Quotations

  • ca. 1700 ?William Douglas: Annie Laurie:
    Maxwelton braes are bonnie
    Where early fa's the dew;
    An' it's there that Annie Laurie
    Gi'ed me her promise true.
  • 1830 Mary Russell Mitford: Our Village: Fourth Series: Cottage Names:
    I never thought of the most brilliant and elegant women in England quite so charming as she really is, till I heard her call her younger sister "Annie". It seemed to remove at once the almost repellent quality which belongs to extreme polish, - gave a genial warmth to her brightness, became her like a smile. - - - If she had called her sister Anna-Maria according to the register, I should have admired, and feared, and shunned her to my dying day.
  • 1947 Hilda Lawrence: Death of a Doll: pages 39-40:
    "I want you to stop calling yourself by that silly name, Annie," Mrs. Marshall-Gill said clearly. "It's inappropriate and ridiculous and I don't like it. It may even be dishonest, I don't know. At any rate, you're to stop it at once. I looked up your registration, and your name is Annie, a solid, Christian name. You'll do well to abide by it."
    "I don't like Annie," Jewel said.
    "It suits your face," Mrs. Marshall-Gill said. A titter ran around the listening room.
