HelpAnnette
For as long as I can remember, I have planned to have Annette as the mn of my first daughter. It is my Nana's name and my Nana is the most incredible woman I know and honouring her is extremely important to me.
I was reminded today though how truly extraordinary my grandmother is- courageous, strong, clever, sassy, loving, kind- and all of a sudden I don't feel like Annette should be relegated to the mn position. If I ever have a daughter one day (and can talk my SO around to it), I think I'd actually like to name her Annette.
So- WDYT of Annette? I know it is somewhat dated but do you think it would work for a little girl today?
I think I'd call her Etta for short but what nickname would you pick? My Nana gets Anne or the occasional Annie.
ETA: Combo suggestions would also be awesome. I'm really struggling- nothing seems to sound good with Annette as a fn :(
