As much as I love Anne and Anna, I'm not terribly in love with Anneli. It's nice, slightly frilly and rather charming, but I'm not a huge fan of the name Li/Lee/Leigh, as I think it's quite transparent and lacks personality, and so I think Anne on its own is a lot more solid despite being shorter and perhaps more plain. But I like Anneli as a nickname for something more elaborate like Anneliese. I believe it was fairly common as a middle name in Scandinavian countries at the end of the last century (though I'm not actually Scandinavian myself so I could have that wrong, I've just noticed a lot of women born in like 70's-80's, especially from Finland having Anneli as their middle name) and I think it's a nice middle name choice. But it feels rather underwhelming as a first name, and I guess in countries where it originates from it's not very fresh as a first name at the moment and has a rather dated feel (all the women with the first name Anneli that I've heard of were in their 50's or thereabouts, all from Sweden). But if for some reason I was to use Anneli as first name for a child, I think I'd call her Neli/Nellie most of the time rather than Annie or some other Anne-derived nickname.
I think if someone likes names like Annalee, Annaleigh, Annalie or whatever other spellings are out there but doesn't want to use such a name solely because it reminds them of the word "anal" or "anally", then Anneli makes most sense out of all the spellings because its original, Scandinavian pronunciation (AHN-neh-lee) at least in my opinion, sounds less close to these words, and also looks less suggestive of it than say Analie.

Anneli is definitely not a well-known name in Poland, nevertheless, last year, there were 15 women with this name in the Polish population. 18 had it as a middle name. No children were given this name in Poland last year.
An Anneli could celebrate her name day in Poland together with Anna (July 26) and use the same nicknames as Anna, plus perhaps also something like Nela, Nelka, Nelusia, Neli, Anelka etc.

Sounds quite pretty and I like this spelling.

For me it sounds very Italian with the 'i' at the end.

I'm not sure, but this name appears in Northern Germany every so often (I used to associate it with one or two rather elderly women in the villages around my place, but it seems to be becoming popular as a girl's name again - many of the old names do) that I have a hard time believing that it should be labelled as a "Finnish diminuitive" only.
I might be wrong, though. We've got quite a few Scandinavian-influenced names around here, after all. It used to be fashionable at times.

I suppose that "Anneli" is (despite its frilly nature) moderately endearing, but all positivity from my end ceases there.
Just as a reminder, the forename-middlename combination of "Anna" and "Lee" is rather common-- and this name meshes them into a single. When I consider that, it makes the distaste that I have for it grow.

Anneli has a nice sound. Unfortunately, it reminds me of 'anally.'

One of my middle names is Anali which is the Swiss/French version of this name. It is very uncommon and I like it as a middle name. It compliments my other middle name (Marie) nicely I think, and takes away from the over-use of the name Marie.
