The last one is low rent and "kreative." It reeks of a 17 year old pregnant for the 2nd time.
You sound untraveled. It’s a common German and Nordic name. I am not an Annemarie or related to an Annemarie, but it was common enough when I taught abroad.

Nobody ever suggests smushing together or hyphenating boys names, so let’s not do it to girls. People will call your kid whatever you tell them to, and once she goes to kindergarten it’s her choice.
OP might not live in the south. Double first names are much less common in the rest of the country, especially for boys. When you hear Jim Bob or Billy Ray, you know their parents didn’t hail from Connecticut. Annmarie would help people who aren’t southern get her name right.
I mean, what’s the real price home you’re trying to solve? Is it the fear some stranger might call her just Ann initially? That’s easily corrected by saying, “It’s Ann Marie.”
Don’t saddle your poor kid with a kreative spell-ing if that’s your concern.

The only correct answer is two separate names, Anne Marie.
Signed,
A double name with an Anne Marie friend.

Well, I live in Montgomery County and know countless upper class folk from old money New England with double barreled names.
Mary Pat
Mary Kate
Mary Beth
Mary Claire
Ann Marie
Michael Ann
John Mark
John Peter
John Watson
Etc.
I have colleagues in DC with double-barreled names from all races, ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Nobody smushes stand alone names together or hyphenates them.

Yes!
Just be ready to tell everyone early on that she uses BOTH names.

Anne Marie.
My DIL's aunt is AnnMarie. So if you want Anne, I would put a space.
I was going to be Ana Maria, but mom stuck with Ana.

No need to smush them together. Nobody smushes Marybeth or Marykatherine together.
I have seen Marybeth.
+1 Marybeth is a name.
Just because someone goes rogue with a unique spelling doesn’t make it right.
Mary Elizabeth nn Mary Beth is proper.
Ann Marie is proper.
Annmarie looks silly.
AnneMarie looks aggressively stupid.
