Vote for these twin girl names. Have to decide today!

[Shortdebate]

Having a c-section tomorrow. Non ID twin girls. Have narrowed it down to the following:

Nina and Ella
Nina and Anna - our favourite two names but are they too similar?
Nina and Frida
Nina and Rosa

Nina is non-negotiable as it is very significant to us.

Nina and Rosa. The names are equals of each other- both a little bit vintage and not currently trendy.
I like Nina and Anna but agree it would get annoying to keep saying out loud.
Please not Nina and Ella- one twin gets a very common everyday name typical of her generation with maybe a couple of others in her class, and the other one gets the very pretty and memorable Nina- it seems unfair.

Nina & Rosa

I have an Anna so am a little biased in its favour but actually in reference to what another poster said upthread I do find I tend to stress the “na” when calling upstairs (and being soundly ignored these days). Nina and Rosa are a perfect pair without feeling “themed”.

Congratulations and good luck!

Nina and Rosa are beautiful.
Ella and Frida don’t fit as much imo
I love Anna but not with Nina. Too many n’s

Good luck, let us know what you decide!

Nina and Anna!

Nina and Anna

Re Nina and Anna being too similar, I would be sorely tempted to get your OH to stand at the other end of the house and practice shouting them to each other to see if you can hear the difference 🤣 if you can then I vote they are not too similar!*

If she does that, she’ll sound like an ambulance!!

Nina and Anna

I wanted my name to be Nina (still love it). I'd have been gutted to be called Frida.

This thread has made us think about using longer versions of Anna and Nina. Crazy this hasn’t occurred to us in the last 8 months!

If we do this they will be known as Nina and Anna but will have longer names they can use if they wish.

For Anna we like Roseanna. Trouble is we are less clear which longer name we like for Nina. Maybe Valentina or Christina.

Or we will just go with Anna and Nina.

Middle names will be Josephine and Elizabeth both of which are grandmothers’ names.

Roseanna Josephine
And Valentina Elizabth, gorgeous

Nina and Rosa

I do think Nina and Anna are a bit of a mouthful together but Anna and Nina isn't. That would mean that one would be the eldest and come first alphabetically.

If you did Georgina Elizabeth (Nina) and Rosanna Josephine (Anna) then you solve that problem.

Rosanna and Janina

Nina and Anna / Rosa. Anna being my favourite. Good luck!

Nina and Frida are too similar. Nina and Anna is lovely.

Nina and Anna - too difficult to say easily and frequently.
Nina and Frida - don't like the repeated 'i' sound.
Nina and Rosa are delightful. Nicely different to each other.

Nina and Rosa sound lovely together.
Anna is also nice though a bit similar to Nina, it's not too similar.

Good luck with the birth, hope all goes well x

Valentina and Rosanna!

Nina and Anna for short to use every day.

Good luck with their birth today OP!

Rosanna Elizabeth
Nina Josephine
They don’t both need a longer version too.

Rosanna would mean she could be Rosa or Anna. I wouldn’t lengthen Nina personally, it’s nice as it is.

Nina and Rosa is a beautiful combination.

I know sisters Nina and Rosa. Their mum is Anna. I like the name Anna best and think it's fine with Nina. But Nina and Rosa does 'go' better.

Why give them long names they won’t even use? It’ll just make things complicated. Your names youve selected are so lovely and simple and classic, I felt a bit sad seeing your updated message. Wouldn’t Christina for example be more likely to get called “Chris” or “Tina” — theres no Nina within the name. Hope all goes well today x

Nina and Rosa go really well together 😊
