Ideas for twins based on our shortlists

So my husband and I are finally expecting and just found out we are having twins! We have short lists for both genders but I don't know which names sound best paired in a twin set. Ideas and suggestions would be most welcome Smile

Girls:

Ada
Etta
Zara
Bridget
Annabelle
Clementine
Luella

Boys:

Gabriel
Rafael/Raphael
Beau
Hugo

I'm leaning towards Bridget and Luella for two girls, Etta and Gabriel for B/G and Rafael and Hugo for two boys.

I really love Ada as a name but don't love it with any of the boys names that we like so far, what would you pair Ada with for a B/G twin set?

Open to other name suggestions too, our last name is a fairly standard double barrelled name ending in 'er'

I like Annabelle and Clementine best of your girl names, and I think they go well together. I also like Zara. I'm not sure about Bridget. I don't like Luella at all.
Of the boys, I like Hugo, Raphael and Gabriel but don't like Beau. I wouldn't have Raphael and Gabriel together (too angelic) but I think Hugo sounds good with either.
For girl/boy twins I would avoid duplicating the "el" sound so I'd go for Hugo with Annabelle, or Gabriel or Raphael with Clementine. Zara goes with any of them.
