Anna or Annie?
Which do you prefer, and what middle name(s) would you use? All opinions welcome :)
Thanks!
Thanks!

Anna is classic, timeless and flexible with use in multiple countries. Annie is cute in a "Little Orphan Annie" winsome way, but it is definitely nicknamey and youthful. If I wanted to use Annie, I would probably use Anne as the full name.
Since Anna is fairly common and well known, I would go with a longer and more unusual middle name.
Anna Boudica
Anna Zoraida
Anna Keturah
Anna Walburga
Anna Consuelo
Anna Hodierna
Anna Tisiphone

Annie. I would prefer Anne or a longer Ann- name. Anna is a little played-out. I would definitely pick out a more unusual middle name.
I would simply never use Annie as a full name. It's like slang. Annie is slang for Anna. Hahaha
Anna is a nice name. It goes with BASICALLY ANY middle name. Since I'm feeling kind of groovy today, I'm offering up Anna Resplendence. My favorite combo with Anna in the middle is Octavia Anna or Octavia Anna Altaluna, my alter-ego/pseudonym. I find it so surprising there, almost abrupt. It halts the momentum of the name and throws it into a funny... mirror. It's like the clatter of a penny in a pool.

Anna Resplendence is bold! Octavia Anna (Altaluna) is great
Oh and:
“It's like the clatter of a penny in a pool.”
I like that.

Anna Daphne - that's really special. Humble yet beautiful and fascinating. Well done
Anna Clara and Anna Cordelia are pretty :)
Anna Calliope May is amazing, and Anna Rosalind, Anna Beatrix, and Anna Marigold are lovely too.
Anna Jane is weirdly pretty. Especially as a double name.
Anna Diana is pretty bad. :P
I really like Anna Cleo too.
