Re: Annie
in reply to a message by Millie
I think it can work on its own, but I would only use it as a nickname. Anya and Anna are both better than Annie, imo.
Annie is adorable, and it really doesn't bother me to see someone else use it as a standalone. For me, I love so many members of the Ann- family, using "just Annie" would be a missed opportunity. I love Anne, Annabeth, Anna, Annika, Annemarie, Marianne, Anneliese, and so many other names Annie could be a nickname for...I could use one of them and still have Annie, too. Win-win.
