Baby #4 Sister to Anne, Timothy and Edward
My babies names are
Anne Elisabeth "Annie" age 4
Timothy Michael "Tim" age 3
And
Edward Samuel "Eddie" 1 and a half
Baby #4 is a girl, ideas what we should name her?
We named Annie after gramma, Timothy after a cousin, and we just liked Eddie, any ideas? I like Elisabeth but I already used that as Annie's middle. Do you think that'd be an issue? So far we like Olive, Joanie, Ellen/Helen, Phoebe, Cynthia, Clarice, Therese, Ruth, Rosemary, Margaret, Victoria, with Vicky as a nickname not Tori, I like old lady names. Anne was his mom's name, my mom's name is Elisabeth. My husband likes the idea of just flipping them and naming this one Elisabeth Anne. I said we can't do that. I'm pretty sure he was just joking though. Which "old lady" name do you think would work?

Clarice!
I adore Clarice, and although it's not the most natural complement to Anne, Timothy, and Edward, I endorse it.
Rosemary, Helen, Ruth, and Therese are my other favorites from your list. Cynthia would be cute, too.
How about...
Agnes
Beatrice
Bernadette
Blythe
Cecile / Cecily
Constance
Delia
Dora
Doris
Emeline
Estelle
Fern
Flora
Frances
Gertrude
Hester
Irene
Jean / Jeanne
Judith
Lenore
Lilian
Louisa
Louise
Margery / Marjorie
Marguerite
Marian / Marion
Martha
Maud / Maude
Muriel
Pauline
Phyllis
Rosa
Rosalind
Sibyl

From your list, I would probably go with Rosemary Olive,
Ruth Victoria or Margaret Louise.
Other suggestions in your style could be:
Betty Suzanne
Dorothy Marie
Emily Charlotte
Hedwig Rowena "Hedy"
Iris Evelyn
Lieselotte Frances "Lottie"
Lorna Clarice
Mabel Catherine
Mae Virginia
Marie Therese
Marnie Lavinia
Sibyl Juliet
Winifred Elaine "Winnie"
Ruth Victoria or Margaret Louise.

I would go with Ruth or Olive.
I think Helen and Rosemary would both be really good fits for the sibset. Maybe ask Annie if she wants to share a middle name with her baby sister? It could be a really lovely bonding thing, or it could be a space of contention. As she's old enough for a basic opinion, it might be a good idea.

I love Olive, Ruth, and Margaret.
I like well enough Helen, Joanie, Phoebe, Therese (especially with the nn Tess), and Rosemary.
Not a fan of Cynthia, Clarice, Victoria.
I wouldn't use Elisabeth again, though I do like it.
I think Margaret (Meg) Rosemary or Ruth Clarice (Ruthie?), or maybe Olive Margaret (Liv) would work best with your other children's names.

Ok, thank you for the help
I don't have a problem with using Elisabeth since it is a family name and you love it. Reversing the names? Not so much, lol.
Anyway, I'm sure that sort of thing has been done plenty of times before. In fact, the Cambridges of England recently used a name twice (Louis).
Of the other names, I like Ellen, Rosemary, Margaret, and Victoria best paired with the names of your other children. They have the same classic style. The other names aren't really my style although they're equally classic. The only one I really don't care for paired with the classic Anne is Joanie which is more informal. Joan or Joanna would work better, imo.
Overall, I like Victoria best followed by Elisabeth.

Thank you, I like all of those ideas
I'd name a baby Joan or Joanna rather than Joanie, and use Joanie as a nn.
I'd use Helen in a heartbeat and Ellen not at all. Eleanor, Elinor or Eloise could work and might be better since you're obviously nickname people.
I know an Anna Elizabeth whose sister is Ruth Mary, which is close to Rosemary. Ruth Margaret would also work well.
I'd use Victoria nn Vickie because Vickie would honour a good friend.
What about a different form of Elisabeth? Elspeth or Elsabe (ELsabee) would be distinguished and also echo Big Sister.

First of all, congratulations to you fourth baby!!
I'm sorry but siblings called Anne Elisabeth, Timothy Michael, Edward Samuel and Elisabeth Anne? That's a bad idea because your new little baby would be sorry. She doesn't bring her own name.
I suggest Eliška Richenza - that's a diminutive of Elisabet and it comes from European history. I don't know if you've got European roots.
My suggestions with a name Eliška:
Eliška Adelheid
Eliška Aloisia
Eliška Apollonia
Eliška Adléta
Eliška Bogomira
Eliška Bogdanka - Bogdana means "Given by God"
Eliška Brynhild
Eliška Branwen
Eliška Boann
Eliška Ceres
Eliška Cecilie
Eliška Constance
Eliška Clothilda or Clothild
Eliška Dagmar
Eliška Dobromila
Eliška Dobromira
Eliška Elfryd
Eliška Edyth
Eliška Edeltrud / Adeltrud / Edeltraud
Eliška Edelfled
Eliška Epona

Alright, thank you
Rosemary Therese
Phoebe Harriet
Victoria Margaret
Ruth Clarice
Helen Cynthia
Millicent Olive
Elisabeth Joanie
I wouldn't reuse names for siblings, personally, but people do it.
I think any of them would work. My favorite with your kids' names would probably be either Rosemary or Ruth.
