Hi ladies I'm new to this! Looking for some inspiration, we are expecting twin girls in November, always had my heart set on Emelia for a girl, but really struggling with a second name, we liked Emmie but didn't want it to sound too similar I Love Imogen but Hubby hates it, w then picked Ayla but I've now gone off that. HELP BlushConfused ( we already have two boys Charlie & Finley)

Yep, my DH was a disaster when it came to choosing our twins' names. He vetoed nearly every boys' name that I liked!

We only settled on the names finally when we were driving to the maternity hospital in the dead of night after my waters broke Grin

Haha TheEagle I think that's what it's going to come to!! There are some lovely name ideas, I love Edie/Isla but know at least 3 of each Shock the only name he really likes is rose, I'm not a fan of rose for a first name but I quite like rosalie but don't know if it's a bit too girly/twilight??

Hello and congratulations. I have 10 yr old twin boys and was conscious not to give them similar sounding names, names which start with same initial or even same number of syllables (perhaps I over thought it Smile)

A great tip I had was to give twin B, as he was dubbed by sonographer, a name which came before twin A's name in the alphabet, which has worked for us, enabling the younger (by a whole minute) to be first sometimes!

I like Emilia and Rosie.
A kind of a compromise?! I quite like that they aren't matchy if you know what I mean! In a similar dilemma as we are expecting twins too although not sure if we'll fine out whether they are boys or girls. It is a big decision naming one, two is hard!!!

Oh congratulations Surf25. When are you due? How are u finding growing two small people? It's crazy isn't it. It's so so hard picking two names that compliment each other as well as my boys names too! X

Thank you all for some lovely name ideas, me and hubby came to a compromise and seen as I was dead set on Emelia, I said he could pick the 2nd name( within reason because we know what men can be like hahaha) I THINK we have finally decided and Emelia rose and India rose. Smilethank you for all the lovely suggestions xx

Lovely choices op. Hope all goes well! Am enjoying carrying twins but yes it is quite crazy! I am avoiding thinking about names at the moment as it is just too difficult! I don't really want to find out whether they are boys or girls but dh wants to and I guess it may make it easier to pick names if we could narrow it down!! Am not due till December. All the best!
