Expecting girl/boys twins (much wanted IVF babies). They will probably be our only children (I'm old).

Which do you like? I can't decide whether to go for 'cute' or 'sophisticated' (but worry they sound a bit stuffy).

I really dislike both Daisy and Charlie I'm afraid. They will date along with names like Alfie and Maisie.

Eliza and William are very nice!

Aww, am so Envy at twins - how fabulous.

I have a William (Billy) and Eliza (my GM name) would be on my list for a future DD.

I think Elizabeth is massively adaptable re NNs, love Bess, Betsy, Lizzy, even Beth.

I really like Charlie but personally have the need for a long birth cert name, and don't like Charles (go figure). Daisy is sweet, but again IMO lacks gravitas as an adult, would prefer Margot nn Daisy.

(ah, have just read the thread - am repeating the theme!!)

Good luck with your pregnancy and enjoy it all x

Elizabeth and William for sure. Love the bessie and billy suggestion. I know a gorgeous little betsy too - betsy and billy would be adorable! And they'd have lovely classic names with great grown up nn if they wanted (will and beth for example). Congrats how exciting!

Just an update to say I now have my Elizabeth and William! :)

I like all of them - lovely choices, however as many above have said would go with Elizabeth and William with Eliza and Will as their shortened forms...

Congratulations! What lovely, lovely names.

Twins realy are fab and exciting (and knackeringGrin), mine are 4mth now (dc 5&6) and also boy/girl (Quentin and Christina).

I'm an Elizabeth with a brother called William, great combination!

spottyock · 24/10/2011 08:46

I have a Daisy. If I have another girl Eliza is in the top 3 names. Both lovely names. I think I prefer William to Charlie.

spottyock · 24/10/2011 08:48

Oh, sorry- just seen its old! Congratulations- hope everything is going well with Elizabeth and William!

Cogratulations and on your choice of names, they are lovely.

Personally, I think Daisy is cute for a child but as an older child/adult it sounds a bit silly.
