Twin girls. We already have Caelan, Cerys and Cohen. After much discussion we've chosen to stick with the C theme so please no comments on that.

Cara Naomi is 100% decided and we arae 85% on Connie (other potentials are Casey and Cassie)

So now Connie needs a middle name...we want 3 syllables as all our kids have 2 syllable first name and 3 syllable middle names. Surname is 1 syllable. I like Connie Verity, DH likes Connie Jemima.

Connie Jemima.
2 names of the same ending just sound daft.

Connie Jemima

Jemima. I agree that two EE endings just don't work.

Bloosh · 03/04/2017 18:44

Connie Verity is beautiful

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/04/2017 19:12

Connie Jemima, it flows better, plus I ❤️ Jemima !

Sophronia · 03/04/2017 19:16

Connie Jemima.

Pemba · 04/04/2017 09:05

Agree that Connie Jemima flows better - Connie Verity with the two 'ee' sounds at the end sounds a bit more clumsy.

Epipgab · 04/04/2017 09:38

Connie Jemima, as the two "ee" endings together don't flow as well.

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 04/04/2017 09:40

Connie Jemima flows better, but it's a bit wet in my personal opinion.
So, I guess I prefer Connie Verity.

Madwomans · 04/04/2017 09:57

I'd think again - I don't think either works. The first and middle names ending with the same sound is a bit odd, and Connie Jemima just sounds like a strange pairing.

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 04/04/2017 12:38

Idk, I personally really like the names of your DC. Except for Connie, it's a bit 'meh' (boring and plain) compared to the others imo.
I really like the name Clare (which my username may kind of suggest, DD is Clarissa... Which probably does make me a bit biased).

Connie Jemima is lovely. It has a really warm, homely feel to it.

I don't like Verity much as it sounds too spiky on my tongue.

Lenilarch11 · 04/04/2017 14:18

And I adore Cara Naomi!

mum2be2boys · 04/04/2017 18:37

Another vote for Connie Jemima. Also like Cassie, again with Jemima.

MiniMaxi · 04/04/2017 19:41

Cara Naomi and Connie Jemima!

Kazzawazza69 · 04/04/2017 21:00

I like the name Verity better but think Connie Jemima flows better. Cara Naomi is lovely by the way x
