Im having twins, two girls and were thinking Clementine Catherine and Olive Odette. We like the matching fruit names, and Odette and Clementine both have French origin. Are they okay names? *Typo in the post. I meant Tell me my kids names arent going to be that bad

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

I agree with the above it’s a bit matching for twins. Both lovely names but maybe not together. Though Clementine and Odette sounds great.
Have you thought about Ottilie and Clementine?
We have a Clemence and a Margot. Both French but not matching. Also our Clemence is 100% Clemmie most of the time!

I like Cici and Olivia as Nn. Not wild about Olive (oil).

Haribosweets · 31/01/2026 03:04

Sorry but awful for first names. Have fruit names as middle but not first. Olivia and Catherine are good alternate as first. Just think when they are older and schools etc.

LivingTheDreamish · 31/01/2026 02:56

I like all the names individually but I do think you may live to regret Clementine and Olive (and they may not thank you either). It's just a bit twee.

Clementine and Odette perhaps?

MsSmartShoes · 31/01/2026 00:19

All of the names are lovely in any combination.

DearDenimEagle · 31/01/2026 00:17

I do like Odette..classy

DearDenimEagle · 31/01/2026 00:14

Olive Oyl comes to mind..or an olive in plumbing…Olivia is better for me but your kid , Clementine ..Winston Churchill comes to mind and I prefer satsumas, but your kids your choice . I’d not pick any of those tbh but I’m not mum to girls …you do you . The girls will choose versions for themselves, eventually

I absolutely agree with this.

Show quote history

Me too .

olive is just not a pretty name.
odette and Otti are.

PragmaticIsh · 30/01/2026 13:18

Odette and Catherine and Clementine are lovely, Olive is not.

Better to have
Odette Catherine
Clementine Olivia

I absolutely agree with this.

Oh that’s so sweet, if you go on to have a bigger family their sisters could be Peaches and Strawberry

What about Dragonfruit and Banana?

Pettenell · 30/01/2026 23:27

Clementine is wonderful, but I don't like Olive, so if I were the twin called Olive I'd feel I had the raw end of the deal. Clementine and Odette would be fantastic.
To rearrange, I'd use Clementine Olive and Odette Catherine, but that doesn't evenly distribute the fruit, which is the whole point.

But to answer your question, no, they are not going to be that bad.

RachTheAlpaca · 30/01/2026 23:13

Switch the middle names around
The alliteration is too much, you're trying too hard to match 'twin' names, but they're 2 different people

LittlePinkDinosaur · 30/01/2026 22:59

Personally I don't find any of those names offensive, but I'm not a fan of the alliteration despite having alliterative first and middle names myself!.Clementine Catherine is a bit of a mouthful. Mine is 3 syllable, 1 syllable which doesnt feel as much. Agree also about Olive being a bit drab in comparison to Clementine. (The fact it's a fruit went over my head too.. they're not sweet!). I'd probably go with Clementine Olive and Catherine Odette (with 5 syllables) and you could shorten to Clemmie and Katie or Clem and Cat as they get older.

Edited

Or if you didn't want them both to be CO surname, you could have Clementine Olive and Odette Catherine - Clemmy and Etty (not a fan of the nn Odie..wasn't he a frenemy of Garfield the cat?)

Giraffehaver · 30/01/2026 22:59

I love these names! Love the fruit and alliteration

sunflower85 · 30/01/2026 22:44

Everything sounds lovely except Clementine, which in itself sounds lovely, but shortened as Clem or Clemmy sounds like an STI

godmum56 · 30/01/2026 22:41

sorry but no. They are individuals and not collectible soft toys. Please don't "match" or "theme" them and sorry but no to the alliteration as well.

Skybluepinky · 30/01/2026 22:41

Poor child who is lumbered with Olive the bane of the ugly one from on the buses.

Terfarina · 30/01/2026 22:27

Personal taste - I find alliterative names horribly twee.

if I were the twin named Olive I’d feel like the ugly sister to glamorous Clementine

YourWinter · 30/01/2026 22:15

Olive is just awful, maybe ok for a dog but don’t lumber a child with it. Olivia if you must. Ophelia is nicer.

Clementine is pretty awful too, what about Clemency. Claire is better though, but you can’t have Catherine Claire without someone remembering Jackie magazine!

Lights22 · 30/01/2026 22:11

Clemtine Catherine and Odette Olive for me.
Your babies, your choice though x

NewDogOwner · 30/01/2026 22:09

Matchy fruit and alliteration = too try hard which is never classy. Just the first names or , even better, just the middle names as first names. They are really pretty.

Bamboozledbylife · 30/01/2026 22:09

I like olive but that's it! Hate the OO CC combo. Also wouldn't think of olive as a fruit.

Nichelette · 30/01/2026 22:08

I personally think the alliteration is a bit much, but they're your kids. The first names alone aren't bad though Clementine is a bit of a mouthful.
