Elizabeth, Rose or Louisa.
Which do you think goes best with Anna?

I’d go for rose but Elizabeth is great too!

All lovely names. I'd go with Louisa, then Elizabeth then Rose in order of preference, but any one of the three would be a good choice.

Ah, I see. In that case, Rose. I'd agree another -a ending is problematic as is four syllables. Something short with a consonant at the beginning works, like Rose, Grace, Jess, Tess, Beth, Hope flows better or as a PP suggested, Alice. Or Lois.

Anna and Rose
Anna and Grace
Anna and Jess
Anna and Tess
Anna and Faith
Anna and Beth
Anna and Hope
Anna and Wren
Anna and Clare
Anna and Ruth
Anna and Raine

Anna and Alice
Anna and Lois
Anna and Seren
Anna and Catherine
Anna and Hazel
Anna and Mary
Anna and Frances
Anna and Beatrice
Anna and Helen
Anna and Imogen
Anna and Mabel
Anna and Isobel

Grace
Emily
Ruth
Catherine
Claire
Rose
Juliet

Rose

The other two are too much compared to Anna. Anna needs a sister like Kaye, Beth, Laura, Tara, Faith, nothing with 3 syllables

Alice?

Family have suggested Eloise, Elodie, Jane and Lucy but we've vetoed all. I have a soft spot for Jane but it's not getting past DH.

Would you or DH like Eloise?

They don't need to 'go'. Just pick your favourite.

@fourelementary I have had the same thought. I really like Louise but DH less keen.

Elizabeth, with or without one of its many shortenings. Classic and beautiful.
Louisa is lovely too, but personally I wouldn't do "a" endings for both siblings.
Congratulations 😊

Rose or Elizabeth!

IcedupTulip · 30/10/2023 14:27

Not Elizabeth. Anna and Elizabeth seem a mouthful together. Others are lovely.

fourelementary · 30/10/2023 14:27

Rose or Elizabeth. Louisa is too “ah” at the end. Like Anna
