Baby names for twins (when you have 12 other DC)

[zippy101]

I need advice, for the first time ever I am stuck for baby names. I have 12 other children and my dh is less than helpful when it comes to names.
We know our twins are non-identical but don't know the sex so need 2 girls names and two boys names!

My ideas for girls so far are - Clara, Amelia, Mhairi , Willow , violet but don't like vi as nn, and scarlet.
For boys- Edward, Alexander, Joseph, Finley and that's about it.

Open to suggestions! :)

Wow, wow and wow!! 14 kids.. woah!

What are your current children's names?

I like all of your names on the lists.

Joe and Clara

Out of your suggestions I like

Clara and Amelia
Edward and Joseph
Joseph and Amelia

Also like
Alistair, Samuel, Jacob
Arabella, Tessa, Tamara

Wow and wow again.

I vote Edward & Clara.

Edward & Clara
Finlay & Mhairi (have to spell Finlay the Scottish way for this set)
Alexander & Amelia

What are your other children called?

My favourite combinations of the names you give are
Edward and CLara
Clara and Willow
Edward and Joseph

Yes, I'm intrigued to hear your 12 other chn's names! I like Violet and Alexander.

NormanNorris- my other 12 are called,
Madeline 'maddie'
Sophia
Felicity 'fliss'
Thomas 'tom'
Benjamin 'ben/benji'
Juliet (but such a tom-boy so nn jools)
Jacob 'jake'
Alfie
Oliver 'ollie'
Izabella 'izzy/bella'
Lola
Noah

I also like the name Kate. What are the thoughts on this?

love love kate!! and love your other names too! do you have other twins?

violet is lovely and she could be lotty.

14 kids. Really?

Wow! Kudos on 14 children love all of your names for the twins and all of your DC's names too!

I think my favourites are Amelia, Kate and Scarlet for the girls and Joseph and Edward for the boys.

how about Thirteen and Fourteen?

Kate is great, Willow is truly awful.

Otherwise, no strong feelings, it's a good list. You have 12 great names so far, don't cock it up with something silly now?!?!?

Mhairi I love, but you have to "know" it to avoid pronouncing and spelling it your whole life (do you really want to put your poor kid through that????)

Oh and congrats BTW!!!

I like Amelia for a girl, would have to choose willow as second choice from your list.
Love Alexander and Joseph, but really do notlike the name Finlay- sorry but so many of them around!

Do you have other multiples? Your 12 names are all very current considering that they must date from the last 12 years at least.

I like Kate too. And Catherine.
Congrats.

Mhari is my middle name and I LOATHED having to explain it when I was younger "it's Gaelic, the m and the h make a v, yada yada yada"

Unless you are scottish of course in which case I would guess it would be more widely recognised :)

Wow! Congratulations! I love Joseph and Linden (too much Holby? Never!). Kate and Holly (when are you due?). Edward and Sophie (too royal?)

Kate and Amelia
Alexander and Joseph
Alexander and Kate

stressheaderic- no these will be my first set of multiples. Yes they are popular names now, Madeline was my favourite name since I was a little girl. And my husband chose Sophia and we both just loved Felicity.I think Thomas, Benjamin and Juliet are classic names and are always around. The rest have been born in the last 6 years so the names were quite current when I picked them.

I think Mhairi is a no go now. I'm not Scottish so...!

Kate is definitely growing on me I mentioned it to dh and he liked it too so I think this is maybe a definite!

sobloodystupid- I am due 16/04/2011 so have a while yet!

I think Kate is alittle bit boring compared to all your other children's names, I dont think she'll be happy with you about that choice when she grows up, especially as her sisters have great pretty names like Juliet,Isabella and Sophia

just going on the fact that your current girls tend to have french/ Italian names how about Gabrielle/ Gabriella or Dominique?

or even alessia, nicole, danielle/a, simone, sasha,
