Twin girls - one down, one to go

69 replies

We are having identical twin girls in a few weeks. We have decided one will be called Alice but we are going round in circles with the other name.
The shortlist is:
Beatrice (Bea) - DH really likes this but I've gone off it a bit
Olivia - sounds good with Alice but is too popular
Jemima - a bit pretentious?

Any suggestions please?

Alice and Olivia is a brand, though not as well known as other designer brands.

I'd pick Alice and Jemima.

I like Olivia but it's too popular

Jemima - dislike

I'd try and chose the name you like the best and try not to worry about whether it goes with your other daughters names.
