Help name Georgina’s sister!

Hello everyone,
I have been searching through all the baby books and name lists online and still can’t seem to find one I like as much as Georgina. I was hoping you would be able to provide some ideas.
Georgina goes by Ginny and so the name needs to match both her full name and also the shorter form she gets called day to day.
Thank you!!

Elizabeth, with nickname Betty

(I don't see why it's a problem that it's her sister's middle name).

Henrietta (Hetty or Etta), Francesca (Frankie) and Helen (Nelly or Lennie), sprang to mind for me!

If you like Penelope, Veronica (Ronnie) has a similar vibe to me.

Almostwelsh · 25/06/2025 20:31

Henrietta. Hetty for short.

HighburyHope · 25/06/2025 20:26

I love Eloise from your shortlist! If not Juliet, do you like Harriet?

Sunshine6195102 · 25/06/2025 20:21

Lucinda (nn Lucy)
Amelie (Mimi/Millie)

Thank you so so much everyone. All your suggestions are along the right lines. I think our shortlist is currently the following:
Eloise
Penelope
Beatrice / Beatrix
Eleanor
and I like Juliet but think that is two many J sounds when I say the girls full names together 😂.

I have a Georgina, a Harriet and a Beatrice (only realising the GBH abbreviation much, much later 😂).

I also like other 'classic' names like Charlotte, Elizabeth and Catherine.
