Hello all, twin girls coming up. One is Magdalena Rose and the other Valentina ??? I would like something short-ish but classic.

How about Margot as a compromise. La reine Margot.

Magary is truly awful.

Pearl? Margaret means Pearl.

Nope, first name will definitely be Valentina, just trying to pick middle name. I don't want anything that starts with a vowel because Valentina ends with a vowel and I think it's hard to pronounce.

So you're now thinking of Magdalena & Margary?

Echobelly · 08/11/2018 21:21

Valentina...

Aurora
Cara
Diane
Giselle

I think that there's a reason it fell out of fashion tbh.

Marguerite?

Joinourclub · 08/11/2018 21:18

Hmmm not made up, but sounds it. What about Magda?

Shriek · 08/11/2018 21:16

Ha! Yeah...tis very! Rose and Valentine

Update: what do you think of Margary? (ie with a hard G, not Margery or Marjorie.) Have been doing some research and apparently it was a Tudor version of Margaret which fell out of fashion...I love it. I want my my girls to have unusual names (I was one of three people in my school year with my name and it sucked) but also proper traditional names which aren't made up...thoughts?

Thanks all. We decided against "Valentina Rose" because it sounds TOO romantic haha. I like Maude but we found out that it was originally a nickname for Madeline so too close to Magdalena. I like Ruth and Margot. My sister's middle name is Margaret so that would be a nice nod to her.

...and Magdalena Grace

Elise

Shriek · 08/11/2018 16:55

I see there was another for rose too!

I do think it's a wonderful match

Shriek · 08/11/2018 16:53

How bizarre. After reading OP I immediately thought, Valentina Rose
Which is odd as I then read that not only have you already used Rose bit that the first post I read suggested the same!

What would think to swapping them, and finding a different middle name for Magdalena?

Another vote for Valentina Ruth

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/11/2018 15:46

Valentina Lily.
Valentina Willow
Valentina Joy
Valentina Grace
Valentina Elise
Valentina Faith

lebkuchenlover · 08/11/2018 15:15

I love Valentina! Of all the suggestions, I think Joy is a lovely middle name.

TatianaLarina · 08/11/2018 11:00

Great names OP, congrats!

andreaj17 · 07/11/2018 21:45

I would have said Rose if you didn't already have that for your other one. I like Grace and Pearl if you only want a one syllable middle name. (We're going for Rose as one of the middle names too - although we're having 2 middle names:-) Valentina is a beautiful name - it was on my shortlist!
