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 !!

Isabella and
Felicity - 8 letters and 4 syllables
Georgina - 8 & 3 (perhaps Isabelle rather than Isabella so syllables match)
Jennifer - 8 & 3
Samantha - 8 & 3
Caroline - 8 & 3
Esmerelda - 9 & 4 (Izzy and Esme pronounced ez me rather than ez may)
Elizabeth - 9 & 4 or Elizabet for 8 & 4

I’m biased but I have a Madeline and an Isabella, and they work perfectly together IMO
