Struggling to name my twins

46 replies

Me and DH are struggling with choosing names for our twins, boy and girl. We are down to three girl names, but boy names we are really struggling with.

Our girl names are;
-Maggie (my current favourite, it changes daily though)
-Edie
-Mabel

Then for boy names we like;
-Michael
-Isaac
-Luca

But I'm not 100% sure on them. Thought I would have chosen by now, but I'm more indecisive than I realised.

Name Suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well as a few opinions on the names I have stated. Smile

Edie and Luca I think are the nicest together.

I don’t like the same first initial for siblings so that rules out some of your combinations.

Love all the girls names.
Prefer Lucian to Luca.
Other suggestions for a boy:
Alexander lots of nn, my favourite is Xander.
Adam
Paul.

Michael and Maggie is fab.

greytminds · 29/08/2019 21:06

I’m not keen on Maggie or Michael. The others are fine and all go well in any combination. If you’re going for an Italian sounding boy’s name like Luca, I’d think it would go better with similarly Italian name like Francesca or Anna.

If I had twins, I would have gone with Anya and Felix I think.

Poetryinaction · 29/08/2019 21:08

I would have Will and Anna.

joystir59 · 29/08/2019 21:14

Our girl names are;
-Maggie (my current favourite, it changes daily though) I am not keen.
-Edie I am not keen.
-Mabel I actively dislike this
My suggestions would be: Mathilda, Madeline, Edwina, all of which would deliver a great range of nn

Then for boy names we like;
-Michael good
-Isaac good
-Luca ok, but I prefer Luke
My additional suggestions would be: Elijah (Eli), Gabriel, James.

Chocolatecake12 · 29/08/2019 21:22

Mabel and Isaac are my favourite of your names and go really well together
Other suggestions
Nicholas and Jennifer
Anna and James
Nancy and Ethan
Nathaniel and Beatrice
Harriet and Toby
Imogen and Benjamin

Peachbubble · 29/08/2019 21:31

I like Edie and Luca

Atlasta · 29/08/2019 21:32

I only really like Isaac out of all your names. I think it's a lovely, strong timeless name.
Mabel is the nicest girl's name but I'm not really a fan.

Clayplease · 29/08/2019 21:34

I like Maggie & Isaac together, though we have an Edie and I love that name too! Mabel is another great name. Can you use some as middle names?

neverornow · 29/08/2019 21:35

Edie and Luca sound gorgeous together. Very twinny

Shadow1234 · 29/08/2019 22:38

Congratulaions on twins x

Edie and Luca - lovely combination.

Tillygetsit · 29/08/2019 22:43

Mabel and Isaac win for me. Lovely.

pickletickled · 29/08/2019 23:05

I like Mabel and Isaac.
I like Edie too but would have that with Oliver or Jacob (My boy suggestions)

Congratulations

milliefiori · 29/08/2019 23:07

Edie and Isaac were both on my shortlist so I'd go for them. Gorgeous. Edie and Luca also work brilliantly.

Can't get past Maggie Thatcher for Maggie (showing my age!) Mabel is cute.

Hooleywhipper · 29/08/2019 23:12

Mabel and Luca

Jade218 · 29/08/2019 23:12

Eddie and Luca are lovely x

Cathyheathcliff · 29/08/2019 23:12

I like Maggie. Would you use Margaret on the birth certificate? I prefer Lucas to Luca but Margaret and Lucas are my favourites.
Other suggestions;
Elena and Adam
Genevieve and Theodore
Maeve and Elijah
Meredith and Vincent
Cerys and Rory
Rosalie and Liam

Yika · 29/08/2019 23:38

I really like Maggie and Michael as a combination.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/08/2019 23:49

Oh twins fab. Congratulations.
I’d pair them
Luca and Edie
Michael and Maggie
Mabel and Isaac.

Other ideas.
Emily and James
Penny and Tom
Katie and Ben
Daisy and Jack
Gracie and Harry
Jessica and Francis
Annie and Oliver

AverageMummy · 30/08/2019 00:11

I love Luca
Don’t really like the others - what about Eden?

IsobelRae23 · 30/08/2019 00:43

I’m not keen on any. My preference is
Issac and Mabel

Maggie cute for a baby, think the simpsons. But Maggie is too babyish if you look at an older teen, adult.
Edie, again as above. But I don’t like either.

Michael is very 70’s 80’s name. Luca is muh.

My suggestions:-
Boy
Avery, Alister, Alexander, Ashton, Baxter, Carter, Cole, Drew, Emmett, Ezra, Fabian, Gideon, Grayson, Grey, Horacio, Hunter, Jackson, Joel, Leon, Levi, Lennon, Micah, Nate, Nathanial, Quinn, River, Reid, Rufus, Raife, Riley, Regan, Samson, Saul, Seth, Sean, Tate, Tegan,

Girl
Avery, Athena, Aurora, Arabella, Arianna, Brook, Blair, Blaise, Cassia, Clarissa, Callie, Delilah, Demi, Esme, Eloise, Eden, Elodie, Erin, Freya, Gianna, Hallie, Harper, Imogen, Jude, Jemima, Kayla, Leah, Layla, Lorna, Lara, Luna, Lexi, Mia, Marnie, Mila, Nia, Nova, Nellie, Ottilie, Pandora, Quinn, Renee, Ryley, Rae, Savannah, Talulah, Tamsin, Vivienne, Willow, Xavier,

Hunter and Harper
Micah and Marnie
River and Eden
Gideon and Pandora
Nate and Nova
Tate and Luna

Another vote for Edie and Luca, that's a beautiful combo!

katesalwayslate · 30/08/2019 07:17

Love all your girls names and any combination of the two would be adorable! Boys names seem very dull in comparison. Michael I really dislike, Isaac is okay, and Luca was a bit of a fad that ended a few years ago. The vintage girls names are so cute and they’d be wasted with kind of average boys names!
