Hi everyone, looking for some takes on baby names, my partner and I are expecting twins and we have a shortlist should they both be girls (we have decided to not know gender).

Our list right now is

Anna and Bella
Anna and Emma
Bella and Lola
or
Lola and Ruby

DH loves Lola and Ruby, I love Bella and Lola

so Lola seems to be the consistent, but we do like Anna and Bella and Anna and Emma.

Middle names will be Elena and Maria (family names).

The only issue is our surname start with B and we are worried Bella B… sounds a bit twee.

Our boys names are Finn and Rory, or Rory and …. If boy and girl.

Thoughts?

I don’t think Anna and Bella sound great together as Annabella is a name on its own.
I love Anna and Emma together though.
