What would you name the little sister of...

[CheerfulYank]

Samuel and Margaret, called Sam and Maggie?

A boy will be William called Will. But I have absolutely no idea for a girl. Help!

I actually really like Harriet, with Hattie as a nn. But Hattie and Maggie sound a bit twee. Or too similar, or something!

Like

Penny (Penelope)
Wendy
Lucy

"Elizabeth and Anna are front runners but I'm not sure on any of the nicknames for Elizabeth."

You know you could have Elsa as a nn for Elizabeth, right?
Elsa and Anna, where have I heard that combo before? ...

Holly
Jenny
Penny
Susie
April
Lily

What about Savannah shortened to Anna or Savi

Watching mistresses atm

Vivian
Ella
Clara
Lillian
Elise

What about Hettie as a NN for Harriet? It's less similar, but it may sound twee to American ears. (Twee is usually deemed fine in the UK, so hard for me to judge.)

What about Antigone, NN Tiggie? Or too similar to Maggie?

Sylvia, NN Sylvie? (I know Sylvie is a name in its own right, but I love Sylvia.)

Jennifer

If you like Anna you could use that as nickname with full name of Annaliese

Genevive
Vivienne
Clara
Violet
Ruby
Nancy
Juliette
Susannah
They all sound lovely with other dc names.

Jess or Harriet (nn Harry)

How rude to call a name "revolting"! For what it's worth I think Abigail is very nice.

My suggestion was going to be Josephine / Josie but I see someone else already mentioned.

I think Rosie and Maggie belong in the same bracket. I love them both.

Oops. I missed that Rosie was out

Josephine nn josie

Jemima with nn Jemma

Phyllis with no nn

Phillippa with nick name Pip or Pippy

Mary
Annie
Juliet with nn jules
Theodora
Edna
Agnes
Constance
Norah
Sylvie

I like maggie and sylvie best

Or maggie and Norah

Have you thought of Eleanor with the nn Nell instead of the usual Ellie? I think Maggie and Nell sound good together.

Yes nell with full name Elinor goes well

I think you should definitely revisit Frances. Sam, Maggie and Frankie sound super together.

love Eleanor nn Nell and Francesca, nn Frankie. And another push for Flora! Think these three would go so well with your other names.

Think these are a bit more interesting that Elizabeth and Anna - classic, yes, but also a bit dull and "safe" I think.

I do like Sylvie a lot but I want the DC to have their own initial. So Susannah is out too, though I do love it.

I'm not sure about Annie because DH is Andy and I feel like I'd be saying "no, not you" a lot. :o

I love Eleanor and Elinor but our niece is Ella so I'd like to avoid it.

DH likes Isabelle, which is SO popular around here. Most are Isabella called Bella, I suppose. I prefer Isobel with Izzy as a nn.

I still like Frances but not Frankie.

Sigh.

I know a Maggie and Laura. Think that's a lovely combination. Laura is a much underused name I think.

What about Tessa?

Alberta nn Bea

What about Franny instead of Frankie? Or is that too close to Fanny for you?
