Some lovely suggestions, thanks all!

Juliet seems to be a favourite, which is nice to hear – DH and I love the name. Annabelle, Madeleine and Stella also seem very much liked. Tiffany, Hayley, Caroline and Ashley have been cut from the list. We are still considering Blair however, DH really loves it. Neither of us are American by the way, just liked the names. Definitely going to name them reverse alphabetically as suggested, thanks for the advice! Hadn’t actually considered that yet.

So, I think we have narrowed it down to the following combinations (with middle names):
Juliet Billie and Annabelle Blair
Juliet Renee and Stella Madeleine
Stella Juliet and Blair Isabelle
Sophia Billie and Blair Madeleine
Blair Evangeline and Annabelle Jo
Blair Evangeline and Alexis Sophia

Any thoughts? Favourite combos? DS1 and 2 are Nicholas and Stefan.

Quite a mixed bag of names but I would go for Sophia and Madeleine

Blondie87 · 11/05/2018 07:22

Love Juliet and Annabelle. Think Jules and Bella are sweet nns.

ThreeAfter30 · 11/05/2018 07:17

I think Ashley and Annabelle sound lovely

TroubledLichen · 11/05/2018 03:11

From your list I like Annabelle, Madeleine and Juliet.

Tiffany, Hayley and Ashley scream 1980s sitcom. Sorry but I think they’re very dated. Sophia and Isabelle are bland and over used. Personally I dislike Stella, Alexis and Blair. Can’t decide if Caroline is gorgeous and way overdue for a comeback or whether it belongs with the naff 80s names. I certified haven’t heard it on anyone under 40.

talimom500 · 11/05/2018 02:58

Annabelle and Juliet. Or Sophia and Juliet. As long as one of them is Juliet. 😊

ooobisto · 11/05/2018 01:08

Mia and Cara (means My Love)

photographyaddict · 10/05/2018 22:52

Sophia and Isabelle! As for the middle names I love the idea of Sophia Grace and Isabelle Rose :)

bluechameleon · 10/05/2018 22:49

I like Caroline, Juliet, Annabelle (though I prefer the spelling 'Annabel') and Madeleine.

alpineibex · 10/05/2018 22:40

Sophia & Annabelle Smile

manicinsomniac · 10/05/2018 21:39

Ashley and Blair work well together, I think. Are you American? I only know one little girl called Ashley in the UK and her mum is Canadian. I've only come across Blair on Gossip Girl Blush

Middle names:
Ashley Elizabeth and Blair Alexandra
Ashley Marie and Blair Isabella

Also from your list, I think these would make great pairs:
Alexis Hope and Madeleine Grace
Sophia Jane and Isabella Kathryn
Annabelle Rose and Juliet Elizabeth
Hayley Belle and Alexis Star

userabcname · 10/05/2018 19:01

I like as pairs:
Annabelle and Madeleine
Isabelle and Juliet

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/05/2018 18:51

Caroline and Juliet.
I also love Stella.

Caroline Sophia and Juliet Tiffany.
Stella Blair.

Sharonthetotallyinsane · 10/05/2018 18:48

That’s quite a mix of names.

Stella and Madeleine.
Or
Isabelle and Madeleine.

maymai · 10/05/2018 18:37

I don't think you can have Isabelle and Annabelle together

Stella and Sophia?
Ashley and Alexis
Annabelle and Caroline
Hayley and Tiffany
Isabelle and Madeleine
Juliet and Blair

Personally I don't like Ashley or Blair as they are unisex names.

RavenWings · 10/05/2018 18:19

Ashley - meh
Blair - lovely
Sophia - bland and overused
Alexis - nice
Isabelle - also bland and overused
Stella - nice
Caroline - meh
Annabelle - no, too fluffy and frilly
Hayley - ok
Madeleine - ok
Tiffany - ok
Juliet - nice

I'd go for Stella and Blair, Blair and Alexis or Stella and Alexis.

Possible middle names:
Stella Rain
Stella Joy
Stella Lux
Blair Isabelle
Blair Penelope
Blair Evangeline
Blair Madeleine
Blair Anastasia
Blair Carina
Alexis Sophia
Alexis Jade
Alexis Ivy
Alexis Annika

I'd use a very fem middle name with Blair, probably a long one too. I actually think Blair Antonia is beautiful but I'm sure you see the problem with it Grin. Blair Serena is probably also one to avoid!

bridgetreilly · 10/05/2018 17:58

My favourie combinations:
Isabel and Madeleine
Stella and Caroline
Annabel and Juliet

Happyandshiney · 10/05/2018 17:26

“Kew rice” autocorrect? Where did that come from? Practice

lynmilne65 · 10/05/2018 17:26

Tiffany !ShockEnvySadConfused

Happyandshiney · 10/05/2018 17:25

I think that although Madeline and Anna are both girgybanes that they might be hard to say together.

You need to Kew rice shouting whatever you choose from the back door (you’ll be doing it a lot!)

Maddy and Anna or Anna and Mandy is quite difficult to shout (in my accent(

Cosmoa · 10/05/2018 17:05

I also like Madeline and Annabelle together!

marine04 · 10/05/2018 16:33

I like Stella, Caroline and Juliet from your list. I have twins and Stella was one of my short-listed names but it was vetoed by my husband. I would have paired it with Esme.

ILikeMyChickenFried · 10/05/2018 16:14

I did reverse alphabetical order with my twins too, particularly important if you're going for A and B names!
