I like Molly and Phoebe.
I can imagine them as sisters (traditional and beautiful names).

Little Jenny Wren - not dated at all, more timeless

Out of these I really like Lucy.

I love Molly and Sophie.

Show quote history

'Molly and Sophie' is great!

'Molly and Elizabeth' also sounds lovely, and Elizabeth is really great for diminutives if that's something you like

I think Jennifer is a really nice name. You can find someone you don't like with any name if you look hard enough.
Names with vibes like Molly:
Amy
Lucy
Charlotte
Maisie
Sophie
Poppy
Megan
Evie
Lola
Daisy

The Molly I know has a sister called Hannah.

Favourite of your list is Chloe. It's still a popular name these days (ranked 65) so it's not dated, a similar popularity to Molly. I don't like Jenny as a standalone option, would have to be a nickname for a longer name.

How about:
Gemma
Annie
Maisie
Jane
Ashley
Nicole
Georgia

timoteigirl · 23/02/2025 11:22

Do you want the same or different initial? Matilda
I'm thinking of Raggedy Ann or Little house in the prairie type of names although know sisters Molly and Ellie.
Kate or Katie or Katy or Kitty
Phoebe I like but does it go with Molly? does it need to go with Molly?
Chloe nope

Others ending with similar sound: Wendy, Amy, Hattie, Annie, Daisy, Betsy
Emma
Iris
Harriet
Laura
Fern
Clara
Beth

Of those, I think Kate fits best with Molly - and although it’s a nickname for Katherine, it seems to be used more and more often in its own right. Jenny is very pretty- but it is more stereotypically seen on 40’s plus and almost always short for Jennifer (so people will likely assume that if it matters).

Of the others I personally like Matilda best - but not sure about the repeated initial (plus Molly and Tilly might be a bit sing songy? - most Matilda’s seem to get shortened).

Jenny was my favourite but then someone on mumsnet told me it sounded like a 50 yearold social worker with greasy hair and it made me sad haha

Ha ha - it is a name associated with a different generation but I know a cool 20 year old with the name so it feels more timeless than dated to me! I’m sure as soon as people met a little Jenny their associations would change too and the name would sound sound so fresh and classy on a little one.

Goandygo · 23/02/2025 09:33

I love Matilda and think Molly and Tilly is lovely.
