Sister for Jennifer

62 replies

pumpkinpie07 · 07/09/2021 09:53

We have a Jennifer (known as Jenny)

Currently expecting another baby but we don't know the sex.

What would you expect her sister to be called? Looking for ideas and suggestions.

My current favourite is Annabelle (Anna)

Thanks Smile

Annabelle is nice and Anna is even nicer - goes well with Jenny.

My first thought was Sarah.

For boys William, Adam or James.

I agree Annabelle/Anna is a good fit although I like the Annabel spelling better, and think it would fit better with the "non-frilliness" of Jennifer.

Sarah is a nice suggestion and also how about:

Amy
Laura
Lauren
Emily
Rebecca
Megan
Elizabeth
Samantha
Robyn
Tamsin

Agree with this - Annabel just "fits" better with Jennifer imo.

Also feel names like Sarah, Laura, Megan, Amy, Hannah, Catherine, Eleanor, Rachel, Caroline seem a good match to Jennifer's style to me.

Susan (Susie). Rarely heard of and unfrilly. Or Susannah.

Gillian or Jill, but possibly too alliterative?

Catherine

Louisa or Lois

Keke94LND · 07/09/2021 15:54

My name is Jennifer, I have a sister called Helen and a sister called Elizabeth, I think our names go quite well :)

35andThriving · 07/09/2021 16:03

Came on here to suggest Abigail and Lucy. Both of these have been suggested already. I also like the name Tamsin.

For boys, Matthew, Benjamin, Harry or David.

Annabelle would work (though I personally prefer Annabel)

I think Annabel is nicer than Annabelle, and also matches Jennifer better.

What about:

Louise

Victoria
Sarah
Penelope

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Interesting that lots of you say Annabel is nicer and fits better with Jennifer.

Does anyone have any suggestions for names that could shorten to Anna? I think Jenny and Anna would go quite well together.
