I have 4 girls, Aria, Eden, Aurelia and Elodie. I am having twins this time, me and DH like Hadley and Hayden for twin girls I was just wondering what peoples opinions are on Hadley and Hayden.

I've only ever come across Hayden as a boys name, and for me it fits with the Jayden style names which I personally really dislike.

please don't name twins very similar names, they will hate it.

I really don't like Hayden, it sounds like a boys name and reminds me of Hades. How about Hayley and Hattie?

@sevendown agreed 🙄🙄

WhereIsBlueRabbit · 18/02/2018 23:57

I have to say, I don't think the style is in keeping with your other daughters' names. How about:

Emmeline and Adelaide?
Emilia and Arianna?
Amelia and Elspeth?
Ophelia and Ottilie?

Love the suggestion of Isolde further up the thread!

Sevendown · 18/02/2018 23:48

Hmm odd that 2 threads are so similar...

NotEnoughCushions · 18/02/2018 23:29

Annalies and Eliza?

Isobel and Eleanor?

calzone · 18/02/2018 23:04

Eliza and Beatrice would be my twin girl names

Eliza Harlow and Beatrice Clementine.

Try this thread for inspiration -

Strikingly similar...

Way too matchy and surnamey too imo.

chocolateiamydrug · 18/02/2018 20:35

and I would think Hayden is a boy. Esp non fitting as your other DD's have very girly names. I don't like Hadley either. Back to the drawing board imo.

chocolateiamydrug · 18/02/2018 20:33

way to matchy. don't.

ChocolateCrunch · 18/02/2018 20:30

I'd assume they were boys. Personally I'd go for more feminine sounding names like you chose for your other daughters.

happytobemrsg · 18/02/2018 20:26

Oh I love Anais

mumgointhroughtorture · 18/02/2018 19:59

I agree about sounding quite boyish names . I think there's plenty of lovely girly names that would go better with your other girls .

PhuntSox · 18/02/2018 18:53

Isla and Ottilie

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 18/02/2018 17:18

Hadley and Hayden jar with your other girls' names and people will assume they're boys.

lalaloopyhead · 18/02/2018 17:15

I agree with PPs that Hadley and Hayden are too matchy and don't sound like names - makes me think of Hayes & Harlington train station.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 18/02/2018 17:06

Could you move onto the next vowel and have Isolde and Ianthe, two of my favourites?

Silentelf · 18/02/2018 15:49

Anais and Elana

PhuntSox · 18/02/2018 15:40

Avery and Eloise

PhuntSox · 18/02/2018 15:38

Hadley and Merryn
Marlowe and Eloise

FizzyGreenWater · 18/02/2018 15:35

Oh yes - one A, one E name - then they will complement towards the other childrens' names, rather than making the twins a matchy pair.

That's a really nice idea. You end up with three of each.

Emilia
Eliana
Emmeline
Eve/Eva

Arwen
Anna
Anouk
Alexandra
Anya

Anya and Emilia

Anna and Eva

bridgetreilly · 18/02/2018 15:12

They both sound like boy's names to me.

What about sticking with Es and As?

Ava
Evelyn
Aveline
Eleanor
Alyssa
Elena

daisypond · 18/02/2018 15:09

Oops, don't know where I got Harlow from! But Hayden is a boy's name.

Bringmewineandcake · 18/02/2018 15:05

I really don’t like Hadley, not keen on Hayden either for a girl.
Why so different to your other choices which do seem to compliment each other?
