We have dd1 - Lydia

We've decided What one of our dtds will be but the second baby's name is not so clear. At the moment we love Heidi and are quite keen on Alice but that one might change. What are people's thoughts on the combination, any other ideas (needs to include Heidi as dh is delighted I actually like a name he likes!).

I want them to have different, not matching names.

Thanks x

Love Heidi and Alice - also like Alicia although quite close to Lydia I guess!

Anna or Anya would be nice with Heidi too Smile

is it a boy or a girl?

Anya is a lovely suggestion because it kind of sounds northern european but not foreign (like Heidi. Heidi is used here, wouldn't assume the parents were foreign).

I like Heidi and Lucas or Heidi and Marcus if it's a boy
for a girl, Heidi and Clara, Heidi and Phoebe, Heidi and Anya, Heidi and Olga

Definitely girls - they are ID twins! I like Phoebe a lot but there seem to be a lot round here. Possibly something to do with my age group being "Friends" watchers Grin

Charlotte's lovely too, Lottie.

I think Heidi and Alice derive from the same name, but it's a nice combo.

Ooh yes, I love Clara! That goes beautifully.

Not Clara! She's the other girl in the Heidi story! (Or is it the name of the mean aunt?...) Anyway, someone is bound to give you that book at some stage....
Charlotte sounds lovely. As mother to a Phoebe, it is amazing how many people can't get the vowels in the right order, so you might be forever spelling out Heidi and Phoebe.

I came to say Clara as well but have been totally pipped to the post.

She was the other girl in the Heidi book, the one that lived in the city.

Heidi and Alice is lovely. Heidi and Clara is too cutesy. Heidi and Phoebe is nice.

"She was the other girl in the Heidi book, the one that lived in the city" in the wheelchair ..... how I wish I could push my dd's wheelchair up the Alm and cure her.... (That's why I wouldn't choose Clara)

I was going to suggest Clara - but I think that's because I'm swayed by the tv programme/book from when I was little.

I think Holly and Heidi would be cute. :)
