Thoughts on names for twin girls

We've been thinking about names for our twin (identical) girls, expected in late November/early December, and I thought I'd garner some popular opinion. What do people think of the following? We have a short surname beginning with 'M'.

Eleanor Lily

and

Rosa Josephine

Glad you replied with that, Mortified, I was going to say Rosa Parks! I think there is a famous feminist called Rosa as well.
My DD's called Rosa, so I definitely like that one Grin Eleanor is nice too, but I'm not keen on Ellie, so it wasn't on my list. Others on my list were: Matilda, Lucy, Primrose,Posy and Celeste.

Rosa Luxembourg is the feminist, I reckon she's a pretty strong female role model. :)

Oh, Rosa Parks, of course!!! Maybe I should Google names next time before commenting on them [wince]

Not heard of Rosa Luxembourg, but am sure she and the other Rosas mentioned are also very strong. It is a lovely sounding name, too.

I'm not totally sure about Rosa Josephine either, nice names but just don't sound out great together. Rosa Eleanor and Josephine Lily perhaps? Although you might end up with Josie and Rosie!
