WDYTO Annabeth?

I love Annabeth! It comes across as strong, feisty, and independent, probably because of the Percy Jackson character. I probably wouldn't use a nn but, I do like Annie, or the more unusual Anbie. They don't quite have the same personality as Annabeth in full though. I like Annabeth with Edith and Margaret.
I like Anna, however I don't tend to like Annabel, Annabeth, Annaanything. Now, that being said I love double names with Anna or Anne as the first name... Anna Catherine, Anna Elizabeth, Anne-Marie, Anne-Claire, Anne-Alix, etc.
I know. It doesn't make any sense. There just seems something frilly, contrived (aren't all names really, though?) to me when it is stuck together like that.
I could see Anna as a sister to Edith or Margaret, but I have a hard time seeing Annabeth. It is just different stylistically.
Annie and Betty would be my nicknames though. I just love the old school, retro feel of them.
However, middle names are hard. :)

I find Annabeth sweet and I think it sounds well with the sisters you mention. I don't think Annabeth necessarily needs a nickname but, if I were using nicknames for siblings I probably would for her too...probably "Beth" or "Bette". How about...
Annabeth Cara
Annabeth Delia
Annabeth Gertrude - I like that
Annabeth Heidi
Annabeth Ivy
Annabeth Lucy - like this too
Annabeth Robin
Annabeth Winter
Annabeth Zoe

It sounds really cutesy and baby-dolish, at odds with the old-lady Edith and Margaret. I might think it was all right as a rather cutesy nn for Anna Elizabeth, for instance.
