Comments for the name Fannie

The name derives from the orphic god "Fannes", the creator of the world in the ancient Greek mythology. The word means "bright" in Greek.

Fannie Flagg is an American author and actress. She was born Patricia Neal but could not use that name since there was an actress named Patricia Neal. She is the author of the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, and wrote the screenplay for the film.

It's still unpleasant even if you spell it differently.

Yeah, don't name your child this.

Even if you spell it differently, it is still pronounced the same. I really don't like the name whether it is spelt Fanny (which is the worst), Fanni or Fannie.

For me "Fannie" sounds tender.
