A sister for Jupiter?

[MultipleMama]

We have decided to wait until the twins are born to decide their names as it seems we can't settle on two this time round. We're having b/g twins and have a list of possible names that flow and match each other as well as the other DC.

We both fell in love with Jupiter so it's on the list but cannot find a girl's name that matches (topic wise) or flows. We did love Astra Faye but sounds too close to Ash Tray!

We don't like Juniper, Juno as they're too close in name.

Any ideas?

Please give your child a normal middle name.

Luna is an obvious choice although I seem to remember a couple of wags have used it?

Not everyone is bullied by their name. I went it school with a Geronimo, a Tuesday and a Jedediah who were fine and the poor bastard who was bullied was called Robert.

.....and I have a relatively common name and was horribly bullied because of the colour of my hair

Flora or Luna

I'm really loving the suggestions. I'm on my phone so can't really go back and remember usernames (sorry,) but I love whoever suggested the earth name Giaia was it? Or something like that.

I'm not keen on Luna . Someone mentioned another name that caught my eye but can't remember so I'll go back and look!

Keep the names coming, DH and I are loving looking over them.

littlemisssarcastic - so far everyone I've suggested it to, likes it and had positive reactions.

We'll definitely let you all know what we decide. Why is choosing girl names so much harder? Haha.

I hope your surname isn't something awful like higginbottom or Lilicrap which would let these lovely names down

Zoe

Jupiter and Artemis (as suggested by a previous poster) sounds amazing- but they will need strong personalities to carry off such extravagant names.

The other name that immediately sprang to mind was Cressida (Cressy).

And yes, you will need to have the right surname to go with names like these.

Gaia,celeste,or Calliope.

If not Astra, then how about Aphra? Lovely and underused IMO.

celine
celeste
seline
caelia

My DS's middle name is Jupiter!

I thought of it the night he was born and fell in love, we went with the first name we had chosen but added Jupiter as a middle name.

Sorry I haven't got any suggestions for your other twin but just wanted to say that!

Cosima? My DS is a Cosmo, named after FIL but also chosen by DH to reflect that he is the world to us. I think Cosma is also a variation.

I think Gaia is beautiful.

Rigel - we almost used it as a middle name for DD1

Stella
Hera
Antigone
Cassandra
Penelope

Galadriel
Celestial
Xena

I love Aurora, think it sounds lovely with Jupiter! I would love to use it for DC3 if it turns out pink but DH would never agree to that lol! I also think Gaia is very nice and would work well. Good luck!

We have quite a normal German surname; in the sense that everyone can pronounce it haha.

DH wants to know what you think of Nyx; Goddess of night and Daughter of Chaos?

So far Gaia is a contender.

Nyx is rather good, but it does sound a bit like it's short for Nicola.

Hmmm. Not keen on Nyx either. It sounds rather harsh and a bit nickname-y / an abbreviation. That's just my opinion though!

Thanks. We've now vetoed Nyx :) I wasn't too keen.

What about Gemini?

Jupiter and Gemini - related to space/stars and twins?

Poor kid.

You're perfectly happy with him being called Ju, I presume?
