Twins!

Shock to the system. 13 week scan and boom we have twins.

We won’t be finding out sexes however have been told they are identical therefore we need 2 boys and 2 girls names. Big sister is Niamh!

Boys names I’m leaning towards Thomas and Joseph (open to suggestions though)

Girls names we are a bit stuck. DD was always going to be Niamh or Orla. I’d quite like to use Orla, but have no idea what we would call the 2nd twin! Would it be a bit weird to have Niamh, Orla and then maybe something very English?

Thoughts please!

Orla and Erin?

I think you'd be happier with three Irish names. Love Orla. What about Aoife(Eefa), Caitlin, Sorcha or Maeve? Good luck! What wonderful news. 😀

Congrats we have twins and same as you knew they were ID but not the sex. They would have been Elliot and Joseph if boys but are girls India and Matilda. I found it hard to find names that went together twin 2- Matilda was also called Zoe and Sophia for an hour each before we chose!
