Boy/girl twins - Elliott and?

117 replies

I’m 28 weeks with boy/girl twins. Since we found out we’ve been dead set on Elliott as a boys’ name. But we have no idea what to name our baby girl! We have a two and a half year old DD, Cleo, as well.

Any help?!

Instant thought was Elliot and Isabel.

But as we have similar taste in names:

Elliot and Iris
Elliot and Samara
Elliot and Nina

Lottie is a near anagram of Elliott.

Drew after Drew Barrymore who was in ET and the little boy in that was called Elliott. You still get the C D E

Another vote for Delilah brilliant together L sounds for 3 kids.
CDE is epic. Wish I had thought of some pattern. Haha.
Love the name Elliott my cousin used it before we had our boy so felt too close to use again.

I love Cleo, Elliot and Delilah - they sound perfect! I like that Delilah has the “L” sound of the other names without being too matchy - it’s a subtle link between the 3 names that makes them sound nice together. I like Dorothea, but a 4 syllable name is a bit of a mouthful for twins (as you often say the names together) and it doesn’t have the same “L” sound link as Cleo, Elliot and Delilah do.

We’re not religious, so this doesn’t impact us much

I was thinking of the song more tbh but I was trying to put you off without mentioning them 😬 She may get ‘My my my’ - the song isn't that pleasant. Look up the lyrics and see if you’re ok with that. The name is increasing in popularity so it’s clearly not putting everyone off.
