Twin with Thomas

40 replies

My husband and I are expecting twins in late July- One boy and one girl. The boys name will be Thomas as it is a family name. (My uncle, granddad and cousins). We are unsure what to name our daughter, I like Sapphire and Frances (Frankie as a nickname). Any suggestions?

I like Frances/Frankie but not so keen on Frances with Thomas as sound quite samey. I really like Rose for Thomas' twin. Maeve is also s lovely suggestion.

Jossina · 04/03/2020 04:30

Thomas and Cora sound fantastic.

Mish85 · 04/03/2020 01:13

I think Thomas and Rose or Rosa goes really well.

I also don't think Thomas goes with sapphire. I feel it would be better tradition. For some reason E names popped into my head.

I've actually got a Sienna and an Alfie so I've got a different type for each. But they are not twins.

Geraldine or Geraldina

I think Elizabeth be lovely with Thomas!

Tom & Lizzy would be a very cool sounding set of twins imho!

Francesca is nice and goes with Thomas. Sapphire is awful, different vibe altogether.

Nonnymum · 12/02/2020 11:45

Frankie is nice but personally I prefer Francesca or Francine to Frances.
Congratulations!

ZoeandChandon · 12/02/2020 11:45

Elise

I don’t think your girls names are of the same genre as Thomas. It’s a classic, timeless name and Sapphire definitely isn’t! I think Thomas goes with the elizabeth, Sophie, Emma, Emily, Isobel type names.

firesong · 11/02/2020 23:22

Aw, I like Sapphire! And the names don't really have to "match", the twins will be people with their own lives as well as they grow up.

DramaAlpaca · 11/02/2020 23:13

It's a bit obvious calling a twin Thomas.

We haven't had a Sapphire thread for a while.

Emthebaker · 11/02/2020 21:56

Maeve
Amelia
Felicity
Marnie
Tessa
Saffron
Matilda

I always think it’s nice to use similar letters for twin / sibling names.. makes a nice pair without being too matchy. Good luck! Flowers

NoSauce · 11/02/2020 20:55

Lucy.

Yika · 11/02/2020 20:18

Frances is beautiful.

Sapphire isn't really in the same style I think.

How about Sara, Sasha, Saskia?

What about an alliterative name:
Thomas and Tessa
Thomas and Tamara
Etc
