    In the novelisation and most EU, Anakin's short name is spelled "Annie". But in the subtitle of Wald's (Anakin's Rodian friend) line, he says "You're such a joker, Ani."

    Which do you prefer? I like Ani more, cos it looks less like a girl's name.

    I prefer Anakin to either one. I don't think it really matters...I guess its like there being a "Brittany" and a "Brittney"

    Since it's not an OFFICIAL name anyway, you can spell it how you like, I'd think.

    But I prefer Ani.

    Yeah, "Ani" looks better; closer to the full name.

    Well in a lot of the fanfic people use Ani over Annie. But really I don't care because his really name is Anakin. :)

    Either way it sounds like a girl name.






    Ani is better.

    Bet your bottom dollar on Tomorrow.

    I just love Broadway, they have such stellar shows.
    I loved Cats and I could go on for hours about Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. I like how Tim Rice worked with Sir Elton John on a few projects.

    I think it would be fitting if the older bald Anakin were Daddy Warbucks.

    Ani..definately Ani.. besides not sounding like a girls name, its just more Swsy some how, though personally I prefer Anakin, with only a few exceptions the only people who call him Ani are his mother, the people on Tatooine (friends) and later Padme.

    Ani.

    But if it was "Annie," then no wonder the poor kid eventually turns to the Dark Side and spends the rest of his life behind a mask! :p

    :) Good point there DarthShona! What better way to get revenge on people for calling you a girls name than to become a Sith Lord?

    I prefer Ani over Annie (Annie makes me want to barf. He is a boy!) But I definately like Anakin the best!
