Ideas for twins based on our shortlists

So my husband and I are finally expecting and just found out we are having twins! We have short lists for both genders but I don't know which names sound best paired in a twin set. Ideas and suggestions would be most welcome Smile

Girls:

Ada
Etta
Zara
Bridget
Annabelle
Clementine
Luella

Boys:

Gabriel
Rafael/Raphael
Beau
Hugo

I'm leaning towards Bridget and Luella for two girls, Etta and Gabriel for B/G and Rafael and Hugo for two boys.

I really love Ada as a name but don't love it with any of the boys names that we like so far, what would you pair Ada with for a B/G twin set?

Open to other name suggestions too, our last name is a fairly standard double barrelled name ending in 'er'

I would just go for the names you love and not worry too much about whether they "go" together. They may be born as twins but they will have individual identities as they grow up.

Congrats! Love your name choices. If you like Ada I would pair it with Beau

Your post is about names but from reading it I sense that this is brilliant brilliant news for you and your husband. I'm a complete stranger, coming over all tearily happy for you, but with not much to help answer your question.
