Husband likes Rosie but I don't know if the 'ie' sounds at the end are odd - Nancy and Rosie...

What's the consensus?

Surely Nancy's sister is called Peggy?

Some brilliant suggestions, guys! Particularly like Margot, Martha, Rose and Violet!

Nancy is really cool and vintage and kind of sassy! I think Rosie is sweet but nothing special, a bit cutesy. I think Nancy needs a sibling with an equally cool, vintage sounding name*

Exactly! So pleased you get it, haha

I think Rosie is a sweet name, but Prefer Rosa with Nancy.

Love Clara as other poster suggested.

Oohh Clara is great with Nancy too!

Notso · 08/10/2018 12:03

What about Rose rather than Rosie?

Clara

Or even just Nancy and Rose/Rosa. But RosIE is just not as cool as Nancy.

Nancy is really cool and vintage and kind of sassy! I think Rosie is sweet but nothing special, a bit cutesy. I think Nancy needs a sibling with an equally cool, vintage sounding name. I think:
Nancy and Margot
Nancy and Mabel
Nancy and Eliza
Nancy and Iris
all sound like great combinations - I imagine them as the mischievous sisters in an early twentieth century novel or something!

I don’t think it’s odd at all. I’m a Lucy and have a sister Josie and it’s never been mentioned that the names are ‘matchy’ at all.
