annelise for sure!! i love annie, but i don’t instinctively get it from hannah. annie makes perfect sense for annelise, and it’s still a fresh and unexpected way to get it in my opinion while also feeling so apparent and familiar 
If you’re wanting to get to the name “Annie” the best thing you can do is name her [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. Not every kid wants a nickname and not every person will use the nickname you are wanting to use. So the best way to [name_f]Annie[/name_f] is [name_f]Annie[/name_f].
The next best default would be [name_u]Anne[/name_u] would be [name_u]Anne[/name_u] and just tell people you are naming your child something you like and not something they approve of. Best advice I can give is to limit the name conversations with others. 4 kids and we don’t reveal any sort of name ideas until after the baby has been born and named.
[name_f]Annelise[/name_f] would be my pick as it’s hard for me to see [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] defaulting to [name_f]Annie[/name_f] at all. I know a few Hannah’s and have never thought to call them [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. But [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] could always have other defaults like [name_f]Elise[/name_f]. So again if you want [name_f]Annie[/name_f] I vote [name_f]Annie[/name_f] unless you’re ok with all the other first name/ nickname options others might end up using or your child end up preferring.
I may be biased because [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] is my middle name (spelled the same) but i world personally chose it over [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]. I feel it fits better with the nickname [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. I feel like it’s also a bit classier, it’s sounds dainty and delicate but also strong. I also like the way you spell it because I feel, like you, that the other versions are a bit ‘too much’ for the lack of a better word. I don’t know if this helps, but i hope it did!

I’ve loved [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] my whole adult life!
That’s so funny! 
I haven’t heard people syress the second A so much.
[name_f]Annelise[/name_f] is classier and less basic.
