Hi all,

Expecting twin girls soon and these are the names on our shortlist. DH is Italian and so we wanted names that worked in both Italy and England.

I'd love it if you could tell me which two of these you like the best/go best together and also suggest middle names from the list!

Thanks all X

Cassandra (nn. Cassie)
Isabella (nn. Bella)
Emma
Alessia (nn. Ally)
Rosalia (nn. Rosie or Lia)
Lucia (nn. Lucy)
Serafina (nn. Sera)
Aurelia (nn. Lia?)

  • I am aware that nicknames are formed naturally and most are not chosen, I've just included our preferred nicknames and it would be helpful if you could also offer your opinion on them!

Suggestions are always welcome X

The Lucia I know has issues with people pronouncing it in different ways - Lu-si-a / Lu-chi-a / Lu-thi-a/ even Lucy-a

She now tells everyone she is Lou and everyone assumes she is a Louise.

Cassie and Bella all the way

Cassandra and Alessia

My reservation about Cassandra, apart from sounding like Sandra (no offence) is that in greek mythology Cassandra was a 'visionary' who foresaw her own death! Sorry! I know I sound like a snob two ways. But I acted in the play Trojan Women when I was 14 and she was the mad one foreseeing her own death....
