What Would You Name A Sister To Betsy?

I was discussing sibling names with my best friend earlier, and we jokingly began to say what names we would choose for twins. I was able to make up 9 full sets out of my names, but then I noticed that a 10th name, that happens to be a favourite of mine, didn’t have a pairing. I actually cannot seem to find a girls name that fits perfectly with [name_f]Betsy[/name_f].

While it seems to be used in the UK still, I couldn’t find many threads from sites about sibling names for [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], so really, I’m stumped.

It’s sort of a silly concept, but now I’m curious as to what names do fit.

My other name sets, if anyone is curious, are:

[name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] & [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] & [name_f]Millie[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] & [name_f]Annie[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] & [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] & [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] & [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f] & [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] & __________

So, out of curiousity, what would you name a sister to [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]? I’d prefer not to use one of the first names I’ve already used, and I’m thinking about [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Nancy[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], & [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] :slight_smile:

Thanks for any suggestions :slight_smile:

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Sally[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Susan[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Patricia[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Janet[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Susie[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]

I really like [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] from your list!

I wouldn’t really do this, but [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] are adorable! For real:

[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Sally[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]

My first thought was [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], but I love some of the other suggestions too!

[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]

[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Mable[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]

[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] & [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] (or more formally, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] & [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]), from the [name_f]Maud[/name_f] Lovelace [name_m]Hart[/name_m] series. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Enid[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Marnie[/name_f]
Besty and [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]

My first thought was actually [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or [name_f]Nancy[/name_f]! Logistically they’re probably a bit too similar sound wise but I think they’re a nice match.

[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] is ten kinds of great. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. If I was feeling matchy and overly twee, I would suggest [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Hatsy[/name_f]. They’re adorable and I don’t even care that they share the last three letters. Along the same vein, I’d even suggest [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and Topsy.

[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]'s a great idea, too. I’d also suggest [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] (even though you have already used [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] in your list), but I’m biased. [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Kitty[/name_f]…I’m drowning in cute. [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] are precious, too.

Wow, thank you so much for the replies everyone!! I’ve picked my favourites from each suggestion, so I’ve come to:

[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]*
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]*
[name_f]Sally[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]*
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]* (I did think about taking [name_f]Annie[/name_f] out to use [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], actually!)
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]*
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]*
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]*
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]*
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lulu[/name_f]*
[name_f]Marnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]*
[name_f]Kitty[/name_f]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]

The ones with *'s beside are my top choices :slight_smile: I also love [name_f]Grace[/name_f] & [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] as middles for [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] (I was thinking earlier about [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]!)

It’s funny that you said [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] - [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] was actually my grandmother’s name :slight_smile: She passed away about 8 years ago, and I’d love to use her name, but I think it’s one of those things, where now, I can’t really imagine a child or anyone when I say or see the name, I just picture my grandmother! You’re right though, definitely an adorable combination!

I actually do really like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] together, I keep coming and going when it comes to [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] though :confused: I can’t seem to decide if I love it or not, unfortunately!

They are quite adorable, I was thinking the same about [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_u]Patsy[/name_u], but unfortunately, [name_u]Patsy[/name_u] just doesn’t seem to be for me. I love [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] and [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] really - [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] reminds me of Pride and Prejudice, which is my favourite novel. :slight_smile:
