Names for Eliza’s brother and sister

I’ve found out today that we are having boy/ girl twins.

Dd1 is called Eliza. I am really struggling to think of names I love as much but want to think of some names to help me enjoy this pregnancy. To explain briefly why, Eliza died at the start of the year and I don’t get to say her name very often anymore.

For girls, I love the names Annie and Matilda. For boys, I have no idea!

Any suggestions please? Hopefully Eliza will give some ideas of the sorts of names I like.

Annie and Oscar is a wonderful combination! And then the three children all have vowel names, which is a lovely link but not at all matchy.

@Robs20 I love Oscar that’s a great choice for your little boy. Max and Jude are strong names too though with slight preference for Max over Jude.

Annie or Matilda are both perfect - slight preference for Matilda but love both

I love “Matilda and Max” as a combo - think that sounds so cool x

You have great taste in names

I wouid suggest Anne Elizabeth and Alexander Charles; Annie and Alex

Eliza is one of my favourite names. Smile
I was going to suggest Elettra, but not if Eliza is to be the middle name.

Your name choices are lovely

Matilda Elizabeth is lovely. Annie is a lovely name too. Oscar for a boy is a great name.

Quite a few of the names suggested are already taken by friends/ their children (Theo, Freya, Luca) but so many great options. Thank you :)
