I need 2 girls names...

[familyfortunes]

DS is Isaac and we've just found out our twins are pink

DH and I cannot agree on any girls names and tbh I don't feel I love any girls names.

I like names ending in 'a':
Olivia - too common?
Ava - ditto

DH is set on Nuala but I've gone off this name.

Lucy is a possible which obv breaks my 'a' rule, again I'm worried she would be one of many.

Any suggestions??

I have a Tabitha and an Ada. I've a friend of a friend who has twin girls Tabitha and Jemima which i think is lovely and fits with your 'a' ending?

I also love Nora. And Romilly.

Not all names which end in a but I like them, so just to throw them into the mix...

Vivienne
Juliet
Karen
Harriet
Zara
Fionnuala (sticking with the Irish name theme!)
Athena
Cora
Frances
Maud

Is there an Irish preference? How about Moira?

Lila & nala

No Irish preference.

I think this is going to turn into a saga for us...anyone else struggled to agree names??

Liking Harriet

Sylvia

Aurora

Yes we did, but we didn't name until we'd met the children.

On the bright side, conflict provides some fertile material for name choice! Invent your own using it as inspiration e.g.
Saga
'Patra
'Pica
'Rama
Pabla

Good luck...

Sylvia and Lydia/Olivia

Heidi and Hazel

Samantha and Amanda

How matchy-matchy do you want the twins to be?

Cara, Anna, Stella, Julia, Emer, Maria.

I have an Olivia (she's 6), she's the only one in the year in her school, but don't tell anyone (it seems drive people into a rage that she's not one of 6 )

I know siblings called Olivia & Ava - it's lovely when you hear it said out loud iykwim.

However hard you try to make twins be separate people their names will forever be said in the same sentence.

They will always be Anna and Emma, Isabella and Cassandra even if they hate each other.

Thus it's wise to have similar length, but not too rhymey names.

Love Nuala! Personally i would avoid 2 names ending in 'a'. How about...

Norah & Kirstie
Nina & Lucy
Olivia & Katie
Catrina & Francine
Ziva & Georgie

Love Lucy and Ava (or Ella)

I don't think Lucy is that common (as in lots of them) - I don't know any Lucys. One Lucinda aged 6.

I also like Harriet. Other ideas: Lydia, Luisa, Leila.

If you like nuala what about fionula with Nula for short, or fiona or finola which I think are just different versions of the same name.

If not how about just livia or olive.

If I had twin girls they would be Liliana and Beatrice.

I also like Fae and Rose/a, Alicia and Emma, Delilah and Katrina, Clara and Eliza, Athena and Hera, Kaiya and Esme, Erica and Anita, Freya and Kiera and Alexandra and Catherine.

Know of twins called
Georgia Rose and Harriet Grace

Lydia?

I haven't known many girl-girl twins but the ones I have met are:

Anna and Amy
Hester and Beatrice
Harriet and Emily
Jacqueline and Evelyn
Kerry and Donna
Annabelle and Charlotte

Of those, all but Harriet/Emily and Annabelle/Charlotte are now at least 16

It may not matter, but Olivia is very popular - no 2 in England and Wales in 2012. Lucy less popular at no 27.

I've got a baby Lola .
It suits her

Lydia and Erica
Harriet and Aurelia
Jennifer and Molly

Everytime I see Nualla written, I think it says Nutella

But it doesn't sound like Nutella, and it usually only has one 'L'. It's pronounced here: www.babynamesofireland.com/nuala

Jessica and Abigail
Beatrice and Lydia
Laura and Frances
Frankie and Ramona
Naomi and Rebecca
Valentina and Sylvia
