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 !!

I’ve just watched love actually so I’ve got a new suggestion -

Isabella and Aurelia

Calmdown14 · 17/12/2023 22:34

Emmaline and Isabella is a lovely suggestion (though I'd want to put them in alphabetical order!)
Emmy and Izzy - very cute but with proper grown up options

PrincessPeaches123 · 17/12/2023 22:34

Anything, so long as it doesn't end in 'a'

Annabelle or mirrabel, arabella?

Same number of letters is a but daft - he is naming people not doing an equation, but there are some - more if he’d settle for the same number of syllables..

Isabella and

Alicia
Rosaria
Carolina (8 letters!)
Alexandra
Cecilia
Seraphina (or Serafina for 8 letters)
Cordelia (8 letters)
Cornelia (8 letters)
Olympia
Leonora
Mariana or Marianna (8 letters)
Davinia
Lavinia
Dorothea
Theodora
Victoria (8 letters)
Catarina (8 letters)

Hermione (8 letters)
Felicity (8 letters)
Ariadne
Persephone

Keep Isabella ~ beautiful name with lot's of connotations such as "Bella", "Isy" etc.

Personally I think too many "a's" with Amelia, Sophia etc. I'd go for something a little shorter.

But please do what you want and enjoy your beautiful baby girls x

LauderSyme · 17/12/2023 22:21

I like Isabella and Sophia. I prefer both of them to Amelia.

Isabella and Constanzia
