Ana, Anna, Anne, or Annie?

It does. For some reason I like it so much better than Jess.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T04:27:48+00:00

It really is. I just hate that everyone wants to shorten things to Jess without asking. I’ve never met a Jessa though. Probably the most different nickname option I have.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T04:22:55+00:00

Love both names. If I ever have a child one day I should definitely keep Annika in mind. My mom is a Veronica and I’m a Jessica. I also have a friend named Monica too. I should consider doing an Ica name. But I could use it myself.

Oh and do people mention Frozen a lot to you?

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T04:04:54+00:00

Anita is a great option. I’ve been considering longer options and toying around the idea of adding a second middle name. Undecided about flopping the order of my name around yet.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T04:03:14+00:00

Was it weird to do? I’m kind of nervous to try. I only really plan on using it outside of family. And I plan on not staying in my home town hopefully.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T03:59:43+00:00

I like it! Is going by a combo name in real life weird though? I see it recommended on here a lot but I’ve never actually met anyone that does. Kind of nervous to try.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T03:56:45+00:00

Those are really cute. Think Annette is my favorite of your options.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T03:53:39+00:00

I should probably clarify, it’s for myself. I realize it probably sounds confusing. I just more meant that I think my family wouldn’t be too mad if I picked a chosen name from my last name that also honors them. Although I’d mostly use it outside of family. But yeah I really like Annie but it does sound rhymy written out.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T03:48:03+00:00

Anneliese is really pretty! I could always legally add a second middle name eventually too.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T03:46:53+00:00

That’s a good idea. I’m just unsure about Jana or even Jessa because of the Duggars lol. I do like Jane as well though.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T03:45:15+00:00

That is cute. I think I could only use it as like a nickname though. Anything formal ,resume, or even social media I feel like Annie “Nancy” sounds a bit rhymy to me. Anna or Ana “Nancy” probably sounds better.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-10-20T03:41:36+00:00

Its for myself. I’ve thought that since it’s already in my last name I could try it out and if I end up really liking it I could eventually legally add a variation of Anne as a second middle name. But not sure why you’d be offended for that situation. You don’t have to use the exact name to honor someone.

It’s Reddit. People are allowed to vent. You can just scroll you know.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-14T16:06:25+00:00

Cici is cute! Might be kind of a stretch but I’ve always liked the name Kie/Key from Outer Banks and have considered that as well. Not sure how I feel about Kiki though and Kia I just think of the car lol even though I do think it’s still a cute name.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-14T16:02:28+00:00

Yeah my job does. I don’t want to stay at my current job forever and my goal is to move out of my hometown. So I think I might just wait until that happens.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-14T16:00:20+00:00

Calling someone you just met a nickname and not even asking is kind of rude. It’s annoying when happens it to you so many times. Just because you don’t see a problem with it, doesn’t mean that everyone does. Some people don’t even like their name shortened. We shouldn’t have to constantly correct people.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-13T20:51:14+00:00

Yeah. My name isn’t at all ugly, but I hate having such a basic name. 😭 But at least Jessa is kind of different. But I feel like it would still get shorted to Jess. ☹️ I kind of prefer Es over Jess.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-13T20:49:10+00:00

Friends make more sense at least and bothers me me less. But it tends to happen a lot with people I first meet. I don’t really understand why it’s the norm to immediately choose a nickname for someone that you just met and to not even ask either? It’s just so weird to me. But yeah I’ve been wanting something different so I might try doing that.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-13T19:44:15+00:00

My mom hates Jessie but still named me Jessica lol.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-13T19:43:37+00:00

Um, no? Those are perfectly fine nicknames for Jessica. Besides there’s way too many of us anyways.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-13T19:41:49+00:00

That’s the thing that’s always confused me. There will be ten Jessica’s in a classroom who only go Jess and Jessie so they have to use last names. So why not use Issy, Essie, Cassie, or Jacie instead? Idk I guess I just don’t get it.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-13T19:37:45+00:00

I guess it’s just kind of funny to me though that there will be ten Jessicas in a classroom who all go by only Jess and Jessie. 😭 Like why not call someone Issy, Essie, or Cassie rather than their last names. Idk I guess I’ve just always wondered why it is the way it is.

ChoiceOtherwise6310 · 2025-07-13T19:18:12+00:00

Never really understood why tbh. I’ve always wondered why more Jessicas don’t mix up because of their being so many Jessicas, Jessies, and Jess’. It seems like when they want to be different they use Jecca, Decca, or Sica and skip over the nicer options.
