I love Eliza, that would be my choice. Vivian is nice too. Not keen on Diane, sorry seems a bit stuffy to me.
Maybe Rosalie, Lydia, Lillian or Florence?

SageRosemary · 09/06/2021 19:33

Rosemary, clearly!

I like Eliza but would give this sister her own initial, not another E.

Vivian is quite similar sounding to Evelyn, you could mix them up.

I like Diane, prefer Diana

Greenmarmalade · 09/06/2021 19:35

Diane

Also maybe
Grace

Dinah

I like Eliza best although Diane is ok.

Vivian is too similar sounding I think.

What about:
Abigail
Beatrix
Kathryn
Alexandra
Cassandra
Harriet

sonicshoegazes · 09/06/2021 19:44

Love Eliza and Vivian.

I also think Ruby goes well with Evelyn.

And Daphne.

TatianaBis · 09/06/2021 19:46

Vivian is an 80s manicurist.
Diane is a 70s hairdresser. Diana if you must.

Which leaves Eliza which is a bit too similar to Evelyn for my taste.

LizziesTwin · 09/06/2021 19:47

Elsie & Grace (grandma was one of those three).

Love Diana, but Diane is a bit bargain basement (unless you’re French) I like Eliza, especially if a nn for Elizabeth, but two Es might be a pain. Vivian is ok - I think Vivien is the usual female spelling.

Constance or connie

Eliza

ArchbishopOfBanterbury · 09/06/2021 20:39

Diana for me.

I love Eliza too, but you already have a Miss E Gsurname

Divebar2021 · 09/06/2021 20:42

I like Vivienne with that spelling. Also

Lillian
Sylvie
Daphne
Pearl
Cicely
Delphine
Esme
Ruby
Scarlett
I want to say Betty but fear people with laugh 😂

SnottyLottie · 09/06/2021 20:45

I really love the name Eliza! But if you go for two ‘E’ names, will you follow the ‘E’ initial trend if you have a third?

Vivian is nice but I personally prefer Vivienne. I’m not sure it works well with Evelyn thought, they’re both very ‘v’ heavy and end with a ‘n’ so they sound a little too matchy, rather than complimentary.

Diane sounds a bit dated to me. I prefer Diana.

millymae · 09/06/2021 20:46

I thought it was Vivienne for a girl and Vivian for a boy. Spelt the famine way I like it better than either Diane or Eliza.

CovidCorvid · 09/06/2021 20:49

Harriet

mathanxiety · 09/06/2021 21:17

Eliza - nice, but wrong century for a sister named Evelyn.
Vivian - a filler middle name, very bland, and too close to Evelyn in sound.
Diane - too dated.

I would suggest
Elspeth
Vera
Dionne

Or
Hazel
Tamsin
Sadie
Edith
Penelope
Alice
Lucy
Ivy
Louise
Zoe
Laurel
Isobel
Juliet
Violet
Flora
Nancy
