Comments and insights on the name Annette

Annette is my middle name.. ELAINE ANNETTE .. Hated it as a child but love it now so proud to tell people not many of us around

Annette is a beautiful, classic name that is wildly underused. It is nice that it is long, formal and elegant, but has great nickname options. Annie is one of my favorite nicknames of all time.

Personal experiences with the name Annette

I never thought about Annette for a baby until I met an adorable little girl named Annette. It sounded so pretty and feminine but also cute and spunky. It suddenly felt fresh and not dated and I loved it. I'd say it is due for a comeback!

My name is Annette also and I can not understand how when I introduce myself after talking a minute people always say "it was nice meeting you ANITA". I hate this. My name is ANNETTE, not Anita or Ann, or Annie. I love my name. Just saying.
