HelpRe: Annie
in reply to a message by Millie
Dated ... like, a century. Maybe even dated enough that it no longer is dated.
Annie and Carrie go together in my mind, in the sense that I picture them as Victorian-era adults or early/mid-20th-c. children.
It's okay. Because it adds a syllable to Anne, it's not so much a short form as an elaboration. Like Janie. Well, that is how I see it. So I think it's more-okay as a full name than, say, Kathy or Jessie. Annie seems very unpretentious... almost, but not quite, rough. It still reminds me of Little Orphan Annie.
I prefer Anna, Anya, and Anne in that order.
