Hello,
In the next couple of weeks my twin girls will be born. We've decided on Charlotte for one of them bit aren't getting anywhere with her sister.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I feel like I've been through every baby name list on the internet.
Thank you!

Carley.

I wouldn't normally choose that one but it seems to go well.

Thanks for all your responses.

We do actually really like the name Emily bit our surname also ends with a 'lee' sound and I just don't know if it's a bit tongue twisterish.

Also, going off topic a little, what are people's thoughts on naming a child a name they would share with a parent's cousin? My husband and I have a lot of female cousins with a lot of very pretty, traditional names which we love. We don't see them often but wonder if it may be problematic for grandparents who are still going strong.

We called our son after a cousin as loved his name. We told him before we announced it and he was thrilled. I'd be flattered if anyone called their child the same name as me but Talula Fanning just isn't so popular! So I call myself by my middle name Anne. If you love a name speak to the cousin and suggest it's an option. I bet they'd be thrilled!

I have a Jade and also have a cousin Jade Grin

Eliza or Larissa.

Cousin of parent sharing the name wouldn't matter unless somebody would think she was named after the cousin and you would get tangled in knots protesting that she wasn't and upsetting the cousin, or upset other cousins :o

Isabelle, Alice, Kate, Grace, Rebekah, Lois, Beatrice, Florence, Emilia, or Susanna.
The cousin thing is fine, we have this in ours.
