My first thought was Amber for some reason.

  • Nicole with nickname Niki is kinda nice with Annie
  • Laura nn Laurie
  • June nn Junie
  • Julia nn Julie
  • Katherine nn Kate or Katie

Others without matchy nicknames:

  • June
  • Olivia
  • Pearl
  • Faye
  • Gail
  • Nina
  • Natalie
  • Dana
  • Delia
  • Eleanor

Not Rose or May! They are two of the most common middle names at the moment, v boring. Something with more personality would go best with Annie.

My mum is one of five sisters.

They have an Annie, a Patricia, a Maggie (Margaret), a Susan and a Shirley.

Not sure if that helps but it's what comes to mind when asked lol

@katy1213 Thanks 🤔 My spelling isn't always great. Nice to be corrected 😔

@Bol87 those are two names that Americans give to cows. I like the name Annabel and the name Daisy and at the risk of criticising American naming trends - they can give nicer names to cows than to children - but those two names together could bring to mind a herd of cows in an American's mind (if that matters?!) I would put something like Juliet, Meredith or Vivien with Annabel to bring out that elegant side of the name.

Annie and Audrey

SalmonOfKnowledge · 15/02/2020 13:18

What about Tara?

Bol87 · 15/02/2020 13:17

We have an Annie (Annabelle but she gets her nickname 99% of the time) .. sister is going to be Daisy Smile

Our other consideration was Amelia..

Amyrosebud · 14/02/2020 23:08

I love Bessie or Betsy as Annie's sister.

BrutusMcDogface · 14/02/2020 23:06

I know sisters called Annie and Lucy Smile

katy1213 · 14/02/2020 23:00

Whoops, I see it's a train!

katy1213 · 14/02/2020 22:59

Clarribel? Shouldn't that be Clarabelle? Anyway, whatever - it's a cow with a bell with round its neck. Kind of Vache qui Rit. Although as this is Mumsnet, I think Vachekiria would make a lovely girl's name.

Astronica · 14/02/2020 22:58

Both Rose and May are lovely and both would work beautifully as a sister for Annie. Rose is my favourite.

manicinsomniac · 14/02/2020 22:47

I would go for another shortish, two syllable name but not an ie ending or an A beginning. Oh, and not Bella or Elsa!

Clara, Cara, Carys, Cleo, Emma, Ella, Eva, Erin, Eden, Flora, Freya, Greta, Giselle, Hannah, Hazel, Honor, Isla, Iris, Kiera, Layla, Lyra, Lois, Leah, Laura, Mila, Mika, Mala, Martha, Maia, Nina, Nyah, Orla, Pippa, Rosa, Rhiann, Seren, Sara, Summer, Tara, Tessa, Thea, Willow, Zara

MyDcAreMarvel · 14/02/2020 21:42

Annie and Mabel sound cute together.

sockittome123 · 14/02/2020 21:40

Alternative names that have the same vibe (IMO):
Elizabeth (NN Betty, Lizzie, etc)
Phoebe
Felicity

Whatsyourflava · 14/02/2020 21:40

Rose would be prefect

sockittome123 · 14/02/2020 21:38

Rosie May would be a beautiful name

IHeartKingThistle · 14/02/2020 21:35

Should say Margaret, nn Maggie!

IHeartKingThistle · 14/02/2020 21:34

We have an Annie. Best name! Had a DS after but our girl names were Maggie, Rosa, Tess, Hazel. Smile
