Twin girl names??

59 replies

ARRRAGGH!! Help really need a sounding board.

We are having twin girls in July, had our boys names all sussed but don't really have a clue about girls.

Both quite like Verity and Amelie ?? but wondered if Verity was a very harsh name??

Also like Edie, but not sure about the other name??

Any ideas for twin girls??

Lovely

Those are lovely names sticky!

MadameCh0let · 22/03/2008 13:36

I love Verity. Amelie is too like EMily, and you can't put the number one name next to something unusual and quirky like Verity.

Verity and Romilly
Verity and Cecily

Those are my suggestions. Think they are a bit more matched in style and popularity.

Hello everyone

Thought i would come and update, hope thats okay.

Am 23 + 2 with my precious twinnie girls now and we have decided on their names, we are going for Edie and Lana - middle names being Jayne and Grace. Hope they like/suit them?

Thanks so much for everyones input. We are keeping it a secret from the real world, but just wanted to "tell" someone.

Ooh, my fantasy twin girl names are Linnet & Wren. Doubt I'd be allowed them (or the twins at that matter.)

I'm afraid I don't like Verity either...but I do love Amelie/Amelia.

How about...

  • Amelie and Eloise (My persoal favourite combo. Both 3 syllable French names and very pretty )
  • Amelie and Celeste
  • Amelie and Aurora
  • Amelia and Elysia
  • Amelia and Ilona
  • Amelie and Louisa

What d'ya think ?

cadelaide · 10/03/2008 16:37

Oh, sorry, you've moved on!

cadelaide · 10/03/2008 16:37

Verity, Amelie, Edie.....all lovely I think.
Verity's not at all harsh.

EffiePerine · 10/03/2008 16:36

actually Constance is growing on me a LOT (adds to hypothetical list for hypothetical DC2)

Verity already there but DH not keen

EffiePerine · 10/03/2008 16:35

or Eleanor and Rose go nicely together
Grace and Jane (much underrated name IMO)

ivykaty44 · 10/03/2008 16:34

Don't do "ee" on the end of both names, one "ee" on the end of a name is ok but not both.

So not Verity and Felicity for example.

For some reason when you call one girl the other will hear the -ee and come running as well (well in our case shout "yeah")

EffiePerine · 10/03/2008 16:29

I love Verity. Not sure about Amelie, what about Grace (tho v popular) or Constance?

Sarahjct · 10/03/2008 16:27

I love Verity too (Poldark fan here!) but dh wouldn't have it because he said it was too similar to Felicity, and he hates that!

TwoFirTreesToday · 09/03/2008 09:27

Love Verity! Very Poldark Means truth doesnt it? I would follow your instinct with names, if you like it stick with it.

Phillipa (pippa)
Penelope (penny)

Eleanor
Alexandra

Faith
Hope

Temperance
Patience

ok getting silly now lol

charleymouse · 09/03/2008 00:51

Hi a friend has Estelle and Amelie although not twins. Think they go well together. One suggestion I heard was to call the younger twin the name that is first alphabetically so they are first in something IYSWIM. Did not do this myself though as DH named them as they popped out.
