Names for B/G twins

We are calling boy twin Luke as it is a family name for DH. We have two older DDs with two syllable names both with a 'c' in them (like Darcey but not) and would like a girl twin's name along similar lines, but the ones we like I'm not sure go all that well with Luke, specifically:

Luke and
Anna (but think Luke and Anna together sound a bit bleak and Amish?)
Maisie
Camilla known as Milly
Hazel (DH not keen)

Any other ideas? Thanks!

It doesn't need to go with Luke specifically. Fair enough if you want your DC to have a set of names, but consider all four, not just the twins.

Twins after all, are individual people, just like your other children, and won't always be together.

I say this as on B/G twin myself.

Luke and Leia

Also having b g twins (tomorrow morning) and not decided on names. I like Luke a lot and far prefer Anna or Hazel to Milly or Maisie which honestly sound like gerbil names to me.

MyGuideJools · 20/05/2018 22:15

Annabel?

feelinginthedark · 20/05/2018 22:20

Now I'll never be able to use Milly or Maisie as will just picture gerbils!!

I do like Anna and the combination but I think that my other DD's names are very much top 10 and I wanted something a bit more unusual (as the twins will definitely be our last).

Other thoughts now are:
Luke and
Sybil
Ivy
Esme?

I like Esme...

villainousbroodmare · 20/05/2018 22:38

Oh no, didn't mean to demolish them quite so comprehensively Blush... Sybil is lovely. Ivy is a plant and also increased a lot lately in popularity afaik.

bookmum08 · 20/05/2018 22:43

Topsy. As in Topsy and Tim. I know a few guys called Tim but I have never met a Topsy!!
(I am joking)

bookmum08 · 20/05/2018 22:44

(unless you actually like the name Topsy then I'm not joking......)

Gunpowder · 20/05/2018 22:45

No name advice but I’ve got b/g twins and they are fab. Good luck villanous and OP!

Trialsmum · 20/05/2018 22:52

Ivy is my favourite girls name atm but I think its about to explode in popularity. I’ve heard of 2 little Ivys lately and we’re not even in a trendy part of the country.

Luke and Lacey stands out to me.
