A sister for Anna

[BigCheddar]

My daughter is called Anna. I love her name; to me, it is elegant, simple, classic, timeless and international. I'm now expecting number two, and if it's a girl, I'd like to choose a name with similar qualities, and a similar "feel". Here is our list so far - I'd love to get some opinions on which would be the best of these options, as well as any suggestions of names you think would work well.

Emily
Lucy
Isobel
Naomi
Iris
Mary
Frances
Rose

Ella
Zoe
Jennifer
Rebecca
Charlotte
Sarah
Lucy

Oh sorry see you already have Lucy on your list. I think it would go beautifully with Anna

I don't think of Emily, Naomi or iris as international tbh. Mary and Frances and Isobel are (though I'd do Isabella). How about Catherine, Sarah, Rachel... I'd go for Frances from your list.

Anna and Lucy.

Anna and Kate
Anna and Beth
Anna and Sara
Anna and Grace
Anna and Lily
Anna and Sofia
Anna and Clara
Anna and Faye
Anna and Zoe
Anna and Molly

First thought was Nina then Lucy

I know sisters called Anna and Deborah.

I agree with you that Anna is classic, beautiful, elegant, simple, international etc. I think there are other names out there that are beautiful or simple or elegant etc but I honestly don't think there's another name that has all those qualities. To my mind it's completely unique.

If it were me I'd Isobel or Daisy as names that compliment Anna.

Laura

Alice
Elizabeth
Zoe
Mary - Miriam
Martha
Rebecca
Kezia
Thea
Clara

I don’t think Frances is very international (though it is lovely) - perhaps Francesca?

Iris is both classic and very ‘now’ - think it would go well.

What about Florence, Constance, Helena or Emma?

Serena

Grace, I also love Florence.

Cara or Ella but I love girl names ending in a

Lucy is lovely and sounds great with Anna

Rosie

My eldest is called Sofia and youngest is Anna.
I think Lucy goes well too.

Rose

Emily is my favourite from your list.

Alternatives-
Alice
Maria
Camille
Adele
Emelia

Lucy

It would be-

Anna and Martha
Anna and Lucy
Or Anna and Isabella

For me. Probably Lucy for the crunch although perhaps Lucinda

Maria or Martha

Elsa

Rosa or Maria are very international names with the qualities you mention imo.

Rosa
Celia
Lauren
Lucie
Sarah
Rebecca
Emily
Laura
Marie
Evonne
