Well, my mother-in-law is named Anny, pronounced in her native Belgium so the first syllable rhymes with John, but pronounced in the US just like Annie, and she hates it and has twice in her life said she's changing it, but never did.

I don't care for the sound, either. I don't like Anne but still Annie seems too much like a nickname. Yet I'd never use it as one.
