We want strong, feisty names for our twin girls. Which combo do you prefer?

Frieda and Nina
Aphra and Greta
Tess and Olive
Dorothea and Emmeline

@speingydaff - I love the idea that I will get a good idea of their personalities in the days after they are born. These are my third and fourth kids, I’m under no illusion that I will know what they are going to be like from those hazy newborn days.

I like Tess, Greta and Dorothea. Not so keen on the other names so hard for me to choose one of your pairs. Tess and Greta?

Why are you trying to chose a combo? Why don't you just chose the two names you like the best. You are having kids not choosing a new brand name 😅.

I would chose the two individual
Names You like the best then make sure they don't sound bad together or sound too similar and go from there.

Congrats 💐💐

But they might not be strong and feisty people?

Don't you want to meet them first to see what would suit?

Frieda and Nina

Frida (prefer this spelling to Frieda) and Greta would be great.

I think strong & feisty is absolutely what you’ve nailed here - although I’d probably mix up the combos so they’re more contrasting. I think my favourite combo would be:

Olive & Emmeline

All awesome though !

MightyAtlantic · 18/06/2019 23:13

Not keen on any of those combinations, sorry. Tess, Nina and Greta are the best names.
I don't think strong and feisty when I hear Dorothea and Emmeline.

username1724 · 18/06/2019 23:13

I like Aphra and Emmeline

Blinkingblimey · 18/06/2019 23:12

Nina & Tess 😁

barnet · 18/06/2019 23:11

Frieda and Nina

LittleDoritt · 18/06/2019 23:10

I like Dorothea and Tess Grin

Of your pairs though, Frieda and Nina.

MyInnerAlto · 18/06/2019 23:08

Oh, I really like them all, apart from Tess and Olive (just sound a bit flat and ordinary compared to all the others). I think Frieda and Nina edge it for me.

Dorothea and Emmeline

Jossina · 18/06/2019 23:03

Dorothea and Emmeline followed by Tess and Olive.
