It sounds cuckoo. The common name for birds of the genus Crotophagia, one of the cuckoo genera, is "ani". "Ani" is also the adjectival form of "anus". Neither meaning is especially flattering.
You can either pronounce just like the name "Annie," or with that sort of "Boston a," which would make it more like the "a" in the sentence, "Pahk the cah in the yahd."
Btw, Ani DeFranco is a very well known American singer and songwriter.

"Annie" is German. Short form of "Anneliese".
From the spelling I would expect it to be pronounced 'AH - nee'.
It's a pretty enough name, but anyone with that name will have to expect to have people ask ALL HER LIFE "Do you mean 'Annie'?"
"Ani" is either :
- a Bulgarian, Georgian, Romanian and Spanish diminutive of the given name "Ana", a form of "Anna".
- an Armenian given name, from the name of an old Armenian city.
Annie................
Very inventive.
