Twin names

Hi, I’m 32 weeks pregnant with fraternal twins, I don’t know what genders/gender they are because I want a surprise but we don’t have any names picked out. Currently I have two sons, Noah and Finley and a daughter, Blair. Please help us think of some combinations, names I like are:
Boys: Jude, Brody, Mateo, Thomas, Harry, Luke
Girls: Maia, Violet, Aria, Ivy, Ellis, Wren, Avery, Ines (I know some of these are unisex but I would use them for a girl)
Unisex: Blake, Taylor, Alex (Alexander & Alexandra)

Thank you

I love your older DC's names.

My fab 4 are:
Jude, Brody
Ivy, Ellis.

Similarly unusual to the names you have.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 06/06/2019 21:55

Jude and Brody
Wren and Avery

Blake and Taylor

I would avoid Blake if you already have a Blair.

I LOVE Mateo! Jude is nice too. My sister is called Ellis so I love that for a girl! Also love Maia (but it's popular so how about Kaia?) and Aria (also gaining popularity though).

Love Avery, Ellis and Wren on the girls list
Blake and Brody on the boys list.

Eden would also fit well in your list as a unisex name (although I personally prefer it for a girl)

I would assume Ellis was a boy. I really don't think it's unisex, I think it's a boy's name that people sometimes give girls because they think that's cool.

TurquoiseAndPurple · 06/06/2019 23:25

@bridgetreilly that's just not true. It's been a unisex name for a long time. I think it's quite frilly and pretty! It's my sisters name and I always thought it sounded odd on boys.

Jossina · 07/06/2019 00:06

@TurquoiseAndPurple why can't boys be frilly and pretty?

TurquoiseAndPurple · 07/06/2019 00:22

@Jossina Hmm oh c'mon... Where did I say boys can't be frilly and pretty? I was pointing out that Ellis can be unisex/femenine too. Don't try and make my comment about something else. 🙄🙄🙄

TurquoiseAndPurple · 07/06/2019 00:26

And I've always thought it sounded odd on boys because it's my sisters name. It was a long time before I realised it was more commonly known as a boys name. I suppose now it doesn't sound as odd but for years it did, now that I've gotten used to it.

Combos of Jude, Mateo, Violet, Wren

MikeUniformMike · 07/06/2019 14:50

Thomas and Luke
Alexandra/Alexis and Violet

It doesn’t matter if you see the name as a girl or a boy, OP is asking for suggestions. I love all the names on your list but based on the names of your other children I think Mateo, Violet and Ines are the best because they are also unusual but not unheard of!

Sophronia · 07/06/2019 18:12

Thomas means twin so that would be a good one to use. I like Thomas and Luke or Thomas and Alexander.

Paultrybudget · 07/06/2019 18:16

Thomas, Alexander or Harry

Violet and Ivy

Turquoiseandpurple thanks, I was thinking Blake would be too similar to Blair so I wasn’t sure if it would work. I love Mateo it was my uncles name (Spanish descent) and I was trying to think of some Spanish girls names to go with it if we have a bit and a girl. I am worried about the popularity of Aria and Maia, thanks for the suggestion of Kaia will have to ask DH about it. I came across Alia as a variation of Aria the other day but it can be pronounced two ways (A-lea) and (ah-lia).
