Hi, we're pregnant with identical twin girls.

We have two boys, Nathan Carrick Llewellyn and Daniel Rhys Tierney. They both have one Welsh and one Irish middle name.

We have one girls name sorted: Lucy Bronwyn Sinead (again, one welsh and one Irish middle name)

For the second, we have:
Molly Rhiannon Darcy
Rachel Tegan Darcy
Rachel Carys Darcy

Which do you like best out of the above 3?

Rachel Carys Darcy definitely

Rachel!!!! (says the mother of one!)

Totally underrated as a name at the moment, and its so classic and dignified and lovely!

Prefer Carys to Tegan. Am neither put up nor down by Darcy, tbh.

And congratulations - and good luck!

Rachel is a very harsh sounding name.

Much prefer Molly.

Rachel
Molly is too cutesy for me - how would it sound when she is trying to be taken seriously as an MP or an MD?

And together Lucy and Molly sound like a pair of terriers

Darcy I wouldn't use myself but as a second middle name it'll rarely be used

Rachel Carys is lovely

They all sound ok really. But I've never really liked Carys.

Lucy & Molly is a bit of a mouthful. Lucy & Rachel much easier to say!

I think Rachel and Lucy sound much much better together. Lovely names!

I like Rhiannon out of your middle names but would sound a bit funny after Rachel..I would maybe keep thinking for middle names or go for carys.

Don't really like sinead (makes me think lemonade) or darcy (makes me think mr darcy P & P)- but I don't know much about Irish names

It's interesting all the votes in favour of Rachel - it does seem to becoming far more popular in recent years - I know three born in the last two years.

Lucy is very popular as well.

Awwww Congratulations!

Love your boys name.

Out of your choices I would go for Lucy & Rachel Carys Darcy. Think Lucy and Rachel are pretty names that sit well together.

Good Luck!

Definitely Rachel Carys. Very classy. Tegan sounds like a brand of shampoo to me. And Molly is a lovely name for a little girl. But not a grown woman.

TBH not keen on your first names but that's just down to personal taste.

I like Rhiannon or Tegan as a middle name. Carys and Darcy are getting quite popular now.

How about Lolly, Kelly, Sally, Tali for similar sound names to Molly?

Lucy and Lolly?
you are kidding, aren't you?

Sally is quite nice though

Rachel is nicer than Molly - I agree about Lucy and Molly sounding like terriers!

Rachel Carys Darcy definitely my favourite.
