Twin names

I’ve just joined mumsnet as I’ve seen a lot of posts that help name babies, and I need the help! I’ve recently found out that my twins are one of each, I have shortlisted some boy names I like, but girl names I’m struggling with. I just can’t find anything I like that suits the boy names I have.
Boy names I have shortlisted are:

  • Luca
  • Issac
  • Albie
  • Sebastian
  • Elijah

I’m struggling with finding any girl names that I like with the boy names. I like the name Edie but not Edith, and I’ve been told by family that Edie should only be a nickname which bugs me.
Please suggest some girl names that somewhat go with some of my boy names, thank you.

My twins names don’t go with each other. They do now 😉. They don’t have to match unless you want them to.
Also don’t tell anyone your names. There will always be someone that doesn’t like a name.

Elijah would be my second favourite.

You can call a girl Edie!! It's lovely and if you are old enough to be a Mum you are old enough to tell family you don't agree!

MrsFoxPlus4 · 15/12/2018 13:08

Edie is fine as a full name. I have Everley & Stella :)

Astronica · 16/12/2018 12:26

I love Edie as a full name. Just don't tell anyone and don't discuss it!

Sebastian and Edie would be fantastic!

I quite like Albie but I'm not keen on any of your others. I don't like Albie and Edie together as they sound a bit samey. Eda? Albie and Eda? or Tessa, Georgia, Brenna?

abcriskringle · 16/12/2018 12:30

I love Isaac and have one myself so very biased! I like the names Rose, Penelope and Victoria, all of which I think go with Isaac and would be on the shortlist for a future DD.

Luca and Ava
Albie and Edie
Isaac and Ava
Sebastian and Amelie/ Amelia
Elijah and Sienna

Thetigerwhocameto · 17/12/2018 01:35

Your boy list is similar to ours. The girl list is:

Niamh
Orla
Ava
Edie (Edith, unsure on this)
Ciara

Icklepup · 17/12/2018 08:40

Elijah and Maeve

starkid · 17/12/2018 12:16

Not sure about suggestions, except that they really don't have to match or 'go' together, unless you're thinking of naming your boy something like Jeff and then the girl Esmerelda!

From your boys list I like Sebastian and Elijah most :) Also Edie is fine without being short for Edith, don't worry :)

Enko · 19/12/2018 16:23

what about Adie if you don't want to use Edie

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 19/12/2018 21:31

When we named our twins, we didn't want them to be too matchy. So no same initials or same suffixes. Their names sound quite different but have a similar vibe - in our case, quite nineteenth century.

Could you do similar?

So if you like Isaac, an Old Testament girl's name, that sort of thing.

doodlejump1980 · 19/12/2018 21:34

How about Elodie to be shortened to Edie?

Greenandcabbagelooking · 19/12/2018 21:40

Isaac and Abigail
Isaac and Rebecca

Elijah and Eleanor
Elijah and Samantha

Luca and Rosie
Luca and Katie

Sebastian and Caitlin
Sebastian and Elizabeth

Albie and Hermione
Albie and Lydia

MumUnderTheMoon · 23/12/2018 09:40

I know several sets of twins and they are usually be known as "the twins". This could give kids a bit of a complex so I would try and make sure their names don't rhyme or start with the same letter or anything like that. Your boys name list is lovely and so is Edie but I wouldn't use it with Albie because of the rhyming thing.
Iris
Francesca
Meredith
Rose
Sarah

JemSynergy · 23/12/2018 11:07

I love Sebastian and Albie and think they go well with many names.

I think any of the flooding go well with both

Matilda
Florence
Eliza
Primrose
Amelia
Clementine
Lydia
Evelyn
Pearl
