Twins!

Shock to the system. 13 week scan and boom we have twins.

We won’t be finding out sexes however have been told they are identical therefore we need 2 boys and 2 girls names. Big sister is Niamh!

Boys names I’m leaning towards Thomas and Joseph (open to suggestions though)

Girls names we are a bit stuck. DD was always going to be Niamh or Orla. I’d quite like to use Orla, but have no idea what we would call the 2nd twin! Would it be a bit weird to have Niamh, Orla and then maybe something very English?

Thoughts please!

I also think Joseph & Thomas is great 👍

Girl twins, like PPs, I would do for something slightly Irish iykwim

Orla and Mary (not Mary & Joseph for b/g twins though Grin)
Orla and Fionnuala
Orla and Tara
Orla and Sinead
Orla and Bridget
Orla and Aoife
Orla and Roisin

I think it would be a little odd to have two Irish names and one not. I’d go for another easily recognisable Irish name like Niamh.

Congratulations, I’ve secretly always wanted twins!
For boys I will agree with previous posters and say stick with Thomas & Joseph , they are such lovely names and go so well together.
for girls:
Maeve
Grace
Alice
Willa
Erin
Kate
Sophie
Dilla
Harriet
love Niamh & Orla too

How about Órla and Innes? Or Órla and Cara?

Also it's already been mentioned but I love Maeve ☺️
