I’m expecting my second child, we have a name lined up for a boy (Louis) but can’t think of ANY girls names I love. My DD1 is called Anna, can you help me with names for a girl that would work with Anna please?

Their other girls included
Catherine
Veronica known as Vera
Margaret

Elsa?

The names don't need to go together, but they'll probably have the same sort of vibe. Anna is a classic so something else short but classic would be best. Something like Emma or Zara?

I have Louis, great choice! Anna was on my list for girls names too, other girls names I liked:

Thanks all for your suggestions. Lots in here I hadn’t even considered. In particular Emily and Lara are now strong contenders. Thanks so much 😊

Anna and Madeleine.

I know an Anna whose sister is Emily. I've always thought they went together really well. They have the same simple, classic vibe, but with one ending in "a" and the other ending in "y" they don't sound "matchy".

Funny - I'm an Anna, my sister is Sophie (Marie), my brother is Sam, my three daughters are Sasha, Nina, Juliet. Names I strongly considered are Stella, Tessa, April, Daphne, Clara, Zoe (Alpha and Omega, entire alphabet), Elizabeth.

Actually, here's the list I was considering for the third girl, the first two having rather 'Anna adjacent' names:

April
Juliet
Constance
Zoe
Daphne
Adelaide
Tessa
Hazel

Thanks for these 😊 I love the name April, but DH isn’t convinced unfortunately and Sophie as a great name but it belongs to my cousin (we’re close so can’t really use it). I did think Sophia but then worried it might be silly both DD ending in ‘a’.

Anna and Sophia is lovely.
I love Anna.
First thought was Lucy, but I like a pp's suggestion of Sabine, too.
