Help[Opinions] Re: Annie
in reply to a message by Millie
Annie is kind of a "default" name. It's the kind of name you'd expect an author to use when he can't think of any other name but thinks Mary is too "default."

There was a set of twins a year or so older than me in school named Angie and Annie. I know of a woman who's probably fifty now who is Anne, but is usually called Annie.
By default I mean not that it's common, because it isn't really all that common, it's just got that vibe to it, same as Janie. I don't know a single Janie, but it's still a name that gives off a strong vibe of "Let's spin a hypothetical scenario: Little Janie has two apples and wants to share them with Little Johnny and Little Annie. How many slices should she cut the apples into so that everybody gets an equal share?" Janie, Johnny, Junior, Annie.
