Twinnie names - opinions please...

Hello all,

We are expecting twin girls and have finally decided on names after DH and I spending the last few months disagreeing (who knew it would be so hard!!). Sooo.... the names we have chosen are (no middle names yet):

Inés
Violet

DH is British and I'm French; we wanted a name from each nationality hence Inés as the more 'exotic' choice. Our DDs will have a long double-barrelled last name, do you think they will go well with these first names? (last name's initials are O-C). We also have an older DD called Olivia, if it makes any difference.

Anyway, your opinions would be much appreciated. Also suggestions for middle names would be great.

Thanks a lot!
Eva

Beautiful and perfect!

Inés Rose

Violet Anaïs

I think Violet and Ines is the most beautiful combination, i love both those names, just a shame that your elder daughters name is not so unusual.

Thanks both! I really like QOD's idea re middle names too. Any good suggestions? Took so long to agree on the first names that I' scared to even bring up with DH the fact that these babies will also need middle names!

Inés would be pronounced as Ee-nes :)

Thanks again
Eva

How do you pronounce Inés is it Eye-nez/s or Ee-nez/s or another way?
It looks realy pretty written down and looks lovely with Violet. Agree with QOD re the middle names.

Lovely and I think an exotic/French middle name for Violet and English one for Ines makes it perfect
