Help name twins

Hi,
As you can see, we’re expecting twins, due in a month! We’ve got some ideas for names but just coming on here to see if anyone can offer some help. We already have a son, Alexander Nicholas John nn Xander and a daughter, Stella Amelia Blythe. Our general formula for middle names is a longer 1st middle name, and a family name for the 2nd middle name, although this isn’t set in stone. We are not sure what we’re having, so have to come up with 2 boys names and 2 girls!

For boys, our favourite names are:
Louis
Nathanial nn Nate
Theo
Leo
Frederick nn Freddie
With middle names Sebastian Miles and Arthur James

and for girls, we’ve struggled to come up with names, but we like:
Juliet
Esme
Lucinda nn Lucy
Rose (my middle name so think this would be nice to include)
Lyra
Sophie (family name)
Lily (maybe with Lillian as a long name)
With middle names Flora Katherine and Daisy Ellen (Daisy from family name Margaret, but we’ve found that the -y ending often doesn’t flow well )

Any thoughts on which names flow best with our middle names or suggestions of other names would be great, but if you don’t like lots of our names, please try not to say anything because I don’t want to loose confidence in them! X

I like Lucinda Sophie Rose if you wanted to use more first name options as middle names.

I like Lyra Daisy Ellen too.

For boys I prefer Frederick Arthur James and Leo /Louis Sebastian Miles.

For two boys I'd choose Nathaniel Arthur James and Leo Sebastian Miles

For girls Lyra Daisy Katherine and Rose Flora Ellen. I think they go better this way

For one each I'd go Nathaniel Sebastian Arthur and Lyra Katherine Flora

I’d go with Louis as a definite boy name. I don’t think many of your other names go with Louis. Maybe Freddie if two boys,

I think with Xander and Stella - I’d avoid more names ending in the a or er sound.

So I’d go back to the drawing board with your other names in the running,

I love Juliet and Lillian; Casper and Frederick with your other kids, and just like them!

Lem0nDrizzle · 23/04/2022 17:47

Louis Sebastian Miles & Nathanial Arthur James

Lucinda Daisy Ellen & Juliet Flora Katherine

Whiskeypowers · 23/04/2022 17:43
