Any suggestions for a sister for Jennifer?

Im really struggling to think of a name for dd2. I'd like something similar to dd1, Jennifer, which I liked because it was quite traditional, but not too common at the moment, and goes with Scottish surname.

Appreciate any ideas, as we can't think of any names and time is running out!

I'm a Jennifer - my sister is Gillian (so both have 'j' sound and three syllables). Our maiden name isn't Scottish but coincidentally we both ended up with very Scottish surnames on marriage, and I think names that end in an 'r' or 'n' run quite nicely into Mac.../Mc...

I like:
Jennifer and Fiona
Jennifer and Caroline
Jennifer and Josephine

They all fit the traditional yet currently underused criteria.

I think Caroline is my favourite, I love this name.

Maybe not quite your criteria, but could I also suggest:
Jennifer and Claudia?

I just love Claudia.

Susannah has a similar feel to Jennifer - both classic but underused. Plus I love the nicknames Susie or Annie.

Ruth! I'm a Jennifer and that's my middle name, I think they go well. My maiden name was a Scottish one too.
