Twin with Thomas

40 replies

My husband and I are expecting twins in late July- One boy and one girl. The boys name will be Thomas as it is a family name. (My uncle, granddad and cousins). We are unsure what to name our daughter, I like Sapphire and Frances (Frankie as a nickname). Any suggestions?

Sapphire sounds like a pornstar name to me. Francesca/Frankie is fine, though I prefer Chessie as nn.

Astrid 😁
Sorry I put this name on every name thread (for a girl), but nobody has used it yet. 😞

Honestly I'm not a fan of either. Sapphire too "out there" when paired with Thomas - though would make a fantastic middle name. And Frances just doesn't sit well with Thomas for me, maybe it's the similar second syllable in each name.

What about Francesca with the nn Frankie?

Thomas and Francesca.

Sapphire is not good I don’t think. Agree with PP and I don’t really like Frances

Thomas is great though

How about Sadie

I love Frankie, especially with Thomas

Geraldine shortened to Gerry.
I would do that.

Frances is beautiful.

Sapphire isn't really in the same style I think.

How about Sara, Sasha, Saskia?

What about an alliterative name:
Thomas and Tessa
Thomas and Tamara
Etc

I always think it’s nice to use similar letters for twin / sibling names.. makes a nice pair without being too matchy. Good luck! Flowers

DramaAlpaca · 11/02/2020 23:13

It's a bit obvious calling a twin Thomas.

We haven't had a Sapphire thread for a while.

firesong · 11/02/2020 23:22

Aw, I like Sapphire! And the names don't really have to "match", the twins will be people with their own lives as well as they grow up.

emmathedilemma · 12/02/2020 11:38

I don’t think your girls names are of the same genre as Thomas. It’s a classic, timeless name and Sapphire definitely isn’t! I think Thomas goes with the elizabeth, Sophie, Emma, Emily, Isobel type names.

Frankie is nice but personally I prefer Francesca or Francine to Frances.
Congratulations!

Francesca is nice and goes with Thomas. Sapphire is awful, different vibe altogether.
