Were sleep deprived parents of 3 week old twins,little boy after much debate will now be called Matthew Robert....little girls name is causing problems.

I knew we should have picked names before they arrived...but we decided not to find sexes,and then stupidly said we`d pick after they were born,not taking into account general exhaustion!

Had to cancel names registration today as still hadnt decided,and now were getting desperate!

Have a Martha already,def don`t want to use another name with initial M....would like something timeless,elegant,classic-we like Charlotte/Eleanor/Elizabeth + similiar ilk-dh not keen on those particular ones due to either popularity/family reasons .

Please help...any suggestions welcome!

Lydia is a fantastic name.

I LOVE the name Lydia, I really wanted it if we had a girl, but DP vetoed it saying she would get called Lydia Chlamydia! :(
I still think its beautiful though, I would have had Lydia Ruth.

I also like Juliet.

tummytickler · 23/08/2010 20:50

My first thought was that Lydia sounds great.
Martha, Matthew and Lydia sound lovely.

How about
Rosemary
Esmeralda
Constance
Lucinda
Philippa
Louisa
Carmen
Eliza
Tabitha
Polly
Carolina

Any good?

Congratulations!

Catherine springs to mind. Not sure why.

For a middle name is there a granny that you could reference (might narrow it down)
