Camille and ...."twin 2"....help please

We've just discovered we're having twins.

One definitely appears to be a girl. The second we're not sure. So is "twin 2" Grin

I have partial french heritage and so love the name Camille. I like Claudia for her potential sister, but don't love it like Camille. Any suggestions? Also keen on Adrianna and love Eugenie, but I think she'd forever get the Fergie reference. Saskia is pretty but not too sure it goes with Camille.

For a brother, bit stumped. Potentials are Max, Harry, Edward, Marcus and Charles. My favourite of those is Charles, but then I can't really have a Charles and Camille...

Any thoughts?

I don’t know why, but I thought Elinor when I saw Camille...it’s not even how I’d usually spell it, but it felt like it would go! Claudia doesn’t work with Camille imo - how about Claudine, to keep the French theme?

Otto for a boy? Though I do like Marcus and Max.

Congratulations btw - how exciting!

I really like Madeleine, but (seriously not being baity) sadly too synonymous with McCann imo.

Twin mum here. I would avoid anything with the same initial as that can be confusing. Also anything that says set - so yes no Charles and Camille Grin. I like all of your other boy names. Also Adrianna goes well. Lots of the suggestions above are pretty too.

Helena, Irina, Olive, Juillet, and Elaina are also contenders.

Would Juillet be obvious to most how to pronounce? (Jus-let/Choo-let) or do you think she'd be forever correcting Juliet?

Antoinette?

daisypond · 21/07/2019 21:33

Juillet as in July? I don’t know that as a name. Might be mangled in the UK, but as it’s a month some will learn it in school. For twins I’d avoid names with the same initial. Delphine? Marine?
