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 🤷🏻‍♀️

With Veda are you aware that they are Hindu scriptures? Pronounced Vay-da - are you planning a Vee-da or Vay-da pronunciation?

I do like the name but may adjust spelling if you intend Vay-da to Vada - makes me think of My Girl.

Amee1992x · 19/08/2017 20:01

Veda would be pronounced Vay-da, it's just a suggestion.

Verity is nice,

Isadora2007 · 19/08/2017 20:04

Everly when you have an Avery the dog is a bit odd... 🐶

Happily and Everly (then you can add an Afterly (after!)

I actually like a different syllable and sound for twins.

How about Vaila ? It's a Shetland name I loved for baby number 4 but he was a boy.

DSH1993 · 19/08/2017 20:05

Love the name Everly!! How about Florence ?

coursedarlin · 19/08/2017 20:05

Wasn't Veda the little girl in my girl? But spelt vada?

DSH1993 · 19/08/2017 20:05

Love Mila too. It's in my baby name list Smile

Amee1992x · 19/08/2017 20:07

I really like Mila also.

Yes the little girl in my girl was called Vada, whatever the spelling is 🙄

Veda makes me think Darth.

I'd definitely go with Mila.

igotyoubabe · 19/08/2017 20:22

How about Vida as a variation? Means 'Life' in Spanish.

I think Everly is very pretty BTW 😊

coursedarlin · 19/08/2017 20:36

Sorry wasn't picking at your spelling of it. I just ended up with that little song she sings in it stuck in my head. FWIW I love mila and if DS was a girl he would be a Mila

WendyWhenWhen · 19/08/2017 20:36

What about...

Everly Genevieve and

Zinnia Ottilie
Seren Ottilie
Dahlia Ottilie
Margot Ottilie
Juniper Ottilie
Athena Ottilie
Vivienne Ottilie

Amee1992x · 19/08/2017 20:41

I love Margot!

French pronunciation is OTT-ill-ee
German is Ott-EE-lee-ya

Seems you are going for the French one, which is lovely

Twistandshout77 · 19/08/2017 21:12

Everly and Margot works!

holidayqueriwifi · 19/08/2017 21:18

Bailey
Harper
Piper

Beadieeye · 19/08/2017 21:37

I LOVE the name Veda

starkid · 19/08/2017 22:23

I like Mila, but not sure it goes well with Ottilie

Amee1992x · 19/08/2017 22:59

I wasn't really worried about the middle names marching, they are middle names. They are being given them because they mean something

whiteroseredrose · 19/08/2017 23:10

I saw Veda and thought VD. Can't believe I'm the only one!

PrudenceDear · 19/08/2017 23:20

Mila, I love it. It was on my name list but I couldn't use it as it was too similar to surname.

I think Everly & Mila go well together.

TyrionLannistersShadow · 19/08/2017 23:28

How about Everly and Delilah?

Seekingmiracles · 20/08/2017 03:21

LOVE Everly. It was on my list for DD. I don't think many people would assume Beverley at all. People get used to names very quickly.

Of your other names I prefer Veda! Again I had it on my list.

Although I normally like quite masculine girl names, I don't actually think Everly and Spencer go as twin names.
We had Marlowe on our list for DD and the response I got was quite ridiculous...Hmm

nooka · 20/08/2017 03:39

I had assumed that Veda was pronounced Vee-da. If it's really Vay-da then I don't think that's great as to many people it will just make them think of Darth Vadar. Great character but not someone I'd call a a little girl after Grin. What about Vita instead?

I agree with PP that Verity and Everly are too similar sounding, and also weirdly I think too different in type (Verity very traditional virtue name, Everly very modern surname as first name for a girl). I'm glad your dh has gone off Spencer.
