I should mention that Andrus is the last name, not a middle name.

It's not just too many As -- Amelia Andrus would be fine. It's the repeating "An". It's just too cutesy and hard to say, sorry. You know, you could probably call her Annie as a nickname without a first name that has anything to do with Anne. Lots of people are nicknamed a variation of their last name.

Its not horrible and I love Annie (think Andy Anderson, the character in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days).

Is Andrus the last name? or what you were planning for the middle? I wasn't sure

Andrus would be a really strange middle name for a girl regardless of what the first name was

Annie just should NOT stand alone. It's just too nick-namey

Anna, Anastasia, Annaleise, Andrea, Ann-Marie, something other than just Annie for her to have on her business cards some day

It would be short of Anna. And Andrus is the last name.
*sighs* I've had my heart set on Annie since I was a little kid....but my boyfriend has gone and ruined that lol

Thanks for the input guys.

What about the possibility of giving her a hyphenated last name? Say your last name is Smith. If her name was Anna Smith-Andrus, it wouldn't seem nearly as repetitive as Anna Andrus because it's broken up by the Smith.

I did think about that, but I would never curse my child with my last name (Schumacher.)
Far too long and nobody can pronounce it.
I think we will just have to agree on a different name.
I'm crossing my fingers for Alexandra :)

I don't think it sounds "weird"...but it sounds a little-- almost like an androgynous music artist- like a name David Bowie would take on as another alter ego... Is Andrus the last name, or something you were thinking of using as a middle name? If it's the last name and you really like the name Annie, I'd go with something else as the first name where Annie can be used as the middle name-

Anna
Annabella
Anisa
Annika
Anella

something like that...

Yes, Andrus is the last name. And my boyfriend REFUSES to give in on ANY variation of this name so I have given up all hope. I now hope that my future daughter will love the name Annie as well so that I can at least have an Annie for a grandbaby someday!!! lol

Anna is actually what it would be a nn for, but he still says Anna Andrus will get her teased too much.
Tis life.
