Hiya everyone,
I’m due twins in a few weeks time and we still haven’t settled on any names! We don’t know the genders and so need girl and boy name suggestions, they are fraternal too so could be any ‘combination’! Please can we have some opinions on the following names and any other suggestions:
Girls:
Lucy
Beatrix
Charlotte (although I don’t like the nn’s)
Anna
Jemima
Juliet
Boys:
Luke
James
Joseph (although I don’t like Joe)
Thank you so much! xx

Yes we will definitely avoid giving them the same initial, thank you to the pp who mentioned that.
any more suggestions would be appreciated!

I’d avoid giving them both the same initial. I made that mistake and now we never know who incoming post is for! 🤣 All lovely names you’ve listed.
