Juliet and Isabelle

I prefer more classic names so would chose Sophia, Madeleine, Caroline or Juliet. I have twin girls and would echo what a previous poster suggested about naming them in reverse alphabetical order (so Juliet and Caroline instead of Caroline and Juliet). It's meant a lot to my second born twin that her name is often called out first at school etc.

I would agree that Ashley and Blair are lovely!

Test how Blair sounds in your local accent as it could be quite “blaaaahhhh” sounding in certain voices.
I like Juliet and Annabelle as they can both be shortened. Though Baby Annabelle the doll is still around so that could be a small annoyance.
Agree that some of the names are a little 80s sounding. Especially Tiffany, sorry.

But I love that you’re not going to use two matching first letters. Not rhyming!

If I had twin girls I would call them Rose and Ella. I think!

Blair is an awesome name

starkid · 10/05/2018 13:22

Some of the choices are very 80s/American.

I like Juliet and Alexis from your list.

sonnyboo · 10/05/2018 13:20

All good names. I'd go with your favourites, Ashley and Blair but would name the second twin Ashley!

I saw triplets in Tescos. They were like a litter of kittens running around.Grin
Adorable doesn't even begin to cover it.

Stella and Alexis/Sophia.

Just remember you will be stopped 50 billion times per hour by strangers obsessed with twins. Something that rolls off the tongue easily and doesn’t inspire conversation is advisable.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/05/2018 13:00

To pair them up
Ashley Jade and Tiffany Ray
Juliet Willow and Annabelle Rose.
Madeleine Sophia and Caroline Maria
Hayley Marie and Ashley Paige
Stella Blossom and Blair Ivy
Sophia Grace and Alexis Maude.

I would go with Juliet and Annabel. Juliet is my favourite. I’m not a huge fan of unisex names really and I definitely wouldn’t want the association with Tony Blair lol. May not be an issue if you’re not in the UK.

Happyandshiney · 10/05/2018 12:53

If you go for Ashley and Blair make sure that twin one is Blair and twin two is Ashley.

It just means that sometimes one is first chronologically and one is first alphabetically.

Moominfan · 10/05/2018 12:52

I think a n b could come in handy

I like Ashley and stella

Sophronia · 10/05/2018 12:50

I love Caroline. Caroline and Juliet, Caroline and Annabelle or Caroline and Stella would be lovely.

Not keen on Ashley, Blair, Tiffany, Alexis and Hayley. They all sound a bit 80s American.

Sophia and Isabelle are nice but very popular. Madeleine is ok but I’m not a fan of Maddie.

TuttiFrutti · 10/05/2018 12:50

Won't Ashley and Blair become A and B? As is, Twin A and Twin B? Personally I would avoid.
