About Fannie
It's hard to believe, via a 21st-century sensibility, that Fannie was ever a Top 50 name. But Fannie was even more popular than Fanny in its late 19th-century heyday, and stuck around much longer, staying on the Top 1000 until the 1960s while Fanny fell off in 1940. Today, however, Fannie sounds antiquated at best, and rude at worst.
Much of Fannie's usage today can be accounted for in Amish communities, among whom Fannie is a classic choice.
Fannie is also given to boys.
Pronounced FAN-ee.
As of October 2026, Fannie ranked #3686 in US births in 1946 SSA, peaked at #632 in 1899.
