HelpRe: Annie
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
Maybe I should like it because I love this song:

On the other hand, it's not like it's a flattering portrayal.
My MIL's name is Anny. In her native Belgium, it's pronounced with the first syllable to rhyme with John. Americans, however, pronounce it like we do Annie and my MIL hates it. A couple of times she's even said she's changing her name. Never did, though. And although I don't approve of name changes, and wouldn't have if she'd done it, I could see why she wanted to.
So no I don't like Annie, and yes, it's too old fashioned.
