Help! Name for second twin girl

39 replies

Havifus · 28/01/2023 20:28

Hi all,

I am 30 weeks pregnant with twin girls. One of which will be called Irena - that’s non negotiable.

I have a toddler boy called Raphael.

Children have a Persian/Burmese hertitage and will more than likely have olive skin, dark hair and eyes. My boy really does.

please help me pick a name for my second twin. At the moment we are edging towards Yasmin due to its person nature. Outing to our surname but its Persian and 4 syllables.

love biblical names!!

Irena and Zahra

I wouldn't use Seren or Renee with Irena, but too similar.

Hi, thank you so much for your replies. I too like Jasmine however I love Yasmin for its Persian background.

i wouldn’t mind opinions on the rest of our list. We both don’t agree in some way on these others compared to Yasmin

Imani
Renee (Ren)
Alia
Seren

Seren came to my head before I saw the rest of your list.

My DD went to nursery with a Seren and she's the only Seren I've met.

I absolutely love the name Faeza, I think it is beautiful. I work with an adult called Faeza and she is fierce and impressive, I have met a 3 year old Faeza and it suited her too. Her mum called her Faezy for short and it was very cute.

Mitra & Hita were Persian sisters I knew when young. There are a lot of fab female Persian names.

Yasmin is quite nice, although I prefer Jasmine
