Due twin girls the start of October.

We had decided on Everly Genevieve & Spencer Ottilie. My DH loved Spencer but has went off it recently & we are gonna choose another name.

He won't let me have Ottilie 😞.

We like -
Verity (DH choice)
Mila or Veda.

Help us 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everly is lovely.
Everly and Veda, sound good together, and different.😄

Twistandshout77 · 19/08/2017 19:35

Veda sounds like a hair salon
I like a pp's suggestion of everly and violet
How about sage or samara?

MrsFrankieHeck · 19/08/2017 19:36

Everley and Beverley

Sorted.

Thank God for your DH btw.

Thank god for my DH? Spencer was his choice, it's a name he liked but he's changed his mind. This isn't about what Gender the name suits, it's about other suggestions as he's went off it 😊

Some lovely suggestions though, I think baby B might be a case of waiting to see what she looks like 🙈

Love Veda. What about Ada?

Came to his senses, more like.

Amee1992x · 19/08/2017 19:45

Maybe so, no need to be horrible 😊.

Surely Everly isn't an actual name?

itusedtobeverydifferent · 19/08/2017 19:46

Spencer is a girls name since being a pretty little liars fan

LapinR0se · 19/08/2017 19:47

Just googled and it is a name, suddenly taking off in popularity. You learn something new every day!

Amee1992x · 19/08/2017 19:48

Everly is a name.
Pretty little lairs fan here too but I read the books first 🙈! Nearly finished the series now though 😊

Verity Ottilie sounds ridiculous, so that's out.

I love Verity on its own, though.

Ottilie and Genevieve are definate middle names.

LorLorr2 · 19/08/2017 19:51

Grace? Amber? Louisa? Lara? Alexa/Alexis?

:)

LadyKyliePonsonbyFarquhar · 19/08/2017 19:51

Everly and Ivory go well togetherWink

LapinR0se · 19/08/2017 19:51

So Everly Genevieve and then Veda Ottilie is think I would go with.
Are you pronouncing Ottilie the French way or the German way

OlennasWimple · 19/08/2017 19:54

Avoid Ada, as Everly and Ada sounds like someone mis-pronouncing "happily ever after"

Veda is a bread, but Vida would be an alternative

How about:

Maddison
Elizabeth
Catelyn
Suzanne

MerryMarigold · 19/08/2017 19:55

I think there's too much 'l' sound going on in Everly and Mila. You have to imagine saying their names a lot, together. I have twins too. Are you ready yet blah and blah? Blah and blah, have you cleaned your teeth? I took blah and blah to the park yesterday. Etc. Just say the names together over and over. Everly and Spencer work well from that perspective. Every and Veda, too many v's going on.

MerryMarigold · 19/08/2017 19:56

Everly and Verity are really bad together, too similar

Amee1992x · 19/08/2017 19:58

Not sure what the French pronouncation is but his grandmothers name was pronounced ott-ally.

It has to be Mila from your choices I think.
Verity is a lovely name, but Everly and Verity is such a mouthful to say together (which you will do quite a bit, at least when they are young). Veda sounds like a shortening of another name.
