Need help with name for Charlotte's younger sister

Looking for a name for our newborn baby girl. Her sister's name is Charlotte, and need help to figure out a matching name that goes with Charlotte. Here are the names on my list. I would love to hear your opinions about them, or any suggestion or other ideas that you might have!

Evelyn
Emily
Annabelle (love it, sounds beautiful, but somewhat concerned about the recent horror movie series with the same name)
Isabelle (would be my alternative to Annabelle)
Chloe (also begins with a 'C')
Vivian/Vivien/Vivienne/Lillian
Emma


Thank you all!

Emily and Emma are lovely. I suggest Antonia and Eleanor or Elinor.

Before I read your ideas I thought of Emily!

Emily is timeless and so pretty. Works perfectly with Charlotte!

Elizabeth, Anna and Helena are my suggestions.

Evelyn
Emily - Like this. classic and understated.
Annabelle - Not bad
Isabelle - Fine, but very common
Chloe - Not in the same vein as Charlottle, and a bit matchy for my taste
Vivian/Vivien/Vivienne - Like this too
Lillian - Less of a fan of this
Emma - Fine.

I think my favourites are Emily and Vivian.

I'd also suggest Penelope, Eleanor, Elizabeth or Sophie.

Evelyn - dislike. Eve is nice but Evelyn and Eva aren't.
Emily - ok, goes well with Charlotte
Annabelle (love it, sounds beautiful, but somewhat concerned about the recent horror movie series with the same name) - Annabel is nicer
Isabelle (would be my alternative to Annabelle) - Isabel is nicer
Chloe (also begins with a 'C') - overused and seems dated
Vivian/Vivien/Vivienne/Lillian - Viv or Lil? Neither
Emma - lovely

I'm a Charlotte, and my sisters are called Victoria (NN Tia) and Megan if that helps.

Of your list, I love Emma and Annabelle. I've not heard of the movie series you mentioned, though if it does bother you, Isabelle is lovely too.

my mind is Emily.

Have you made a decision then @tyros2 or shortened down the shortlist? Don’t leave us hanging 🤣

Sorry not yet :( it is so hard to name second baby... but now leaning to Annabelle and Emily I guess.

So I think we’ll go with Charlotte and Emily pair, they are classic and sound sweet together. Although I do love Annabelle, it’ll be a name I love but never used, because my wife is not a fan... Thank you everyone!

Annabel or Isabelle (or Eliza). Not keen on Vivian, I don't think it goes with Charlotte.

My dd is called Emily and I’m struggling with a girls option for our second but Charlotte definitely keeps coming to the tip of my tongue

So I’m like the other way around XD My first daughter’s name is Charlotte, and I’m leaning to Emily for the second! I think this is a great pair!

Emily is gorgeous. You could go for Emily Annabelle if you really like Annabelle - have it as a middle name.

I have a Charlotte, her sisters are Leah and Megan.

I love Emma from your list (we almost used it for our Charlotte) and I think Jessica goes well with the name too.
