I said it's doable, but I think it's a big stretch. I much prefer Anna, Ann, Julianna, Julianne, Annabel, etc. as a full name for Annie. Hannah is more of a standalone name -- a pretty one, but not one that tends to have a nn.

My DD is named Hannah Grace and it has never occurred to me to call her Annie. Around home and grandparents she sometimes gets called Hanny or Hanny Grace(or Gracie Goose, but that's another story:). Hannah to me is a stand alone name that has no real nn.

Thanks! I want an Annie and DH wants Hannah and he is trying to convince me that we can have both. Don't think so!

It's kind of cute, but typically when I think of nn's, I think it is a dimunitive of the name...like it's so-and-so "for short". Hannah and Annie are BOTH "short" names to begin with, and have the same number of syllables (2) and seem like they take the same amount of time to say... so I don't think there's much of a point in having a nn for the name "Hannah". I think it's fine for it to be used in its full form.
