twin girl names

Hi all,
I've got twin girls coming in not long as all, and hubby and I just cannot agree on names.
My personal favourite is Hallie and my husband's is Bella but I don't love the two together.
We've gone back and forth with a few ideas, neither of us too sure though, they are:
Indie & Esme
Evie & Ella
Scarlett & Sienna
Starting to stress if you can't tell, and any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hallie and Bella are great. I think the double L links them as twins without being matchy-matchy.

Another vote for Hallie and Bella

Very popular for dogs too, it’s no.1.

There are 18 girls in one of the classes where I work. 6 of them are called Isobel, Isabella or Bella! So the dog name thing is a bit outdated. It's very popular for human children!

I think you should go with Hallie and Bella. You both love the names. They go together fine. And they are distinct individual names which is much better than 'matchy names'.

MyOtherUsernameIsDave · 18/03/2023 16:12

Evie and Ella are just boring and sooooooo overused, sorry. Every other girl at school is an Evie.

I like Hallie and Indie. Bella is a dogs name.

Name one each. You could each give the opposite twin their middle name.

Hallie and Bella are the best combination, although I like Indie. Please don't pick names that sound alike or start with the same initial.

I agree with PP's - Hallie and Bella is really lovely to me and then you both get your favourite names. If you really don't like them together then:

Indie and Esme - It's okay, I love Esme but Indie doesn't seem proper to me. Indigo or India wold be nicer with Indie as the nickname
Evie and Ella - Far too matchy together, and much too plain as individual names.
Scarlett and Sienna - I'd avoid same initial names for twins at least. They are nice names on their own though

Hallie and Bella are lovely together!!

Definitely Hallie and Bella. You like them, and they go well together, so ... problem solved!

Congratulations on your coming twinsters 😊

Scarlett and Bella

Whatames · 18/03/2023 15:42

Hallie and Bella are fine…but I really like Indie and Esmee

ComeOnYouSummer · 18/03/2023 15:39

Hallie and Bella sound the best together. The others are too matchy.

mathanxiety · 18/03/2023 15:38

Agree - Hallie and Bella sound great together.

Lovely names and not matchey though they both have the same vibe - not fussy or frilly but still feminine. I think they're ideal for twins.

You name one, H names the other.

I think Hallie and Bella sound lovely together. You may regret compromising.
