Greek Twin Names!

My husband and I are having twins in July!! We’ve already decided on our sons name, Christos, as it’s my FIL’s name:) I’ve always loved it and think there are some really cute nicknames for it (Stos). We’re seriously struggling with our daughter though. Nothing seems to fit with his name. I don’t want anything TOO Greek. We were thinking of Alexia but I’m just not fully 100% sure! Our last name is Katsaros!

Calista?

Christos Katsaros is such a strong, striking name. Can you find something equally strong for his twin? So many of the girls' names here are really lovely but quite a lot softer.

My Greek friend is called Charikleia - she goes by Hara as a nickname.

I've known a few Alexias in the UK, I really think it's fine.

Daphne
Alexandra (could go Alexandria if you wanted the -ia ending from Alexia)
Alethea
Eleni

Christos is gorgeous.

Christos and Penelope
Christos and Calliope

😍

I think Calliope is a lovely name but I think it might cause problems in the UK in a way that other Greek or Greek-adjacent names wouldn’t. Different if the OP is planning to move to Greece/Cyprus, obvs.

StrawberryWasp · 22/04/2026 20:35

Christos is gorgeous.

Christos and Penelope
Christos and Calliope
