My mother-in-law's name is Anny. She's a native of Belgium, though she hasn't seen Belgium in over sixty years. From what she tells me, Anny in Belgium is pronounced with the first syllable sounding like the first syllable in Ronald. However, Americans pronounce Anny so it sounds just like Annie and that's what she's been stuck with for over sixty years. I guess that's just a negative consequence of emigrating to The United States that she didn't foresee, lol.
