Sapphire and .....!!!!!

I need help and fast! I am due a week today, I am pregnant with fraternal twins, two girls :)
But here is where my problems begin.
I have always always loved the name Sapphire, I just love everything about and there is nothing anyone can say to put me off. My imaginary DD was always going to be Sapphire but now I'm having 2 !!!
I just can't find another girls name I like equally and don't want to do with second best as whichever child is named Sapphire seems favouritism. I have considered discounting Sapphire all together but I can't bring myself to do it.
I have two DS's called Sol and Flint... if that helps.

Please help me time is running out!!

I like the Sapphire and Celeste suggestion too

MaryMungo · 06/01/2011 14:54

Sapphire and Scarlett sounds nice together without being too matchy.

Ilayda- means water fairy
Nixie- water sprite
Tallulah- leaping water

Going down the blue theme ...

Opal? or how about Eden?

mrsweasleyismyalterego · 06/01/2011 14:02

love the name emerald nn em couldn't use it as dp vetoed it Sad .it goes well with sapphire imo

amethyst nn amy also might be worth considering

BuntyPenfold · 06/01/2011 13:50

I like Halcyon, but maybe I am the only one.

Amaryllis? (It's a beautiful blue flower to go with Sapphire)

Deciduousblonde · 06/01/2011 13:37

Violet?

Love your sons names too :)

Bumperlicious · 06/01/2011 13:37

Or I would go for an unusual flower name like Columbine or Camelia. I think you need to go for a nature type name given the others.

belgo · 06/01/2011 13:36

Sapphire and Sylvia.

Bumperlicious · 06/01/2011 13:34

Dd1 was very nearly Sapphire! Can I offer an 'out there' suggestion of Lilac, seeing as you like unusual names?

I really like Pearl and probably would be the solution to my problem except my step daughter is called Pearl!

BuntyPenfold- I was wondering about Sapphire/Sophia getting mixed up but it doesn't bother me too much. Thanks my DH actually chose their names, but he did such a good job they are perfect for them!
