Sibling for Maybelle and Sailor

We are due our 3rd baby and we are not sure on the sex and will most likely be waiting until the birth. We currently have a Maybelle and Sailor and like unusual names. For a girl we are looking at a similar concept of 2 names together but unfortunately most of them have "belle" or "bella" in them which we can obviously not have. Annalisa is a current favourite but we think it's really quite fussy and think 4 syllables might seem too much but that's a bit weird considering names like Isabella do not feel the same so maybe it is okay and we are overthinking that? We also love Roseanne! For a boy we have a few more ideas and like Archer and Sawyer, think we can't really have Sailor and Sawyer. I'm not a fan of them sharing initials. Other boy names on the list are Mason, Fletcher and Carter. Thank you

You think Annalisa is too fussy but Maybelle was fine?

Annemarie, Elizabeth, Rosemary?

Annalisa is pretty. Not sure about surnames as first names for boys.

Out of interest does Maybelle ever get called Mabel? I like both name.

I love the name Annalisa and don't think it's too fussy at all. I wouldn't go for another name ending in 'er' or 'or' like Sawyer, Archer, Carter etc, as it's too like Sailor in my opinion. I also think Mason is too similar to Maybelle. You seem to like trendy, american sounding names so maybe Blake for a boy?

I wouldn't worry about having names that go with siblings. No one ever meets me and wonders if my name goes with my sibling's name.

I think it's just what we like really!
