Names for twin girls

What does everyone think of Chloe and Nina for twin girls? Already have a Matthew.

Name changed to avoid this being linked to my other identifying posts!

Nice names. I like how they don’t start with the same letter.

helpmenamemytwins · 24/01/2018 08:30

Yeah we're trying to avoid them being too matchy matchy!

Yes, I like them, good choice

Intercom · 24/01/2018 10:03

Very nice Smile

When I was pregnant with twins every twin I met said don't give them 'twin names' which you haven't done so I think they're great.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/01/2018 10:37

They go well together.

WaxOnFeckOff · 24/01/2018 11:39

They go perfectly well together without being matchy and also go nicely with your DS name.

Personally I like Nina a lot better than Chloe and I'd have Nina and Carly or Carrie (in terms of like sounding names to Chloe) instead.

helpmenamemytwins · 24/01/2018 11:41

Thank you. Yes, we have been told the same too.

We also like Phoebe but I prefer them not to end with the same sound (Chloe and Phoebe). And we've tried to choose two which both can't be abbreviated, or that might be a sticking point when they get older.

I don't like Chloe. I thought it was nice until they seemed to be everywhere and usually called Chlo.
Clio/Cleo is pretty.
I like Nina.

Sharonthetotallyinsane · 24/01/2018 13:10

Nina and Phoebe?

nuffsenuff · 24/01/2018 13:11

Don't like Nina but love Chloe (biased).

Nancy and Chloe
Natalie and Chloe
Naomi and Chloe

helpmenamemytwins · 24/01/2018 16:18

I don't know any Chloe and I know a lot of under 3s... I know a Phoebe and a Nina who are both adorable.

Not sure about Carrie or Carly as they sound like abbreviations (sorry).

Quite like Nancy!

I think they're both just too random and do t really go together... I think you could find two better names that are very different but still fit together better...

But that's just me! If you love them... Go for it!!!

NinonDeLenclos · 24/01/2018 19:48

I agree they're too random.

Chloe and Phoebe sounds much better and they're both from the Ancient Greek.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 24/01/2018 19:53

Amber with Chloe?

SuperBeagle · 24/01/2018 20:12

Love them.

Chloe is my all time favourite girls name, and if it wasn't so popular here in Australia (top 10 for the last 15 years), I would've used it for DD1.

Nina is fabulous too.

cherryontopp · 24/01/2018 20:41

I love both names but not together.

I prefer Chloe and Phoebe. Totally different names but still sound good together.

Love the name Nina though Grin

bluesouper · 24/01/2018 20:44

My name is Chloë and my favourite girls name is Nina !

So yes, yes, yes!!

NotCornflakes · 24/01/2018 20:46

I think they are both lovely names, they go together well but aren't too 'matchy'.

MollyCule · 24/01/2018 21:02

I love Nina. Personally prefer Nancy to Phoebe or Chloe but probably too matchy with Nina!

helpmenamemytwins · 24/01/2018 21:11

Thank you. Quite varied opinions!

As much as I love Phoebe, we prefer to stick to names with 'simpler' spellings as we have foreign family and the 'ph' and 'oe' sounds seem a little much. Will have a think about the others! Would rather avoid names starting with the same initials...

TatianaLarina · 24/01/2018 21:33

Chloe and Phoebe is great! Like Nancy too though.

RosieCotton · 24/01/2018 21:33

mum2be2boys · 24/01/2018 22:17
