In 2018, 78 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Annie who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 315th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.
Annie is also highly used in France and the Netherlands.In the case for France, the first French Annie that I can find online was that of Annie Berthier, born in 1769. In the 19th century, it came to be more often used but it was still rare.
It wasn't until the 1920s and 30s that Annie began to rise in popularity. Eventually, it overtook its normal form Anne and reached the top 10 in 1943, with the most popular year, by birth count, in 1947 where 11, 492 girls were named Annie, which is almost double the 5, 784 girls named Anne in that same year.
Annie left the top 10 in 1956 and left the top 200 in 1981. Today, it's rarely given in France.In the case for the Netherlands, it began to be used in the middle and latter part of the 19th century. According to Meertens, the name was in the top 100 from 1918 to 1952 but began to drop in popularity after the late 1940s. In 2014, only 11 Annie's were born in the Netherlands according to Sociale Verzekeringsbank. [noted -ed]
