Twin names 👶🏻👶🏻

Hey! Already have a little boy, he's 5!

Expecting twin girls in October & toying with names we like but need oppnions as our family don't know the genders 🙈

We really like Everly & Spencer, but we just aren't set and want something that jumps out at us. Not too matchy they aren't identical.

Spencer is cute!
I'm a fraternal twin - our names are Stacy and Leanne..they don't need to match! Just names that flow nicely as they'll be said together A LOT.

We are using Everly. Nah it's nothing to do with plants I just thought when someone shared their Ivy suggestion it went great with our chosen middle names. I'm sure when we see of hear the name we will know 🙈

If your dog is Avery I don't think you can use Everly.

Nor do I think you can use Everly and Ivy.

You seem to like plant name so (Ivy, Rowan) so what about Juniper or Willow?

It's not even so much unisex or surname type names I like on purpose it's just what I'm gravitating towards never knew everly was unisex as I'd only heard of one girl called it. Iv got an aunt Robyn 😊

Spencer is awful for a girl.

Ivy is nice but too close to Everly. It is really a mouthful.

Rowan is great for a girl.

If you like unisex names, have you thought about Robyn?

IHaveACrapCat · 21/06/2017 19:52

Everly and islay would be amazing! Especially if you were Motown fans!

Everly genevieve & ivy ottilie are lovely choices, I don't think it matters that they may become a bit matchy with Evie and Ivy

Other ideas:
Everly genevieve and

Rowan ottilie
Mallory ottilie
Seraphina ottillie
Willow ottilie
Darcy ottilie

Muumi3 · 21/06/2017 19:46

Everly and Mallory
Everly and Isley (eyes-lee)
Everly and Savannah
Everly and Rowena

MollyHuaCha · 21/06/2017 19:25

And as previously stated I'd loved to call one of the girls Ottilie but my husband hates it 😞. He thinks it sounds strange with our surname!

It's the same YouTuber 😂, That's where I got the name from think it was her names we love and won't be using vlog!

I love rowan, that's so unsusal!

Didn't presume they were fraternal this was what I was told, as previously stated the lady who posted a really useful link said some medical professionals aren't aware of this 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I think we are dead set on Everly Genevieve! But so far I'm loving Ivy & Sailor.

Thanks for all the suggestions though ladies some names I haven't even came across 🙈.

Channing Tatum & Jenna might have given Everly more attention as a name as they gave it to their daughter which is where I first heard it from, so I think I've always found it nice because I associate it with this lovely picture of them 😂

Sorry OP I'm afraid I don't like either name choice. If I was told about children called Everly and Spencer I would totally assume they were both boys. I only know male Spencers, can't imagine it on a girl, just seems odd. Everly looks like a typo, with either a missing 'B' for Beverly or a missing 'n' for Evelyn.

I like unusual names but really don't like surnames for first names or boys names for girls. Your middle names are lovely

lorelairoryemily · 21/06/2017 17:46

Sailor would be nicer than spencer I think. Someone else suggested darcie, Sailor and Darcie are lovely together imo

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/06/2017 17:42

I like Everley, but not Spencer, as to m it's a boys name.
Suggestions;
Cameron
Dylan
Harlow
Storm
Roxanne

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 21/06/2017 17:26

Everly sounds like you're saving Beverley too fast. Spencer is a surname.

DontMentionTheWar · 21/06/2017 17:19

Ottilie and Genevieve are so much classier. Spencer is just awful and Everly sounds like a made up name to me. Ivy is a 'proper' name in my opinion and much better. How about Amélie?

user1459464195 · 21/06/2017 16:29

OK some suggestions with Everly:

Everly and Riley
Everly and Rowan
Everly and Hadley
Everly and Quinn
Everly and Shelby

Flowerpower321 · 21/06/2017 16:18

I also have separate placenta identical twins (paid for the DNA test)- don't assume they're fraternal!

Lemondrop99 · 21/06/2017 16:15

Spencer strongly feels like a boy's name to me.

Everly is nice

I love Ottilie and Genevieve

Do you like Aubrey?

BendydickCuminsnatch · 21/06/2017 16:08

Everly and Mia Wink just saying that cos I watch a YouTuber with those twins? Maybe it's a different one Grin

Everly & Parker is cool! V American! I like that though but MN in general will not Grin

ScarlettFreestone · 21/06/2017 16:07

My only concern about Ivy and Everly is that it might become Evy and Ivy which is a bit matchy especially for twins.

Girlwhowearsglasses · 21/06/2017 16:01

Yep - about a third of same sex sets of twins are identical. They absolutely don't need to share a sac (though if they do it's much mor high risk and that's why the doctors are concerned to find out).

If you're told this again or if you're interested this is a really good explanation www.multiplebirths.org.uk/identical.asp

AndNowItIsSeven · 21/06/2017 15:57

That's lovely op, ds1 has his grandads name as a middle name.

Amee1992x · 21/06/2017 15:55

Oh really I didn't know that, I was advised they are fraternal/non identical because they don't share a placenta or a sac! We learn something new everyday
