Names for Eliza’s brother and sister

39 replies

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.

Alice and Luca
Freya and Jack
Sadie and Henry

I’m so sorry that your lovely Eliza died.

Your name choices are lovely

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

Eliza, Matilda and Oscar

All great choices

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