A first name to go with Susannah

We're pretty settled on a boys' name but still thinking about a girls'. We've decided to have Susannah as a middle name to honour a family member so looking for a name that pairs with it. Toying with Beatrice, largely because we're both longtime Much Ado fans, but just somehow not completely sold yet.

In general I prefer classic or timeless names and not much into "creative" spellings or trendy names. Also, like Granny Weatherwax, I tend to feel that you shouldn't give yourself a name you can't scrub the floor (or muck out the chickens, or drill a hole, or whatever) in. Irish and Scots heritage on both sides though so names from that pool are up for grabs.

Any ideas?

Roisin works better than Beatrice I think.

What about an alliterative combo

Sophie Susannah
Sara Susannah
Stella

I love Roisin. I know two. One I went to school with and a teenager.

Pronounced ROW-sheen.

Roisin and Susannah are two of my favourite names. Both gorgeous and reasonably unusual too.
