Comments for the name Annelie

This is such a cute name! I love it! The American pronunciation is Anna-LEE, but I think in Germany it's pronounced Ehn-elI.

Actually, the German pronuncation would be more like 'Anneh-lia'.

I think a German pronunciation of Annelie is Ahn-neh-lee, isn't it? It's a nice name.

My sister is called Annelieke, -ke being a common Dutch diminutive ending. The pronunciation Ahn-nEH-lEE sounds about right. In my family the name's been composed of Anne & lieke (Elizabeth) though, not Annelie & -ke.

German pronunciation is indeed AHN-neh-lee. [noted -ed]

I love the name & pronunciation, but I really like tbird's Ehn-el.

I met someone with this name for the first time this year, and I loved it as soon as I heard it. At first I thought it was pronounced Anne Lee, but once I heard the correct pronunciation, which is Anna Lee, I thought it was beautiful. I would definitely consider naming my daughter Annelie. I also like the fact that it’s not very popular or overused.

In Sweden this is just a more modern spelling of Anneli, both originally petforms of names like Anne-Louise, but used as a name since the late 1800's. Why are the two spellings listed here as different names?

This is such a sweet and beautiful name, I am falling in love with this name!

To clear up pronunciation issues: In Germany, the name could probably be pronounced Anna-li OR Ann-ay-lyeh. The first pronunciation would be a shortening of Anneliese, and the second is the phonetic pronunciation, similar to the name Ottilie, which is pronounced "Ott-ee-lyeh."

Director Juraj Herz and actress Terezie Pokorná have a daughter Annelie Herz.

That is my nickname, my real name is Ena, and everybody calls me Anneli. I pronounce it like a combination of Annie and Lee (Annielee).

Analie is another way to spell it, but ANNELIE is beautiful!

This is such a beautiful name! It is also very unique! I would totally use this name if I had a daughter, I just hope that it does not become too popular, but I would not be surprised if it did! (:
