Twin names 👶🏻👶🏻

[Amee1992x]

Hey! Already have a little boy, he's 5!

Expecting twin girls in October & toying with names we like but need oppnions as our family don't know the genders 🙈

We really like Everly & Spencer, but we just aren't set and want something that jumps out at us. Not too matchy they aren't identical.

I'd use those as first names!

I think evelyn and harper are good choices in the vein of everly and Spencer.

Would you have liked to grow up with the name spencer as a girl?

Everly is lovely - it's different and feminine. Am not so keen on Spencer for a boy or girl, but if you love it, go for it. I think Everly sounds great with Harper or Parker.

They won't be first names, my other half hates Ottilie im lucky it'll even be a middle name every pronounces it wrong 😤! & our dog is called Avery 😂.

And I wouldn't mind growing up with the name spencer, my names Amy and my mother spelled it Amee 🤷🏻‍♀️

Spencer is a fairly common surname. Have a look in a phone book (if they still exist).

As a first name it is very much a boys name. It would be like calling a boy Sarah.

Everly is also a surname, but does work better a first name. It's like a cross between Beverly and Evelyn.

Other boys names/surnames that could work for girls:

Blake
Brooke
Harper
Piper
Quinn
Taylor
Ashton
Robyn
Georgie
Charlie
Alex(andra)
Ellison
Dawson
Marley/Mali
Darcie
Elliot
Cameron
Reece

Lovely choice of middle names

Your probably right sidione I might not want them being matchy but I don't want them to sound like they have girl-boy names, if they are anything like my little boy they will be bald till they are about 2 😭

I think we are pretty set on everly, all the other names I like tend to sound boyish as well and I don't know why it's what stands out 🤷🏻‍♀️ Someone will suggest something here and it'll stand out I have a list to show my other half when he's home from work ☺️

Corliss? Totally outs me, but we chose this for our daughter as it was unusual, easy to pronounce and has a good meaning: happy and joyful.

I've only ever heard Everly on MN but have warmed to it actually

I think Spencer isn't a great name for a boy and is awful for a girl

Harley
Eden
Taylor
Mackenzie
Thea

Spencer is a girls name to me but that's probably from reading Pretty Little Liars years ago and Spencer Hastings is one of the main characters

The Everly Brothers
The Spencer Davis Group

April I think I'm the same I read the books after I watched the first series on TV! Books are always better 🙈

Everly and Alexa
Everly and Marie
Everly and Jade
Everly and Maya
Everly and Belle
Everly and Ivy

Xx

Harper and Hadley
Kennedy and Kavannah.
Peyton and Reilly

Oh lor I really like Ivy Ottillie & Everly Genevieve 😍😍😍

Spencer is bad enough as a boys name. Don't do it to a girl!!
Sawyer and Parker too.

I'd assume you were hoping for a boy.

Everly is cute.
Avery and Everly too matchy?

Wasn't hoping for anything other than healthy babies 😊.

Our dogs called Avery.

Those sound so sweet Amee! And unique with the middle names x

On a slightly off thread note OP - if you're having two girls you can't find out if they are identical or not until they're born. I have ID boys, they had their own placenta etc - but we did the DNA test ( as well as it being obvious when they were born) and they are identical. It's to do with when the egg split - it it split before placentas formed they have their own placentas. You still find many medical professionals who don't know this either...

It's important for the twins to know because it is part of their identity and also for medical reasons if one gets a genetic condition.

I cross posted. Ivy and Everly are cute

Oh really I didn't know that, I was advised they are fraternal/non identical because they don't share a placenta or a sac! We learn something new everyday

That's lovely op, ds1 has his grandads name as a middle name.

Yep - about a third of same sex sets of twins are identical. They absolutely don't need to share a sac (though if they do it's much mor high risk and that's why the doctors are concerned to find out).

If you're told this again or if you're interested this is a really good explanation www.multiplebirths.org.uk/identical.asp

My only concern about Ivy and Everly is that it might become Evy and Ivy which is a bit matchy especially for twins.
