Sapphire and .....!!!!!

I need help and fast! I am due a week today, I am pregnant with fraternal twins, two girls :)
But here is where my problems begin.
I have always always loved the name Sapphire, I just love everything about and there is nothing anyone can say to put me off. My imaginary DD was always going to be Sapphire but now I'm having 2 !!!
I just can't find another girls name I like equally and don't want to do with second best as whichever child is named Sapphire seems favouritism. I have considered discounting Sapphire all together but I can't bring myself to do it.
I have two DS's called Sol and Flint... if that helps.

Please help me time is running out!!

My dogs are called Saffy (Sapphire) and Ruby. Not terribly helpful, I know!

I've just realised, you are due within days Soll81! Let us know when the girls are born!

Sapphire and Celeste was my favourite! I love all the "celestial" names!

From your shortlist I like Sapphire and Arora best.

I really like Sapphire and Bluebell. Also I love Azeala, whoever mentioned that.

Ok we have reached some sort of decision.
We have the following names

Sapphire Rose and Estella Lily

or

Sapphire Rose and Bluebell Tania

Rose is my DH's mothers names and Lily is my grandmother's name and Tania is the name of my best friend who sadly died several years ago, so all middle names have a connection and I think go very well with our Surname.

Having a few twinges today, just really hope they don't come today as its my DS2 fourth birthday and I don't think twin Sisters is a birthday present he would want!

How exciting! I really hope the birth goes well.

tebbles · 08/01/2011 14:24

That is really nice!

I really like Saffy and Stella for nicknames!

Firawla · 08/01/2011 15:17

Sapphire Rose and Estella Lily go together really nicely

boodleboot · 08/01/2011 15:58

Sol, Flint, Sapphire and Ebony?

allbie · 08/01/2011 16:32

Thank you everybody for all your help and suggestions we are going to wait until they arrive and see if Estella or Bluebell suit her best!

Shouldn't be long now actually as I'm pretty sure I'm having contractions...

Esmerelda?
Esperanza?

AnnOnimous · 09/01/2011 20:27

Good luck, hope it all goes well for you, and for the two babies.

Wishing you an easy, and short, labour.

ShoppingDays · 09/01/2011 20:29

Good luck!

MistleToad · 09/01/2011 20:47

OOh how exciting!

Wishing you lots of luck and good birthing vibes!

Do come back and tell all.......!

TheMonster · 09/01/2011 20:49

Estella or Celeste get my vote for the other twin.
Let us know when they are here!

AnnOnimous · 09/01/2011 21:13

I like Sapphire and Serena.

Impers7 · 09/01/2011 21:22

A friend of a friend has twins and one of them is called Esther Aurora, which I think is lovely (can't for the life of me remember what the other one's called though!). I think that works well with Sapphire (which is a beautiful name by the way!)

I can't really think of any others which work better than those which have already been suggested - I have such a lack of imagination!

chipmonkey · 09/01/2011 22:49

Ooooh contractions!!! Exciting!

vickster11 · 09/01/2011 22:57

I like the idea of a gem could only think of three that goes with it;

Alexandrite - green colour gem.

Jade - come in three different colours

tanzanite - blue colour gem

chipmonkey · 09/01/2011 23:31

Jade is now a bit too popular though, compared with Sapphire. It would be a bit like calling them Ethelreda and Katie.

K12Mom · 10/01/2011 13:58

Sapphire & Topaz.

Tillyscoutsmum · 10/01/2011 14:06

Sapphire & Estella. Love Saffy and Stella - they sound like feisty, beautiful, strong women.

Good luck. Let us know when they're here Smile
