Hi, I’m Yohannette (everyone calls me Hanna) and I’ve hated my name for a long time. So I found out I was pregnant with my first two children me and my partner wanted to make sure the names for our expectant twin girls have to be perfect. I just want to say now that there are so many websites that can come up with the weirdest names for twins. While searching we found suggestions for things like Daisy and Maisy, Willow and Elm, and my personal faverioute, Blackpool and Liverpool. I have nothing against these names and I actually called my third girl Maisy, but the fact that you would rhyme it is beyond me. It was these terrible suggestions that made me and my wife realise that we wanted our kids to have names that not only sounded nice but meant something. We searched through diary pages to find memorable places that names weren’t insane, we talked to relatives about their or their parents names, sifting through all this history as well as numerous lists of what would be the “next big thing” in baby names. By using all this different sources we somehow managed to find two names that we love every time we hear them, Stella-Marnie (Star from the Sea) Audrey Thomas. This was perfect because we fell in love with the meaning of the first name and I proposed in front of an Audrey Hepburn film. And Georgia London Thomas, Georgia is the name of my wife’s grandmother, and we met in London.

I hope this hope has helped you in the search to find the perfect name for you new born.
Hanna

Naming kids is easy. Try naming kittens with input from 11 and 13 year olds. The conversations lasted weeks and we still got it wrong.

Wow I love Stella-Marnie actually.
