I personally prefer it as a nn for Anneliese.

I love Annie as a name on its own or as a nn

I can definitely see it as a full name. I don't think it would be weird or too informal. In fact, it's one I've thought of using myself.

---

Possible formal names with nn Annie:
Ann
Diana
Roxane
Cassandra
Susannah

It is cute on the right kid, but I don't like it on anyone above the age of about 7- so it needs a full name IMO.

---

My favourite full names for it are Annora and Anais. I also really love Annelie which is a form of my mn. Andromeda nn Anna is a GP of mine and that could work with Annie too (although I do appreciate the fact it is quite out there :-p)

Full name or nickname. Doesn't matter

---

I've seen plenty of elderly women with the full name Annie and it seems to have served them quite well. I have the same opinion of long held nicknames as first names like Molly, Penny and Sally.

---

I like Anne, Anna, Annabel but I like Annie equally well. If anything, I find it more unexpected in this day and age. I know in some places nicknames Katie, Evie etc have taken off but I still never see Annie used.

I've grown to like Annie quite a bit, but only as a nickname.

---

My favorite full names for it are Anne, Annemarie, Annemieke, and Susanna/Susannah.

I have a relative, age about 27, who is always called Annie-her formal name is Anne. She's a musician, and her name on the programme is always Annie Lastname.
other names-
Anastasia
Annette
it's silly, that's all I can think of, for the moment.

I went to highschool with a girl named Annie (it was her full name) and it worked very well as a full name.
Personally, I'm not a fan of it (I just have a hard time liking Ann- names) but it's not a bad name.

I love it, but it probably would do best as a nickname. I love Annabelle/Anabel/whatever and AnnaMaria. Susanna would be pretty too :D

I love Annie! I definitely prefer it as a NN only, though. I like to have more formal given names. I love it as a NN for Anneliese, or for just Anne.

I like Annie, but I think it should usually be a nn. A lot of things could have the nn Annie... here's ones I like
Anna
Anne (with the "e" only)
Anabel, Anabella, etc.
Annika
Anneka
Anastasia
And I suppose it could be used for things like Andrea and Anali as well..

I'm not fond of it. I just don't like the way it sounds, I guess. I'm not fond of Ann or Anne either, to me they're just so plain and boring.

---

I'd use it as a nickname for Anne, if I had to use it. It could also be a nn for Annabel or Anastasia or Annette, I suppose.

My mother-in-law is originally from Belgium and her name is Anny. She says that in Belgium Anny is pronounced so that the first syllable rhymes with John, but here in the U.S. people pronounce it the way they do Annie and she hates it. Just a sidenote.

I love Anna. It seems like the ultimate classic and feminine (yet not over-frilly) name. For some reason Ann/Anne has a different, more boring vibe to me.

---

Annika is probably my favorite derivative, then Annabel or Annabelle.

---

I would use any of those with Annie as a nickname. I'm not too keen of Annie as a full name.
