Okay, I posted a couple of days ago about names for DC (boy/girl twins due 29/09). We have narrowed it down to 3 names for each sex which we love equally! We would really appreciate which names people think are the best combinations, what boy/girl names go well together and if there are any obvious reasons why we shouldn't use them (teasing etc). At this stage we just don't know how we are going to chose between them!

Boys
Asher Gideon Hugo

Olivier Amos Reuben
Lennox Fabian Darcy

Girls
Isadora Poppy Quinn

Gabriella Georgie Coco
Emilia Tallulah Bo

I think that Ella would be a good nn for Gabriella as, if you chose Gabby, you wouldn't be left with much options for boys nn (eg couldn't have Gabby and Olly) but with Ella you would have more versitility. Also I think that Ash and Ella sound adorable together!

Boys
Love Asher Gideon Hugo

I misread Olivier as Oliver, but that is reading not hearing!

Girls
Love Gabriella Georgie Coco - Coco Chanel was born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel

Defintely think NN Ella for Gabriella is fab.

I too misread Olivier for Oliver and do think he would spend a lifetime correcting people.
I prefer Reuben Hugo tbh. I don't like Lennox as it always reminds me of the boxer Lennox Lewis so seems quite a fierce name to me.
Gabriella is nice so is Isadora.

Emilia and Oliver for me. Really lovely names and great together. Good luck and congratulations x

LynetteScavo · 28/08/2011 08:37

Asher Hugo..I Gideon is hideous.

Gabriella Tallulah Coco. (Tallulah is much nice than Georgie, IMO)

AnnMarie82 · 28/08/2011 14:06

I'm now seeing that the Olivier thing is a real problem and is starting to put me off the name. It may have to be demoted to a middle name :(

If you aren't using Olivier as a first name how about Dorian? It still has the individual/quirky feel of your other names but without the confusion of prenounciation etc.

Busybee21 · 28/08/2011 15:18

Also Dorian Amos Reuben is adorable!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/08/2011 15:19

Georgie is horrible imho. Sorry.

Italiangreyhound · 28/08/2011 16:10

Don't let us put you off Olivier if that is what you want. I think the main problem is seeing it written down FIRST time but most people will be hearing it from you, surely.

Love Coco.

AnnMarie82 · 28/08/2011 20:45

Don't worry I haven't been put off it as such I just don't want a name that would be a burden for my child.

Okay, we have emended the boys list as we have found three new loves when it comes to boys names (Dorian, Arlo and Atticus) and changed our mind about some of the others (Gideon, Amos and Olivier). So the boys names are now -
Asher Darcy Atticus
Dorian Reuben Hugo
Lennox Fabian Arlo

We have also re-ordered the girls names to -
Gabriella Isadora Quinn
Georgie Tallulah Coco
Poppy Emilia Bo

opinions on the revised names please!

Busybee21 · 29/08/2011 13:39

I must say, I do prefer some of your origional suggestions, but out of the new ones my opinions are -

Asher Darcy Atticus - Like Asher but not overly keen on the middle names.
Dorian Reuben Hugo - Dorian is great! It also goes very well with the two middle names.
Lennox Fabian Arlo - My absolute favourite! Lennox and Arlo are fantastic!

Gabriella Isadora Quinn - Great name and has a nice flow to it.
Georgie Tallulah Coco - Georgie is a bit incomplete IMO. How about Tallulah Georgie Coco?
Poppy Emilia Bo - Emilia Bo is sweet, not sure about Poppy.

As a twin set I would go for Gabriella and Lennox - they sound adorable together!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/08/2011 16:03

Love Asher and love Atticus but not the Darcy bit.

curlwur200 · 29/08/2011 18:48

Dorian is great! How about Dorian and Emilia (I know it's only down as a mn but I love it!)?

MadHatter302 · 30/08/2011 11:34

Love Love Love Georgie and Asher!

autumngirl231 · 31/08/2011 20:28

Lennox and Emilia definitely!
