Daughter’s name is Anne-people pronounce it Annie

[Anonymous]

The only people who would pronounce it that way would be people that don't know her and are looking at the name in print. So just tell them. Simple.

My name is Anne. A handful of people who are very close to me call me Annie, so it drives me crazy when strangers do it. I truly don't know how they don't know that Annie is it's own name and Ann and Anne are pronounced the same.

Get over it, OP. It happens.

I'm terrible with names. I know a Sophie who I called Chloe for a year. I also called someone named Ashley, Lindsey for a year.

Our neighbor of 20 years calls me Cathy. My name is Sarah.

That's what I think -- giving her a nickname.

Heh, I do that often. Give people new names or better names.

Another Anne who gets called Annie or Anna by a surprising number of strangers (ie receptionist at the doctor’s office)

Back in the day, Joan was pronounced "Jone" and the Jo-an was spelled Joann or Joanne or JoAnne or JoAnn.

I used to know a Jo-An, pronounced like Joann!

The E in Anne is not silent, it’s more of a soft E. If you want no E you have to spell it Ann. They are not the same.

I’m Rebekah and have never, ever been nicknamed but some people assume that I must go by a shorter form and call me Becky. I always correct them in emails and or in person. You should do the same for Anne, OP.

My name is Sarah and over the phone people think my name is Farah.

My middle name is Anne. No one has ever said it wrong. I am glad my mom gave me the classy French spelling and I bet your daughter will be happy too despite having to deal with dummies. Where do you live?

In certain countries, it is actually pronounced Annie.

And in English, Annie is a very common nickname.

Plenty of people default to common nicknames. It has nothing to do with being unable to read.
