Baby names for twins (when you have 12 other DC)

40 replies

I need advice, for the first time ever I am stuck for baby names. I have 12 other children and my dh is less than helpful when it comes to names.
We know our twins are non-identical but don't know the sex so need 2 girls names and two boys names!

My ideas for girls so far are - Clara, Amelia, Mhairi , Willow , violet but don't like vi as nn, and scarlet.
For boys- Edward, Alexander, Joseph, Finley and that's about it.

Open to suggestions! :)

I think my favourites are Amelia, Kate and Scarlet for the girls and Joseph and Edward for the boys.
