Hi! New here. We have 2 twin sets that we can't pick from.

Brodie and Gracie
Oliver and Elinor

Which one?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

ClubTropicanaDrinks · 24/08/2016 16:42

Can I be contrary and say Brodie and Elinor?!

All lovely names though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/08/2016 16:43

Congratulations and welcome!

Oliver and Elinor are the nicer names imo, but I think they are a bit too samey. Don't like Brodie.

PotteringAlong · 24/08/2016 16:46

Oliver and Eleanor for me

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 24/08/2016 16:47

Is Brodie for a boy? I've only heard it for girls recently.

Oliver and Gracie I like.

We like it spelt Elinor.

Brodie is definitely for a boy! Scottish origin.

Love Brodie, prefer Grace to Gracie, did you want them to sound similar?

Nospringflower · 24/08/2016 16:54

Only one I don't like is Gracie.

LAmusic · 24/08/2016 16:55

Grace and Elinor

LadyPenelope68 · 24/08/2016 16:57

Oliver and Gracie

RedLarvaYellowLarva · 24/08/2016 16:58

B&G, for BG twins!

anotherdayanothersquabble · 24/08/2016 17:14

Oliver and Grace

Mausageandsash · 24/08/2016 17:17

Brodie and Gracie is adorable X

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/08/2016 17:17

Far prefer the Elinor spelling.

NappingRabbit · 24/08/2016 17:18

Oliver and Grace (sorry)

BackforGood · 24/08/2016 17:20

I think the less common spelling of Elinor will really annoy her throughout her life.
Out of the 4, I'd choose Oliver and Grace

OK - I know I've adapted it slightly, but, I think 'Gracie' is a real 'little girl's name'. why not call her Grace, and you can still refer to hr as Gracie while she is little, but it's not her actual name for more formal, adult times.

Vixxfacee · 24/08/2016 17:22

I agree with pp Oliver and Grace.

ThatsWotSheSaid · 24/08/2016 17:24

Oliver and grace (or Gracie)

Swearwolf · 24/08/2016 17:24

I think with Oliver and elinor, the danger is they will become Ollie and Ellie, which is really matchy!

rosegoldie · 24/08/2016 17:24

Oliver and Gracie!

DramaAlpaca · 24/08/2016 17:26

Another vote for Oliver & Grace.

I like Oliver & Elinor, but they'll inevitably get called Ollie & Ellie. Depends if you'd mind that or not.

Gracie is a bit cutesy, and I'm not keen on Brodie.

DramaAlpaca · 24/08/2016 17:27

X-post with Swearwolf, I was typing too slowly!

ilovesprouts · 24/08/2016 17:29

Oliver and Elinor love the names

MitzyLeFrouf · 24/08/2016 17:44

Brodie and Elinor.

user1471501988 · 24/08/2016 18:31

Oliver and Grace, Gracie at home.

Holly1987 · 24/08/2016 19:08

Oliver and Grace sound lovely together Agree Gracie sounds more like a nn for people close rather an actual name.

But go with your instincts x
