Girl twins names

Hi,
Due twin girls in around 8 weeks time and my husband and I are having a really hard time deciding on names we both like.
We don't want anything that is too matchy and would prefer them to start with different letters.

We do like the following names :
Felicity
Piper
Wren
Penelope

Does anyone have any other suggestions that are similar? Or even completely different Grin

I never considered how hard it would be to name 2 people for the rest of their lives Confused

Felicity and Penelope are the ones that go best imo, but the individual names I prefer from your list are Penelope and Wren. However Penny and Wren contain the same sound. If Penelope was shortened to Nell, Nell and Wren are gorgeous together.

Penelope and Felicity work beautifully together. Not keen at all on Wren and Piper.

Felicity and Wren.

Piper means blow job in several European languages, and Penelope sounds like a fish flopping around on a wet wharf.

Penelope and Felicity came to mind before I opened your post - I think they sound so lovely together.

AliceMcK · 08/01/2022 00:17

If I was to have twin girls they would be Imelda and Orla.

Violet and Ivy
Iris and Willow
Peony and Rose
Poppy and Daisy
Robin and Wren
Fawn and Autumn
Fern and Hazel

I love nature names Grin

KirstenBlest · 07/01/2022 08:53

I like Julie too, and Gail.
I also like Sandy short for Alexandra.

I think they are due a comeback

I know a Juliette and she gets called Julie even though she doesn't want to, and I know a Julie who gets Julianne or Juliana quite often

BlueFlavour · 07/01/2022 08:43

@SingingSands
I love Julie. Sounds so fresh and chic. Also like Gail.

SingingSands · 06/01/2022 22:17

Audrey
Helen
Natalie

*my current personal faves for my hypothetical twin girls Grin

And congratulations!
