we are expecting our second daughter in a few weeks and still struggle to find the perfect name. I like classic names , my husband would like to have a Scottish or Irish name. Our oldest Daughter is named [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] and our last name starts with McC… if that’s help.
Our list so far:
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] / [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
The middle name will be likely any variation of [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. Other options would be [name_f]Sue[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] or [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].
I think any of those options work as a sister for [name_f]Anna[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] would be especially nice with [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
Maybe you would like:
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]

[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ciara[/name_f]
Eleanor [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] would be lovely!
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] is a gorgeous name! It’s on my list as well I’ll tell you some of the others I’m considering:
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] – prefer to [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] personally
Of your list, I really like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (it means “light” and was given to girls born at dawn, which is beautiful imagery). Also, I think the nicknames that come with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] are just fantastic – [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], etc.

Thinking of your husband’s desire for a Scottish or Irish name…
Anna and [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Fenella[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_u]Leslie[/name_u]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Jamesina[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
Lucy was my first thought even when I didn’t open the topic. Out of your list I also like [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] with [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. Btw, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] have the same meaning.
I love [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] with [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] would be so sweet! Or maybe [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Catriona[/name_f] for something more unique and equally charming – plus, it meets your husband’s Scottish requirement.
I have a sister named [name_f]Anna[/name_f]! [name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Mira[/name_f] and my other sisters are [name_f]Leah[/name_f] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f]. Other names my parents considered:
[name_f]Elowyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Louise[/name_u]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_u]Camille[/name_u]
Names I think would be great:
Something with the nickname [name_f]Callie[/name_f] or a Ca- name. Maybe [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]?
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]-classic and Scottish with a great nickname of [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]!
Sorry, that was all I could think of. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] I could help a bit!
My favorites with [name_f]Anna[/name_f] are [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].
I’ll tell you some of the others I’m considering:
