Lily and Annabeth as sibilings?

[Avonlea102]

We are expecting a baby girl! We already have a Lily and my husband and i are thinking of naming our baby daughter Annabeth! We aren't sure about it though, so we need some opinions on it. What do you guys think?

Congratulations, Yes that’s a nice combo

Not sure about it tbh. Sounds a bit lispy.

I like it, lovely but not a common name.

I only know Annabeth from Percy Jackson! Works fine I would say.

Hmmmm Annabeth sounds a bit...oh God, what's the word..? Juvenile? Maybe a bit country and western? Also sounds like Anna-Beth, so people might assume double barrelled. It's also nearly Annabel but not, so not as unusual a sound as you might think, as she will get lumped in with the Annabels!

Maybe:

Emmeline
Clementine
Penelope
Adeline
Elizabeth (Betsy / Beth)
Elspeth
Rosanna

I'd go Anna or Beth with Lily. Or have one as a middle name.

I don't like it. Annabelle is nice.

I like it. Robert Webb has a younger half-sister called Annabeth....Random fact!

Love Lily. Annabeth doesn’t really “go” with it, if that matters to you. To me, Lily is classic but modern, whereas Annabeth is one of those double barrelled names that are quite hard to say. I do quite like Beth or Anna by themselves though.

I knew a Hanabeth, which I prefer. But I like it. Go for it x

Anna or Beth with Lily. Or what about Marianne?

Gorgeous name, well known but uncommon. Perfect. I really love it

No from me, Anna or Beth would go. Anna middle name Beth perhaps so you can call her it all as a pet name?

I like Annabeth

Although if you are bothered about matching I think Annabel goes better with Lily as Lily is such a girly name.

I think I prefer it as Anna Beth, two separate first names. A bit American maybe but gives options for the future

Sounds really American.
Not keen sorry.

I think it's a nice combo 🙂

Name Sounding American isn’t in itself a bad thing

Not keen on annabeth

Annabel is nicer than Annabeth. Lily and Anna are good.
Annabeth is a bit much. Call her Anna Beth instead and use Annabeth as a nn.

Call her Anna Beth instead and use Annabeth as a nn
That makes no sense same name with a space? AnnaBeth isn’t nn for Anna Beth it’s the same name with a pause

Annabeth does sound very American to me as pp mentioned (which is obviously fine if you are in the US!). Since Lily is popular but fairly classic sounding, I'd just use the similar style Anna instead (Anna Elizabeth?). Lily and Anna make a lovely sibset.

Would you say a name sounds too Scottish/Italian/French as a criticism.

I think it's fine with Lily. I also don't think it matters that much about siblings matching. If my sibling's name didn't particularly match mine it wouldn't affect my life at all now we're adults and I can't imagine it mattering much as children either. If you love it, use it!

I like it.
