I never got the appeal of this as a nn or a full name. Yeah, it's cute and sweet and spunky blah blah blah. But it's just so down-at-the-heel and dirt-road. It's cute the way a little barefoot kid with scraggly hair and a grubby face and hand-me-down dress is cute; a cheap "awwww!" and nothing more. Poverty as Marketing Gimmick, or something.
I think Little Orphan Annie's name was well-chosen. Whether her image is responsible for the image the name projects, or whether the name was chosen because it already projected that image, who knows?
