I would love to call a daughter [name_f]Annie[/name_f], but would want to give her a more formal/grown up given name. I love the sound of [name_f]Annalise[/name_f], but our last name sounds like geese.
What are some great names that would give me [name_f]Annie[/name_f] as a nickname? Our first daughter is named [name_f]Elena[/name_f].
I’d say basically anything with the “an” sound would work. 
[name_f]Ann[/name_f]/[name_f]Anne[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f] (ah-nah)
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Annabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Annemarie[/name_f]
[name_f]Roseanne[/name_f]/[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]
[name_u]Julianne[/name_u]/[name_f]Julianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f] (mah-ree-ah-nah)
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Luanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Leanne[/name_f]
At a stretch:
[name_f]Melisande[/name_f]
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_f]Milana[/name_f]
Or a double first name like [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f], etc.
There are plenty of “[name_f]Anna[/name_f]” and “[name_f]Ann[/name_f]” names out there.
[name_f]Arianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Adrianna[/name_f] / [name_f]Adrianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Viviana[/name_f] / [name_f]Vivianne[/name_f]
Joannah
[name_f]Lilianna[/name_f] / [name_f]Lilian[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] / [name_f]Diane[/name_f]
[name_f]Deanna[/name_f] / [name_f]Deanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Leanne[/name_f]
[name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_f]Julianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Anika[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] – slight stretch, but I don’t see why not!
[name_f]Angela[/name_f]
[name_f]Brianna[/name_f] / [name_f]Brianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanne[/name_f] / [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhianon[/name_f]
[name_u]Shannon[/name_u]
[name_f]Francine[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Annette[/name_f]
[name_f]Cheyanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
Obviously pretty much anything that ends in -ann can end in -anna. Or you could do a double fn such as [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Marie[/name_f] or [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Beth[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]-[name_f]Ann[/name_f], etc.
We were in exactly the same spot! Started by knowing she would be [name_f]Annie[/name_f] but wanted to give her a more formal name. We ultimately decided to name her [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and call her [name_f]Annie[/name_f].
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Anahi[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonella[/name_f]
[name_f]Angelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Angelique[/name_f]
[name_u]Andrea[/name_u]
[name_f]Anika[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabella[/name_f]
Annasophia
And some other ones you can get [name_f]Annie[/name_f] from:
[name_f]Mariann[/name_f]
[name_f]Alana[/name_f]
[name_f]Alejandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Lana[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Marnie[/name_f]
I suggest [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]! The name is classy, old-fashioned, and gorgeous. Obviously the nickname [name_f]Annie[/name_f] would work perfectly! [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Elena[/name_f] sound great together, especially if you call [name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] - then you would have [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] I helped.
