Twin girls

Hello, I'm having twin girls ( non identical) this Autumn and need help with names!

We have decided one will be called Ines but need help with the other.

We also have one middle name agreed: Charlotte

We can't have names like Isabella as would rhyme with our surname that ends -er

I'm half Spanish and whilst mot looking for matchy-matchy we think each having one English and one Spanish name (in whatever order) appeals to us.

Ideas of names we have had on the table but one of us isn't sure about include:

Rosa (but husband will insist on calling her Rosie in style if coronation st!)
Paloma
Theodora nn Thea
Ophelia
Isolde
Isabeau

It's hard when you love a name so much so come up with another equally good name!!!

Thanks for ant suggestions !!

I like Paloma. I know a very cute half Portuguese Paloma and her sister is called Izara.

And congrats on the twins :) mine are 11 months now and so much fun together after all the early hard work!

Ines is lovely, makes me think of Ines Sastre. I love Paloma too but is that dated? I don't know. I really love it. I don't like Carmen or Pilar or Amparo or any of those names.

Ines and Clara
Ines and Dulcie - this isn't Spanish but I knew a Spanish Dulcie so I presume it works there.

bugsybill · 01/07/2013 13:35

Carmen. I love this name and it goes with Ines Smile

SpanishLady · 01/07/2013 21:56

Thanks ladies - think we are at least on the right track as most of the names suggested have come up! Am hoping for something to finally click as I'm referring to baby on the right as Ines and the baby on my left as ' the other one' poor thing!
