Boy/girl twins. What goes with....

[Courtney555]

Max.

We thought we had two girls. So had kind of matchy style names (Camille and Claudia) in the pipeline.

Neither of those is the girls' name I love, but I kind of didn't mind because there were two, so it wouldn't be like one had my favourite name over the other. I like both the names, but no more than like.

Now it's turned out they're definitely boy/girl. So the boy will be Max. And I can't think of anything I like other than the name I can't have, now it's only one girls name I need. (It's been what my daughter has always been called in my head for the last 20yrs, and literally a year ago, this bitch who's connected directly to our family stole it, and yes I am fucking bitter) Spam me with names that go with Max please. Help me find something I love...

Max and Honor
Max and Morven

Max and Maelys

Is it your niece whose name name you love but can't use?

Max and Juliette
Max and Delphine
Max and Tatiana

Clotilde
Sophie
Lea
Naïa
Gisèle
Valérie
Florie
Céline
Remi

Tatiana
Cassie
Eleanor
Xanthe
Orla

Max and Eugenie are perfect together

I love Max and Eugenie. I met a little girl called Eugenie the other day - wonderful! I also like Philippa and Honour.
Clementine
Adrienne
Fabienne
Cressida

I've lost count of the number of people I know who've chosen a name for their baby pre birth, then when baby was born taken one look and gone "oh, he/she just didn't look like xxxx" and changed their mind. So maybe you just need a shortlist of names you like and you'll know when you see her.

How about Aliona or Xenia?

Julia
Susannah
Xanthe
Camille

Xanthe was going to be my daughter. Decided years and years ago. Turned out, dp didn’t like it so that was that!

How about Adeline? I think it's so pretty, would go with Max and Addy is a sweet nickname.

Antoinette
Carlotta
Claudine

Max and Sabrina.

Max and Xanthe is fab!

I think if the original name is long, don't have a really long name as it will look as if you tried to find something else. I'd be tempted to go the other way and have something fairly short to go with Max but that is BEAUTIFUL.

Max and Cecily
Max and Rosa
Max and Ingrid
Max and Thora
Max and Petra

Petrova? Like in Ballet Shoes?

I know forgiveness is really hard. But honestly don’t waste a second of the brain space you could give to your wonderful twins on bad feeling, for your own sake. Good luck

Petrova - fab name.

Frontrunners amongst friends seem to be:

Max and Adrianna
Max and Angelina
Max and Claudia
Max and Saskia

Max and Nina
Max and Ruby
Max and Lois

Of those I think Saskia is the best

Seriously @Courtney555 - I had my heart set on a name and told my SIL who blurted something out which made me think - I can't use that name. So not quite the same as you but when Ds came out and had the name we gave him I have never given it another moment's thought - please don't let this spoil any moment of joy you will have with your DD - I suspect there may come a time where you think you dodged a bullet.

I like Honor , Saskia , or Tatiana , Anastasia ?

Of your 4 front runners Saskia would win it for me by a country mile

Angelica
Isadora
Penelope
Ophelia
Emmeline
Seraphina

@BasiliskStare

Thank you my friends have been great, and (whether they genuinely think it or not) they are pushing it quite strongly that it's impossible to use my name now because it's got such an ugly connotation behind it now.

It's really helping. I get a little twinge of "eurgh" when I hear it now. And I don't want ever want that thought association with my little girl.

DM likes Saskia too. I really like Honor but friends have been "is that even a name?" Which has put me off a tiny bit.

Agree with basilisk
My vote is for Saskia.

Cross post!
Honor is my favourite girls name. It has everything imho. What does your dp like?
