[Opinions] Re: Annie
I don't know how it is seen as default. I've never met an Annie, plenty of older Anne's but not an Annie so for me it's not common or "default" as you put it. Besides it's not for a character, I'm thinking about it realistically for a future daughter.

There was a set of twins a year or so older than me in school named Angie and Annie. I know of a woman who's probably fifty now who is Anne, but is usually called Annie.
By default I mean not that it's common, because it isn't really all that common, it's just got that vibe to it, same as Janie. I don't know a single Janie, but it's still a name that gives off a strong vibe of "Let's spin a hypothetical scenario: Little Janie has two apples and wants to share them with Little Johnny and Little Annie. How many slices should she cut the apples into so that everybody gets an equal share?" Janie, Johnny, Junior, Annie.
