Long names that can be shortened to Annie

33 replies

I like the name Annie but dh thinks names should be long versions which can then be shortened. I don't like Annabel though and Angela/Angelica/Angelina are out.

Can Susannah become Annie do you think?

Any others?

Thanks

Neah, Susie for Sussanah.
Andrea? Annie is a great name -- think Annie Lennox!

Anastasia can quite easily become Annie.

Annie's fine on its own really.

In fact it's rather lovely.

Um, Anastasia? Anoushka?

Anita?
Marianne?
I think Annie is nice as a stand alone name.

Annabel is the only one I really like. Annabel/Annie would be gorgeous though.

Of course Anna and Anne can also be Annie.

Anneliese is OK but nobody can spell it. Anastasia is overkill.

LiffeyAgSnamhAnLaCoille · 29/12/2008 21:15

Oh sorry, you don't like Annabel! I think Susannah is just crying out to be Susie really.

What about just Anna on the birth cert and then let it 'evolve' into Annie. To keep your husband happy. I don't see why Annie is any less of a name than Phoebe or Ruby or any of the other millions of names that end in 'ee' sound.

Moondog, you're in a funny mood this evening.

Mooddog?!

Lionstar · 29/12/2008 21:20

I know an Andrea shortened to Annie.

Marianne is a favourite of mine.

My friends dd is Joanne and they are calling her Annie

BoccaDellaVerita · 29/12/2008 21:27

I know an Antonia, always known as Annie.

LiffeyAgSnamhAnLaCoille · 29/12/2008 21:29

Antigone!

LiffeyAgSnamhAnLaCoille · 29/12/2008 21:29

Marianne is a new favourite of mine too.
