Any suggestions for a sister for Jennifer?

Im really struggling to think of a name for dd2. I'd like something similar to dd1, Jennifer, which I liked because it was quite traditional, but not too common at the moment, and goes with Scottish surname.

Appreciate any ideas, as we can't think of any names and time is running out!

I'm a Jennifer - my sister is Gillian (so both have 'j' sound and three syllables). Our maiden name isn't Scottish but coincidentally we both ended up with very Scottish surnames on marriage, and I think names that end in an 'r' or 'n' run quite nicely into Mac.../Mc...

I know a Jennifer whose sister is Lucy. I'm a Jennifer and my sister is Bridget.

I really like the name Peggy. I think it goes well with Jennifer.

Some lovely suggestions.
I'm now trying to remember the whole line from the beautiful south song in case I eventually have 5 dds :)

My first thought was Jennifer and Fiona. Gorgeous sibset.
How about Hazel, Patricia, Rosalind (Jenny and Lindy - so cute!), Heather, Zoe, Lisbeth, Jean/Joan/Jane, Rebecca, Helen, Marianne, Kate, Yvonne, Elise, Shirley , Maureen, Morag, Penelope, Ailsa, Gwen.
