Help name Georgina’s sister!

Hello everyone,
I have been searching through all the baby books and name lists online and still can’t seem to find one I like as much as Georgina. I was hoping you would be able to provide some ideas.
Georgina goes by Ginny and so the name needs to match both her full name and also the shorter form she gets called day to day.
Thank you!!

We knew a
Rowena and Georgina
and
Vicky and Georgie (Victoria and Georgina)

Can you go up the family tree a couple of generations for classic names?

I’d expect a Georgina (Ginny) to probably have a sister called Victoria (Vita), Harriet (Hattie), Caroline (Caro/Carrie/Callie), Charlotte (Callie/Lottie), Catherine (Kit/Kitty), Josephine (Josie/Posy/Effie), Antonia (Annie/Anya/Nina), Susanna (Sunny/Suki/Susie) or maybe Juliet (Lettie).

Don’t know why but names like those work well together with Georgina to me - possibly it’s that they are mostly traditional feminine versions of classic masculine names too (apart from Catherine and Susanna but they are still very classic).

I have a Georgina, a Harriet and a Beatrice (only realising the GBH abbreviation much, much later 😂).

I also like other 'classic' names like Charlotte, Elizabeth and Catherine.

Thank you so so much everyone. All your suggestions are along the right lines. I think our shortlist is currently the following:
Eloise
Penelope
Beatrice / Beatrix
Eleanor
and I like Juliet but think that is two many J sounds when I say the girls full names together 😂.
