Isabella and ? - 10 day old twins

242 replies

twinsimamma · 17/12/2023 19:26

My twin girls are now 10 days old and still effectively nameless.
We are pretty set on Isabella for one baby but baby 2 is nameless.
We don't care about popularity but do want the names to feel like they go well together (I know some people don't care about this but we do). DH would like them to have the same number of letters/syllables but I'm less fussed on that.

So far we've tried but not adored
Madeline
Florence (hard no)
Amelia (leading favourite, but DH doesn't like that it's shorter)
Savannah (I'm not a fan)
Sophia
Florissa (totally different vibe and I don't love it!)

At this point I'm thinking we scrap Isabella as a name and go for Amelia and Sophia (DH would be fine with this as he just wants same number of letters etc.) but I do love Isabella ... help !!

Congratulations on your babies.

My Isabella has sisters called Susannah and Philippa.

Beautiful choices. Congratulations OP!

Lovely names - the ones that just “feel right” are the ones you should choose.
Congratulations ! 🍾🥂

Let us know what you go for 🤩

I think we have settled for Amelia and Isabella, nothing else felt quite right and DH has agreed to get over his need for matching letters!!

Isabella and Beatrice was my first thought and I think they sound beautiful together 😍

Vittoriosa · 19/12/2023 19:08

Not same letters but I think Isabella and Elena sounds beautiful together.

Isabella and Alexandra?
Isabella and Mariella?

YYURYYUCICYYUR4ME · 18/12/2023 15:21

Imogen / Imogene?

Biscuitsneeded · 18/12/2023 15:16

For 8 letters and 4 syllables:
Marianna
Eleanora
Emmelina
Katarina
Angelina
For a different number of letters but a syllable match:
Henrietta
Pollyanna
Josephina
Annabella (then you could have Issy and Annie)

I'm sorry but two babies and ten days - how have you managed so far?

Can you feed her? Which one? That one over there?

🤣🤣🤣

I am going to be literally no help here, but yesterday I met sisters (4 & 5) named Isabella and Emilia. I literally thought it was the cutest thing ever!

Rebecca
Melissa
Marissa
Saskia
Corina
Eliana
Violetta
Roseanna

Felicity, Victoria and Theadora from PP work well.
If number of syllables doesn't matter, Rosalind and Madeline are both nice with 8 letters.

I also really like Katerina nn Kitty. Kitty and Bella or Kitty and Izzy.

TheWayOfTheWorld · 18/12/2023 05:13

Isabella and Rebecca

sashh · 18/12/2023 05:05

How about Isabella Sophia and Amelia with a middle name that has 8 letters? Maybe Amelia Victoria?
