Twin girls - one down, one to go

69 replies

We are having identical twin girls in a few weeks. We have decided one will be called Alice but we are going round in circles with the other name.
The shortlist is:
Beatrice (Bea) - DH really likes this but I've gone off it a bit
Olivia - sounds good with Alice but is too popular
Jemima - a bit pretentious?

Any suggestions please?

I like them all. I think Alice and Olivia probably sound nicest together. I also really like Alice and Charlotte, Alice and Rosie, Alice and Esther, Alice and Isabel, Alice and Freya.

Tabitha? Please let us all know what you choose! Lucy and libby is cute xx

I'm not a fan of Beatrice or Jemima at all. Olivia is nice but very very popular now in schools.

I agree with avoiding A and B, unless you really don't like any alternatives.

What about Alice and Marianne? Seems to go nicely to my ear.

Out of interest, how do parents of same-sex multiples decide which baby is which? I've always been fascinated by this.

FredLovesWilma · 26/08/2017 23:36

sky does your name begin with a G and your husband an S...? Long shot I know!

sugaraddict81 · 26/08/2017 23:51

I was going to say the same as a couple of others, Alice and Olivia is a clothing brand and may not be that well known now but if it gets more so wouldn't be ideal...
