I love Adeline and it goes beautifully with Margot.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 09/10/2023 17:00

Margot is awful sorry

MassageForLife · 09/10/2023 16:58

Don't go for Margot and Felicity!! People of a certain age will absolutely associate that with The Good Life.

I prefer Monroe to Margot, but that's because of The Good Life. Margot was just an awful character - but I don't think Monroe would be great with a really feminine name like Anastasia.

I love Margot but not Monroe sorry

Same.

Adeline is beautiful!

I like Margot.
I don't like Monroe at all, but especially not with Margot as they are too similar. Also rather Marilyn Monroe.

This totally. Marilyn Monroe. Yuck.

Margot and Adeline would be a great combination.

boysmuminherts · 09/10/2023 16:55

Margot and Adeline are lovely

CutiePatooties · 09/10/2023 16:55

Margot and Adeline is lovely ❤️

AffIt · 09/10/2023 16:54

Margot is a lovely name (I have an aunt by marriage from Belgium called Margot), but Monroe is awful, sorry.

What about Madeline?

Two girls with the same initials born on the same day can be a nightmare for a bunch of computer systems apparently. Give them more individual names, they're separate people.

LemonLight · 09/10/2023 16:52

Margot is lovely, Monroe is not to my taste. I love Anastasia, you can shorten that to Ana too. Not sure what you could shorten Margot to .. apart from Marge which just makes me think of the Simpsons! 😂 you might not want to have a shorten option though!

Scutterbug · 09/10/2023 16:51

Margot and Adeline go well together I think.

SleepingStandingUp · 09/10/2023 16:51

I wouldn't do shared initials. At some point the post will be to Miss M Ladady and you won't know who's is whose.

Margot is nice, Monroe is awful

slowsundays · 09/10/2023 16:51

Monroe is awful.

ildaogden · 09/10/2023 16:50

I always think ahead, when they are school age. M and M's or double aa batteries would be a no from me sorry

Fairospop22 · 09/10/2023 16:50

Adeline is beautiful. I would avoid Margot as I think that will be a popular name due to the barbie movie and would avoid Monroe as I hate surname names for first names

ErinAndTonic · 09/10/2023 16:50

Monroe is absolutely grim. Sorry!

Halfemptyhalfling · 09/10/2023 16:49

Would be better to have names with a theme rather than very similar names or names that start with same letter as then you can use initials to differentiate eg lunch boxes eg
Margot and Penelope ( Margot in the good life was played by Penelope Keith)
Monroe and Lloyd ( both surnames)

Ladady · 09/10/2023 16:41

Ok thank you. The other choice was Anastasia or Adeline for one of them

Margot and Adeline ❤️

tulipsunday · 09/10/2023 16:47

Yes to Margot and Adeline

ConchitaSmith · 09/10/2023 16:45

Margot and Adeline are gorgeous.

VickyEadieofThigh · 09/10/2023 16:45

Just agreeing with not giving twins the same initial on their first names - throws up problems later, as others have mentioned.

I had friends who were brothers born 3 years apart and both had the initials D R for their first and middle names. It caused them no end of bother.

bellsandwhistles333 · 09/10/2023 16:45

Margot and Adeline are beautiful together

Dramatic · 09/10/2023 16:45

Definitely don't go for the same initial, Adeline sounds lovely with Margot

Pottedpalm · 09/10/2023 16:44

Dacadactyl · 09/10/2023 16:38

Margot is nice. Monroe is God awful!
