel. So this would be ideal!

Just Anna if that was a choice, Nn Annie

Otherwise Charlotte

Same here!!!

Why do they need juvenile ‘ie’ names? Anne/Charlotte are such beautiful names.

Annabel nn Annie

I have young children (8,5 & baby) and haven't come across a single Annabel or Annie but know of loads of Charlotte's and Lottie's.

I prefer Annabel only because I know so many Charlottes!

If you call her Annabel, she might not always want to be Annie. She might end up being Anna or Bel.

I prefer Annie.

But I don't like Annabel so I'd use Annika instead- love that name! Or Anya.

Charlotte Anne is very pretty.

Annabel. Its meaning is grace and beauty - what more could you want!
Lottie - sounds a bit horsey. Prefer Charlie personally for Charlotte.
Annie has the cute factor and Annabel the sophisticated but also opens up to Belle/Bella.

Please not Annie. I always loved the name, but.. as the elder sister of an Annie who spent ages 12-17 being Fanny Annie.. it’s not worth it.

My name is Annie. Never been called Fanny Annie! Love both OP. Great choices.

She might decide later on that she doesn’t like Annie/Lottie if you use longer version on the birth certificate so it might be worth considering if you prefer Charl/Charlie/Charlotte or Anna/Belle/Annabel, as well as the diminutives you like

Tough one as I prefer Annie to Lottie but Charlotte to Annabel!

Annie
