Names for Eliza’s brother and sister

39 replies

Robs20 · 05/12/2019 15:06

I’ve found out today that we are having boy/ girl twins.

Dd1 is called Eliza. I am really struggling to think of names I love as much but want to think of some names to help me enjoy this pregnancy. To explain briefly why, Eliza died at the start of the year and I don’t get to say her name very often anymore.

For girls, I love the names Annie and Matilda. For boys, I have no idea!

Any suggestions please? Hopefully Eliza will give some ideas of the sorts of names I like.

I love so many of these. I think the new (long) shortlist is:
Annie
Matilda
Florence
Flora
Clara
Nancy
Martha
Madeleine

Max
Oscar
Jacob
Rupert
Toby
Henry

Quite a few of the names suggested are already taken by friends/ their children (Theo, Freya, Luca) but so many great options. Thank you :)

I’m so sorry that your lovely Eliza died.

Your name choices are lovely

Matilda Elizabeth is lovely. Annie is a lovely name too. Oscar for a boy is a great name.

Eliza, Matilda and Oscar
Eliza, Annie and Oscar
Eliza, Matilda and Max
Eliza, Annie and Max

All great choices

IckleBear · 07/12/2019 08:17

Alice and Luca
Freya and Jack
Sadie and Henry

Eliza is one of my favourite names. Smile
I was going to suggest Elettra, but not if Eliza is to be the middle name.

AuntieStella · 06/12/2019 19:39

You have great taste in names

I wouid suggest Anne Elizabeth and Alexander Charles; Annie and Alex

Leopardprintboots · 06/12/2019 16:47

I love “Matilda and Max” as a combo - think that sounds so cool x

Leopardprintboots · 06/12/2019 16:46

@Robs20 I love Oscar that’s a great choice for your little boy. Max and Jude are strong names too though with slight preference for Max over Jude.

Annie or Matilda are both perfect - slight preference for Matilda but love both

SundayMorningSun · 06/12/2019 15:26

Annie and Oscar is a wonderful combination! And then the three children all have vowel names, which is a lovely link but not at all matchy.

@NoSauce we don’t have a middle name for a boy. DH’s middle name is Charles and that is a family name so we could use that...

I'm so sorry to hear about Eliza.

I have an Eliza too, and her sister is Matilda. I think the names go lovely together. I think Oscar or Isaac for a boy would fit in nicely

NationMcKinley · 05/12/2019 22:06

Isaac for your son. It means he laughs. I am so sorry for your sad loss. I love the name Eliza, it’s beautiful and I’m sure she was too.

Sadly I have several friends who have lost babies and children. We say their names often.

Congratulations on your twins! How exciting! Flowers

NoSauce · 05/12/2019 22:01

Florence Eliza and Oscar? Do you have middle names for a boy?

bxua · 05/12/2019 22:00

@Robs20 I love Florence and Ernie

RexDangerVest · 05/12/2019 21:57

Annie & Oscar! ❤️

Florence Eliza

Forgot to say - I love the idea of honouring Eliza with girl twin’s middle name.
