Too cutesy?

DD will be Anastasia Catherine.  We're toying with the nn of Anna Cate and probably won't decide until she's here and we meet her.

I think Anna Cate is super cute and sweet.  She'd obviously also have the option of Anastasia and our other nn option that we like is Annie.  So if she totally hates it and thinks that it's too cutesy as an adult she has those options as well. 

If it were your nickname would you think it's too cutesy for an adult?  Has anyone felt that way about their nickname and ditched it?

If anything, Annie is too cutesy.  I like Anna Cate and she could easily go by Anna when she's older if she doesn't like to use both.

I love that NN! I don't think it is too cutesy at all.

I don't think it's too cutesy. Both Anna and Cate are classic names. Plus, she'll always have the option of going by her longer name.

All of this.  I much prefer Anna Cate to Annie.  Annie is too cutesy for me.

Not too cutesy.  Annie Katie would make me throw up in my mouth.  Anna Cate is fine.

I really like Anna Cate, if she doesn't like it, she can always drop the Cate.

I like Anna, Anna Cate and Annie - I don't think any of them are too cutesy at all.

Annie Catie would be too cutesy, IMO.

IMO I think double names always sound grown up.  I should clarify double names using CLASSIC names, not Brixton Kinsley.

I think Anna Cate is beautiful.  I might do Ana Cate, instead though.  Just because of the spelling of Anastasia.  She could always go by just Anna/Ana later on.

Anna isn't cutesy at all! I think it's very sophisticated and classic.

I like Anna MUCH better than Annie. Annie is too "The sun will come out tomorrow" for me.
