Stuck on baby names for twin girls

38 replies

Thetwinsmummy02 · 05/02/2023 12:36

Hello,
Me and my husband are expecting twin girls in about 9 weeks time and are really stuck on baby names. We would rather have 2 names that aren’t too matchy ideally (not rhyming or starting with the same letter). Their middle names will be Olivia and Elizabeth which are family names.
Names we like so far but don’t love:
Charlotte
Anastasia
Darcey
Eleanor
Annabelle
Open to any suggestions and opinions on these names. Thanks x

Clara and Eliza
Melanie and Elizabeth

Charlotte and Anna go with your middle names. Congratulations we had twin girls last year and they both have the grandma's as middle names so we picked shorter for first as didnt sound right with longer ones Ava and Hanna.

If I had 2 girls now I would call them Rowan and Vivienne.

Kittybelle123 · 10/02/2023 17:14

@Fivebeanchilli exactly what I was going to suggest - Charlotte Olivia and Eleanor Elizabeth / vice versa.

Beautiful and classic names and not too similar.

Eloisalily · 10/02/2023 17:08

Verity and Violet

Verity Olivia
Violet Elizabeth

KayEmAy · 10/02/2023 17:05

Alexandra Olivia

Maxine Elizabeth

Charlotte Elizabeth and Eleanor Olivia or Charlotte Olivia and Eleanor Elizabeth are both beautiful.
Darcey doesn't fit too well with the other names.
Annabel is nice. Anastasia is interesting.
How about:
Anya
Harriet
Beatrice
Polly
Meredith
Tabitha
Constance

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/02/2023 22:12

Olivia and Elizabeth are very nice

Charlotte - lovely but done to death
Anastasia - v fussy
Darcey - the Tracy of the 2020s
Eleanor - nice but done to death
Annabelle - Ok, prefer Annabel or just Anna

Anna/Ana Elizabeth and Charlotte Olivia sound best, I think. I love Eleanor from your list also.

Other suggestions:

Emma
Frances
Nora/Norah
Martha
Ruth
Kate

ScruffMuffin · 05/02/2023 20:02

Charlotte and Darcey are lovely and work well with the middle names. Your other names are nice but make for too many syllables. How about:

Lauren
Jennifer
Jenny
Annie
Anna
Hannah
Rosanne/a
Georgia
Catherine
Louise/a
Florence
Nell
Josephine
Josie
Constance
Connie

JussathoB · 05/02/2023 19:01

All the names in your list are lovely but Anastasia and other names with four syllables are quite long to say and when you mention both your daughters together it’s going to be a bit of a mouthful and will likely result in you and everyone else shortening them. How would you feel about that

Jessica Elizabeth
Charlotte Olivia

palelavender · 05/02/2023 18:35

DamnAllTheJellyfish · 05/02/2023 16:02

I always liked the names Charlotte and Harriet as a sib set, don't sound too matchy matchy but both end with that ett sound so tie in.

I'd go with
Charlotte Olivia and Harriet Elizabeth

Blessedtobeamum · 05/02/2023 14:59

Based on the names you like, I would go with Charlotte and Annabelle.
Charlotte Olivia and Annabelle Elizabeth.

Holly03 · 05/02/2023 14:51

Sienna Elizabeth
serena Olivia
or
maddison Elizabeth
lily Olivia

momtoboys · 05/02/2023 14:47

The names you have so far are lovely. If either of our sets of twins were girls they were going to be named Maeve and Maura. I didn’t intentionally choose two M names, they were just names we both liked and they seemed to go well together.
