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

I would also add that you might avoid fairly long names with Elizabeth and Olivia as middles, but I wouldn't worry about that because most people are now fairly accustomed to long names and many institutions already expect people named Elizabeth Alexandra Mary coming into their establishment to get documents.

I absolutely love Anastasia, but doesn't work with any of your middle names. I also love Charlotte and Eleanor. I would do Charlotte Olivia instead of Charlotte Elizabeth, because of royal associations.

Charlotte Olivia &
Georgina Elizabeth
Sophie Elizabeth
Lillian Elizabeth
Florence Elizabeth
Matilda Elizabeth
Sienna Elizabeth
Alice Elizabeth
Amelia Elizabeth

other ideas instead of Charlotte
Isabel Olivia
Imogen Olivia
Marguerite Olivia
Harriet Olivia
Beatrix Olivia
Abigail Olivia
Felicity Olivia
any name not ending in -ah or -uh sounds fine with Olivia for me

You can of course mix and match my suggestions. I would avoid any variant of Isabel with Elizabeth because in some countries these are the same names.

Eleanor is my favourite girls name, so I'd go for that. Out of the rest I like Charlotte and Darcey best.

I like your first names, but Annabelle us better spelled as Annabel, and Darcey doesn’t fit the pattern at all, so that sticks out, not in a good way. Looks like you like longer names.

Caroline
Helena
Madeleine
Valentina
Genevieve
