I think Mabel works best with Ivy. Annie and Penny are nice but don't feel as full and complete as Ivy and Mabel; they sound as though they're short for something.

Penny will be the most popular choice on here as so many posters seemed obsessed with the name Penelope. Personally I can't stand Penelope/Penny.

Mabel & Annie both work with Ivy. Ivy & Penny doesn't roll off the tongue as well; however it's your choice & you need to choose what feel right for your daughter

Too bad you weren't using Kathleen as first name, it's so gorgeous ; Kitty for short. Kathleen Rose i.e. kitty Rose
Rose Kathleen is gorgeous.
Mabel is an old lady's name. Annie is very blah as a teenager.
The best out of the lot is Penny short for Penelope.

I like Annie. I loved the Alfie books when I was little and as another poster has mentioned there is an Annie Rose in that. My sister has banned me from calling my baby Annie if she is a girl because she wants to use that name!
I like Penny but I think it would be better to call her Penelope and then you can shorten it if you want to.

Prefer Annie

Pemba · 21/12/2016 13:17

Annie Rose is lovely. Penny is OK, but not that keen personally.
Mabel is OK, but I can never get over the old lady vibe in my head, as my late grandma was Mabel (she would have been over 100 now).

Joonie - I really really love Edie but a close friend has one already.

Jooni · 21/12/2016 12:00

Annie is very cute, though I do prefer it as a nickname.

How about Kitty, Polly, Marnie, Sadie, Edie, Nell?

lovelearning · 21/12/2016 11:20

Anne, nickname Annie.

Nonameyet1 · 21/12/2016 11:15

Penny

Loyly · 21/12/2016 10:55

Mabel

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/12/2016 10:54

Mabel

Don't like Penny.

Coey2016 · 21/12/2016 10:52

I like Annie best but think Mabel sounds great with Ivy. Don't like Penny very much.

Scattymere · 21/12/2016 10:21

Say my daughters are called... "Ivy and Annie... or Annie and Ivy" just doesn't sound right when said together.
I like Mabel as similar feel to Ivy while completely different pronunciation.

Idontknow123 · 21/12/2016 00:37

Love Ivy and Mabel!

BeastofChristmasIsland · 20/12/2016 22:33

Annie, although I prefer Anna. Not keen on Penny or Mabel, although the latter is particularly dreary (sorry!).

toptomatoes · 20/12/2016 22:29

Annie

marmitecrumpets · 20/12/2016 22:27

Mabel

SausageSoda · 20/12/2016 22:26
  1. Annie
  2. Mabel
  1. Penny (don't like and don't think it goes well with Ivy).
aforestgrewandgrew · 20/12/2016 22:24

Annie

crumpetsforteaa · 20/12/2016 22:23

Annie for me.

Though Annie Rose is becoming v popular.

I think Ivy and Mabel, although I adore both names, may be too similar- prefer Annie or perhaps similar e.g. Harriet.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/12/2016 21:22

Mabel

Pluto30 · 20/12/2016 20:13

Annie. Smile

I only like Penny as a nickname for Penelope, and I'm not a fan of Mabel.
