Wow when I saw the title without reading the OP, Sadie was the first one that came to mind!

Ds1 is an Alexander and if DS2 had been a girl he'd have been a Nina (if I could have persuaded DH...) or an Elisabeth (similar to Alexander in that there are a lot of different ways to shorten so name can develop so suit lo as they grow up)

I really like Catherine (possible nn Kate).

Possibly because of Alexander the Great and Catherine the Great, I don't know, they just go together in my head

My names Lauren and my mum wanted to call me Alex haha.

I think another long name would be nice; you could go for another Greek name or something more classic/Biblical. Hannah is lovely. I like Annabelle but prefer Anastasia. I also prefer Laura (or Lyra or Lara) to Lauren.

Some ideas:

Alexander and Anastasia
Alexander and Beatrice
Alexander and Carina
Alexander and Florence
Alexander and Thea
Alexander and Emilia
Alexander and Helena

Threeandabit · 08/08/2017 21:39

Alexander and Corinne

Jayneisagirlsname · 08/08/2017 20:15

Alex and Annabelle is a bit of a mouthful I think.
I know siblings Alex and Louisa

Ceebs85 · 08/08/2017 14:18

Sadie and Hannah are nice. I dislike Annabelle

How about:
Catherine
Alannah
Georgia
Lydia

Threeandabit · 08/08/2017 13:39

Other names you might like: -

Amy
Naomi
Dulcie

Eugenie
Natalie
Chloé
Esmé

Louise
Golda
Renée
Danielle

Love Sadie and Hannah 😊

Hannah is underused nowadays, but it's timeless and has a lovely meaning.

BlueChampagne · 08/08/2017 13:04

Juliet

Bubblesoup · 08/08/2017 10:06

I really dislike Annabelle, sorry! Love Hannah though. And i love your son's name!

What about. ...

Lucinda
Laura
Marissa
Tabitha
Zara

MrsJoyOdell · 08/08/2017 10:04

I have an Alexander and Ella (pre George sodding Clooney!). I also know another parent who has that coupling.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 08/08/2017 10:03

I think Alex and Lauren go well together, but I prefer Laura.
