Re: Annie
I like Annie. It's actually quite a rare name in my area. I've only known two. I don't see it as childish, maybe because the Annie I grew up with was very sporty and stoic.I see Annie as one of those sort of fin de siècle frontier lady names. Annie, Nellie, Millie, that kind of thing. The names are technically pretty flimsy but the people behind them are adventurous and daring.

Annie is rare where I live too. I only really know people called Anna and Ann/Anne, no Annies. But for some reason I think Annie feels less dated than similar names like Nellie and Millie.
Correct answer.
