Hi there

Looking for help naming identical twins with a brother called Tobias (Toby mainly). We don't know the gender yet but think we're sorted on boys names so your assistance with girls would be very much appreciated!

Short list so far

Rosa
Eliza
Talia or Thalia
Verity
Ramona
Cassia
Saskia
Alice
Serena - dh not keen

One point that may or may not be important to you is that Will and Kate's new baby due around next Feb/March has top name with bookies of Alice

This could make it a very common name afterwards which might change your mind or not - no idea how you feel about that

Your babies would have same school year as the new Royal baby and also the ones who copy the name after the birth up until August 31st so there might be lots of peers at school or brownies etc called Alice

Lovely names and congratulations Smile

Verity, Saskia and Tobias. Gorgeous!

Can I tell you what NOT to name them. I knew a pair of twins in grade school who were named Ronald and Donald McDonald. And another pair of twins later in life who were Anna and Annette.

I have a Verity and we've never had ferrity if that helps (although someone did think she was called Bertie Hmm). I like all those - as said above for twins probably avoid starting with same letter or rhyming.

TooManyBigFatLies · 05/09/2017 01:43

I think you are approaching this wrong. You should just choose the names that you like the most and not try to chose names that go together. Obviously you shouldn't chose names that clash and I think it's a good idea to have different initials but other than that I think you should chose each name separately and on its own. They are children not a 'brand' Wink

I can't sleep and am really broody at the moment so am naming my fictional future babies. I have decided on Juliet and Caroline for my identical twin girls! You are welcome to use them Wink. Congratulations!!

Ronnie and Reggie or Topsy and Tim 😂😂

My favourites are Verity and Ramona, though. Ramona was on my list.

Greenifer · 04/09/2017 22:50

Rosa and Eliza work well together and are about the same level of unusual, which is important for the following and little-considered reason. That reason is stupid pens and bookmarks in gift shops with names on them. If one twin can buy them and one can't, there is going to be trouble. Trust me. Alice and Saskia almost certainly appear on these pens etc. Rosa and Eliza might or might not (also Serena). Verity, Cassia and Ramona definitely won't.

My daughter has a not weird but also not common name (top 300 when she was born, everyone has heard of it but there aren't tons of them) and is constantly in fits of pique at the lack of pens with her name on them.

BewareOfTheToddler · 04/09/2017 22:18

Verity and Romilly is a lovely combination!

Also like Saskia and Ramona - I think Ramona goes better with Saskia than Verity, they're a more similar type of name (imo).

Love Eliza, was my girls name for my last baby but didn't use as had a boy.

Think I like it with Alice the most.

Pepsioften100 · 03/09/2017 22:32

Alice and Eliza 🙂

sadmonkey1 · 03/09/2017 15:17

Alice and Saskia

Soslowmo · 31/08/2017 22:42

I like Alice & Eliza

Pibplob · 31/08/2017 21:10

Rosa and Cassia I my favs but not sure I would want them both to end in an 'a'. So then maybe rose instead. I don't like Alice but love Alicia.

MikeUniformMike · 31/08/2017 21:01

Saskia and Alice.

Polliver · 31/08/2017 21:00

Do not like Saskia. Ramona - cool

Mamabear4180 · 31/08/2017 20:56

Rosa and Eliza works perfectly and my favourites from your list.

user1471547428 · 23/08/2017 14:58

Oh love Carina too and also Calista

user1471547428 · 23/08/2017 14:58

Definitely not Cassia as I'm about to use it (joke, sort of...)
Apart from that, like Ramona and Saskia, but actually prefer Romola to Ramona.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 22/08/2017 15:58

What about Carina? LOVE. Ramona and Carina.

From your actual list though, Ramona and Saskia. Great list!

user1459464195 · 22/08/2017 13:27

Tobias, Rosa and Eliza
Toby, Rosie and Ellie

Lovely names - all well known whilst not being too popular.

starkid · 22/08/2017 12:56

I like Alice, Eliza and Ramona best :)

Pennywhistle · 22/08/2017 12:42

Intuition Roza and Liza would be a practical nightmare for twins. Grin

intuition · 22/08/2017 10:07

Roza and Liza (pronounced the same way)

Talia and Tilda and Toby!!
