DH and I are expecting twin girls very soon, we can't decide which pairing we love more so seeking some opinions options are

Anna & Clara or Annabel & Madeline

Thoughts?

I actually think Anna and Madeline, and Clara and Annabelle make better sounding sets :)
All lovely names.

I prefer the simplicity of Anna and Clara.

I like the name Annabel also, but Madeline conjures up the McCann abduction and also dislike the nn Maddy.

All lovely names!
I went with Annabel and Madeline, but personally prefer the Madeleine spelling/pronunciation. Love the nicknames Anna, Annie and Maddie. Clara as a standalone name is my least favourite from your options (just!).

ladycarlotta · 21/07/2024 18:04

I don't really like Annabel - always feels quite Sloaney 80s to me - so I'd go Anna and Clara or Clara and Madeleine. Anna and Madeleine would be lovely too.

Weyward · 20/07/2024 22:28

I quite like Clara and Madeleine

EkinAndDave · 20/07/2024 22:20

I would go with Annabelle and Madeleine. Both 9 letters, so no arguments over that when they’re older! 😂

Good luck with your babies x

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/07/2024 21:41

Prefer Annabel and Madeleine but think Clara and Madeleine would be even better

Fontainebleau007 · 20/07/2024 17:20

Annabel and Madeline

trainboundfornowhere · 19/07/2024 23:09

Annabel and Madeleine

Annabel and Madeleine.

The first is too like the engines from Thomas the Tank Engine.

Plus Annabel and Madeleine is a gorgeous twin combo.

Moreteaandchocolate · 19/07/2024 19:09

Love both!! Gorgeous name ideas 😊 I voted for Anna and Clara as they’re two of my favourite names and they sound lovely together 😊

Useruserdoubleuser · 19/07/2024 19:02

What lovely names. Hard choice but went with the less frilly option.

MumChp · 19/07/2024 18:58

Anna and Clara is a Søstrene Grene thing but of course every name has a connection to something.

bravotango · 19/07/2024 18:58

Clara and Madeleine

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 19/07/2024 18:56

Anna and Clara

Firsttimebabymummy · 19/07/2024 18:54

Anna and Clara

rainbowsparkle28 · 19/07/2024 17:56

Anna and Clara.

Toddlerteaplease · 19/07/2024 17:47

Annabelle and Clara are lovely. But like a PP. it sounds like the carriages in Thomas the Tank.

PerkyMintDeer · 19/07/2024 17:46

Annabel and Clara definitely sounds like the best option to me.

Username1010 · 19/07/2024 17:10

Anna and Clara. Or Anna and Madeline.

Annabelle is too frilly by far.

FlutteryButterfly · 19/07/2024 17:07

Anna and Clara

SausageRoll2020 · 19/07/2024 17:02

I think Anna and Clara are the fictional sisters used in Sostrene grene marketing....

I like Clara best of the four, but they are all nice classic names.

Clara and Annabel sounds like the best combo to my ear.

Uiommpourting · 19/07/2024 17:01

I love Anna, it’s so classy. ❤️

CrumbleTots · 19/07/2024 17:01

Annabel and Madeline, because the other two are too similar, and Clara and Anna is really hard to say, and it's not fair if Anna always comes first!
