Twin Girls -Jessica and....

Lulabel27 · 27/08/2012 22:25

Due to have identical girls in a few weeks... We already have an Emilia and will really want to call one Jessica (Jess). The second twin name is still undecided and would appreciate help deciding between:

Georgiana (Georgie)
Charlotte (Charlie)
Leila
Antonia
Sienna

All quite different! I'm personally not keen on sienna (I think it Will date) but DH likes it hence it making the short list! Thoughts (and Amy other suggestions!) most welcome

I have a Jessica and Lily not twins tho

amck5700 · 28/08/2012 10:04

I thought Charlotte even before I saw your list :)

ByTheWay1 · 28/08/2012 10:09

Always remember try the name the other way too.... Charlotte and Jessica sounds good..... beware of "second" twin syndrome - get too used to saying Jessica first and she will always be "first" in your head - I have twin sisters, one was always "first" and it caused envy and ructions in later life.....

Another vote for Jessica and Charlotte; both classic names that will not date. I know two sets of sisters (both not twins) Jessica and Sophie and Jessica and Chloe.

Or...

Jessica and Elizabeth (Libby)
Jessica and Eleanor (Ellie)
Jessica and Catherine
Jessica and Abigail
Jessica and Florence
Jessica and Harriet

Charlotte

FlirtyThirty · 28/08/2012 12:14

A vote for Charlotte from me too!

Would probably avoid Leila with an Emilia in the house too...though i like both names! :-)

mirry2 · 28/08/2012 12:16

joanna. then you could call them Jess and Jo

Lulabel27 · 29/08/2012 13:04

Gosh thank you for such helpful feedback! Definitely looks like Charlotte is in the lead with Georgiana second!
I love Elizabeth too but it's a very close family member so we can't really use it.
Harriet funnily enough is going to be one of their middle names! Really like it but not quite enough to give it as a first name. I think antonia might make it as a middle name too...
Just got to get DH off Sienna now!

Love Charlotte.

I've got twins that are grace and Jessica

fanjodisfunction · 29/08/2012 16:27

jessica and Charlotte, they are along the same vein but they start and end differently. So dont sound like a couple.

popsypie · 29/08/2012 16:29

Jessica and Kate
Jessica and Alice
Jessica and isabel
Jessica and Rebecca

MarshmallowFarm · 29/08/2012 16:30

Another vote for Charlotte - sounds the best with Jessica from your list

HiHowAreYou · 29/08/2012 19:02

I like Charlotte and Sienna. Sorry, I do!

Ephiny · 29/08/2012 19:29

I immediately thought Elizabeth, because of the Sweet Valley books :)

From your list I think Charlotte is the nicest and goes best with Jessica and Emilia.

(Charlotte Antonia would be lovely as first name/middle name IMO. And maybe Jessica Kate?)

janey68 · 29/08/2012 20:31

Jessica and Charlotte

Jess and Lottie (not Charlie!)

Tittywhistles · 29/08/2012 20:39

Are you pronouncing Georgiana "George-AY-Nah" or "George-AR-Nah"?

Either way It's a bit fussy compared to Jessica, might I suggest Natasha?

Jessie and Nat
Jess and Tash

That sort of thing?

InTheNameofTheWeeMan · 29/08/2012 20:45

Charlotte

Stellan · 29/08/2012 21:03

Emilia, Jessica & Charlotte.

Otherwise, Emilia, Jessica & Georgina.

Georgiana is a little too fussy and frilly compared to the other two names.

Nobhead · 29/08/2012 21:10

Jessica and Louisa
Jessica and Katie
Jessica and Jennifer
Jessica and Rebecca
Jessica and Hannah
Jessica and Emily
Jessica and Francesca

Ohmydarlin · 29/08/2012 22:16

Charlotte from your short list but have you considered Miranda? Emilia Jessica and Miranda are lovely,

DessieLou · 30/08/2012 00:28

I agree with Stellan. Georgina and Jessica. Georgiana is a little too sickly compared to the other names but Jess and Georgie is definately a winning combo. So cute! Charlotte is also lovely but Charlie is awful IMO (sorry!).

BonzaBlue · 30/08/2012 00:38

I always wanted Jessica and Amber ... but never had twins lol

iheartmycat · 30/08/2012 01:14

Before I saw you already had a list to choose from, I was going to suggest

Jessica and Lorna
Jessica and Elizabeth

LOVE Charlotte from your list, Georgiana is a bit of a mouthful and would constantly be confused with Georgina.

rollmeover · 30/08/2012 03:30

I have a Charlotte who was very nearly a Jessica but a family member beat us to it a few weeks earlier! So I think you have great taste in names! I love Elizabeth too but it doesnt go with our surname.

Though our Charlotte isnt a Charlie, it just doesnt suit her. So shes Cha, C or Lotts so far but nothing settled on!
