Middle names

My sister and her DH have got their choice of names down to five - she is having twin girls in 3 months. The names are

Amelia
Phoebe
Clara
Josie
Isla

They are now trying to think of middle names to go with each of these names before they eliminate three of them!! Any ideas?

why don't they use 2 of those names as middle names? then they only have to eliminate one

Fantastic combinations of names. I think they will only use two names for each baby but these names give them lots of choice. Thanks everybody. Will e-mail my sis tomorrow with these suggestions. She is not on here.

Why don't they chose middle names with a family significance? It's a great way to honour grandma/great-aunt/mum and as it's a middle name it won't be actually used, so it doesn't matter if it's not completely your taste.

Ds has his grandfather's/uncle's name as a middle name, dd1 has nana's/great-gran's and dd2 has mine (cos I like my name!).

I think all these suggestions are gorgeous and will be sharing them with my sister. Will let you know what they decide.
