Twin girls name

[Ellecrawford]

Hi everybody, my twin girls are due end of February 2020😊💗 names are a huge problem though!! I obviously want them to have there own identity, however (I don't know whether this will get hate) but I would love for their names to be matching also.. a list of names I really like are ...

Darla
Hattie
Heidi
Gracie
Penelope
Elsie
Dollie
Delilah
Wynter
Rosabella
Lilia
Liliana
Darcy

The names I love together are
Rosabella & Lilia
Liliana & Violet
Heidi & Hattie
Delilah & Dollie
Darla & Darcey
Faith & Hope
Harlow & Harper

Is it bad to put names together that start with the same letter? Or that both have same meanings such as flowers? I reeeeeaaalllyy need help😩

Thanks so much xx

Darla - Pretty. I also love Dahlia.
Hattie - I like as a stand alone name.
Heidi - I love this.
Gracie - It's OK
Penelope - I like, but prefer Nelly to Penny.
Elsie - Pretty, but becoming popular.
Dollie - I like, but very cutesy.
Delilah - Pretty. One of my favourites.
Wynter - I like.
Rosabella - Love this. Also Rosanna and Rosalie.

Thanks everyone so hard to pick names, can't remember having this much trouble with my eldest 😩

What’s your eldest’s name?

Hattie and Gracie sounds lovely. You could use Harriet and Grace if you wanted formal names and nicknames.

Violet and Penelope are nice, quite classy. Harlow and Harper are dreadful.

As has already been pointed out, same gender and date of birth plus the same first initial doesn't do much to create a sense of the individual. You've listed some lovely names but I'd pair them differently e.g. Harriet and Penelope - so both have longer first names and the option of a number of nicknames e.g. Hattie, Harry or Penny, Nell, Pip. Maybe link their middle names instead so have Harriet Faith and Penelope Hope?

I think it's best that the names have the same style and feel, but not be too matchy - I don't like them starting with the same letter.

From your list (and variations) I like these pairs:
Penelope and Rosa
Grace and Penelope
Grace and Rosa
Penelope and Violet
Darcy and Wynter
Elsie and Hattie
Elsie and Lilia.
Lilian and Violet
Gracie and Hattie

Penelope and Heidi.

Violet and Delilah sound gorgeous together!

The initials of Delilah and Violet might be a bit of a problem.

Any decisions made @Ellecrawford

@PlantPotting we've decided on one and the name isn't even on my list but DH mentioned it to me a couple of nights ago and it's Annie.. took me a while to warm up to it but I love it now💗

I would forget that they are twins and think of them as two individuals, which of course they are. Give them the two names you like best.

How about
Harriet and Delilah - hattie and lila as nn
Heidi and faith
Or
Jodie and alice
Katie and Darla

Love the name Annie...how about Elsie or Heidi for number 2?

Lilliana and Violet- so pretty!

Annie & Heidi

I'm not that keen on any of your names really - we have different tastes, which is fine, but

definitely give them different initials, and this is really thoughtful The first born twin has the name that's further down the alphabet, so on school registers etc the second born twin gets her name called out first.
