My twins (b/g) came home from NICU yesterday after two weeks. Me and DP still have no idea about the names so I'm enlisting the help of MN. They have an older sister called Enid.
Thanks Smile

Thanks for the suggestions, I think my favourites so far are Violet, Greta and Alexander. DP has just suggested Rafe and Freya, which I like but I'm not sure if Rafe is usually a nickname or not.

Rafe to me is the nickname of Raphaël.
it might be easier to suggest names you'll like if you tell us what you're looking for (length, sounds you like, sounds you dislike, ethnicity, meaning, origin...)

Rafe isn't really a nickname - it's an alternative spelling of Ralph (which can be pronounced Rafe, as in Ralph Fiennes).

Rafe and Freya make quite a nice pair, actually!

Thanks all of you. As Rafe and Freya seem to be the ones me and DP both agree on, we're going to use those and have Alexander and Violet as middle names. Smile

Congratulations :)

Gorgeous choices! Love Enid too

Congratulations on Freya Violet and Rafe Alexander!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

QueenBumble · 01/06/2019 13:47

Enid is so cool !
Rafe & Freya are sweet but I think Rafe is usually a pronunciation for Ralph or a nickname for Raphael
But it’s all in flux these days & they’re lovely choices

Congratulations on the twins but even more so on being home !

Canone · 01/06/2019 16:06
