Twin girl names

Hello all.
My boyfriend and I are expecting twin girls! We had the names Violet and Hazel picked out and were so set on them, but then for some reason - I don’t actually know why? - I just completely went off the names. I can’t explain why I did, but they just don’t feel right at all now.
So now we are back to square one!
We can’t think of anything or agree on any names now.
I already have an Eden Grace and Zoë Nicole from my previous marriage, so I can’t use either of those names.
Also not keen on Lily, Leah, Amelia, Ellie/Ella, Sophia, Isla, Ava, Evie or Poppy as they are all very overused names around where I live.

We want something ‘normal sounding’ - nothing TOO unique or “out there”, and nothing TOO old fashioned.

The last name/father’s name is one syllable and begins with W.
Please help!

Ooh what are the new names you’ve chosen? Are either from suggestions here?

@TatianaBis

Love Violet and Hazel. I think your pregnancy hormones are leading you astray.
Excuse me?? What a ridiculous, bizarre and untrue thing to say! I just went off the names, it had nothing to do with my hormones or anything “leading me astray”! 🤨

We have now chosen new names that we love.
Thank you everyone else for the sensible responses and ideas!

I love the first suggestion of Anya and Kitty!

Ivy was the first name that leapt out at me.

Annabelle and Madeleine
Sophia and Helena

JuneJustRains · 01/07/2021 10:00

Not Chloe with Zoë, though!

Rose or Rosa is great.

I also like the ‘matchy but different initial’ sound of DC’s twin friends Georgie and Jess. Would also work with, say, Clara and Katy.
