WDYT of Annie?

By itself, not short for Anne/Ann.

Love it!

I hate Anne/Ann.

I also like Annie as a nickname for Andrea, but not as much as I like it by itself.

I LOVE it as a nickname, but not by itself. It's way too childish sounding to go on a resume or business card. I'd go with either Anne/Ann or something longer like Annelise or Annabelle and shorten it to Annie.

I've never thought of Annie as a nickname for Andrea, I usually think of Andi.

Love it as a nickname. Hate it as a standalone name. Nick names shouldn't be full names.

I love it, and I think it's great as a nickname, but not standalone. I like it as a nickname for Anastasia.

I like it, but it falls under the category of forever being asked what your name is sort for.

I know an Annie short for nothing and it suits her perfectly, so it can work :)

I like it as a nickname for the name Annaliese or Anniston. Not a big fan of Anne or Ann itself though both are family names I would like to allude to with those two names above.

I agree with this. I think Annie is a terrible choice as a full first name, because it just sounds like a nickname; it also sounds very much like a name from Little House on the Prairie or the old West, a la Annie Oakley, which is another reason I'm not a fan.

However, I do like the names Anne/Ann, An, and Ani.

Not as a full name. Never.

I love it!

I've thought of using it, or Anna, in the future. I'm leaning towards Anna though.

i have to say that i like it better as a nickname. i think that anne is a lovely, refined name that is great for an annie to fall back on if she needs a more professional name for her business cards or something.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

I love it. It's one of my top names for a future daughter.
I was thinking of matching it with Claire for a middle name.

I love Annie! I think it works perfectly well as a name on it's own. I prefer it over Ann/e and Anna.

[lovelylittle.livejournal.com]

I completely agree. I think it's an adorable nickname but too young sounding for a professional to use.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I love it, but I think it is better with a full name for her to fall back on if she wants. I know an Anne who still goes by Annie as an adult, but I still think that it's good that she has the name Anne if she ever decides that Annie is too young or whatever.

I like it as a nickname for Anika, but there are tons of names it could be a nickname for. I love many of them. Unfortunately, Annie makes a word with our last names... otherwise i would use it for my firstborn daughter I love it that much. I am hoping to get away with Anna because it sounds less like a word, but we'll see....

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

No.

[omfg----hxc.livejournal.com]

Love it! Esp. more than Anne/Ann.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I like Annie a lot, but for me, it's too informal to be a given name. I wouldn't hate it on someone else's child though.

And I prefer Ani, for whatever reason. Maybe because a friend of mine spelled her name like that, but I think it cuts to the chase quicker than Annie and all those letters.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I love it, but only as a nickname. Too cutesy little girl for when she's an adult.

My top choice is Anne, but Annabelle is nice too. Or Annalise.

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

DO NOT WANT

Too informal, too cutesy, "Little Orphan Annie" "Annie Get Your Gun" etc.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I don't like it. I don't like Anne or Ann either. I do think that people should be named what the parents plan on calling them, so I see nothing wrong with Annie by itself, but I don't like the sound of it and it's just not my style.
