Due twin girls the start of October.

We had decided on Everly Genevieve & Spencer Ottilie. My DH loved Spencer but has went off it recently & we are gonna choose another name.

He won't let me have Ottilie 😞.

We like -
Verity (DH choice)
Mila or Veda.

Help us 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would presume Spencer was a boy, sorry.

If you're still going with Everly, I'd avoid another y/ie ending if I were you so their names aren't too matchy-matchy.

I agree to me spencer is a boys name.

I like Verity but not together with Everly

😂😂😂😂, don't think we need the ohhh it's a boys name conversation as last time. It's boring, we've decided to change it. Moving forward...

I like Veda and Ottilie. Everly is nice too but has a different feel to it. I have to say I really don't like Spencer for a girl. Everly and Veda would get my vote for twins if you can't have Ottilie.

Everly and Mila is OK. Everly and Verity is a bit of a mouthful, although Verity is still much much better than Spencer.

Veda! Unusual!! But lovely

I wonder if Everly will have a lifetime of people thinking she said 'Beverly' whenever she introduces herself.

I like Verity. I don't like 'O' names generally, so Ottilie would be a no for me.

I can't vote for Veda. Where I come from, it's a type of bread. It's lovely but it's a loaf, not a girl's name.

Unfortunately Genevieve and Ottilie aren't an option, that's why they are middle names. I'm leaning towards Mila. Everly is a definate.

I know someone with 2 little girls (not twins though) called Everley and Addison.
I think the 2 names have a similar vibe and go very nicely together.

What about Ottoline? Avoids the ie/y ending and has lovely books!

Have nieces named Addison & Eden.

Ottilie is a family name that's why we are using it as a middle name after a great grandmother.

Everly and Veda, as they are both unusual. Not sure about Everly and Verity. And Mila seems to getting very popular.

Yes also came here to say Veda is a lovely loaf toasted with some banana on top

Everly and Mila. Veda makes me think Darth Vader

Jedbartletforpresident · 19/08/2017 18:32

Please, please don't use Veda - it's like calling your child Hovis! I LOVE Veda.... toasted with tons of butter on top - NOT as a girls name!

I really like Everly. (Although would spell it Everley - it looks like something is missing to me without that second 'e')

How about Violet if you want a V name? Or Vera?

Everly and....
Adrianne
Victoria
Harriet
Ursula
Fionella
Romilly
Vivian
Marcella

From your choices i prefer verity and don't mind the 'y' ending for both girls.

Veda! Just googled the meaning - "knowledge" - and have added it to our list for DC3!

Are you really sure about Everly? Surely everyone's instantaneous automatic thought will be '...Brothers' - I've never heard it in any other context. Sounds quite masculine too....

Verity and Mila is the way to go IMHO.

Dead set on Everly.

Avery is lovely but it's our dogs name 😊

Mila from the options you gave. How about Sidney?
