My twin girls are nearly two weeks old and I cannot decide on their names! Other half likes Margot & Maeve? Opinions/suggestions please?

Both beautiful names but a little similar I think. Love Margot the most. How about Margot and Pearl - a link of both being a variation of Margaret without sounding the same. Or Margot and Polly. Congratulations on your two little girls! How sweet 💕

Also like Maeve and Pearl together. Both one syllable and with the ae/ea look lovely written together.

Charlotte + Jessica are a person fave

Both beautiful but too close for siblings and twin Sisters for me.

What names do you like? Maybe you and hubby could choose one first name each?
Or I like the suggestion if using one for a first name and one for a middle.

I'd give them different initials.
They will be usually called The Twins.

Both are lovely names but I'd go for different initials to simplify things as they get older. It wasn't deliberate but my DDs' initials are the reverse of each other and on occasions one has opened the other's bank statements because they were addressed to NA SE13 even though her initials are AN SE13.

If you want the names to connect, you could go for Margot and Pearl, Margot and Daisy or Margot and Polly? Or perhaps Maeve and Nora, Maeve and Erin or Maeve and Orla?

As Margot is a name that is becoming increasingly popular, maybe pair it with another that's similarly popular e.g. Felicity, Iris, Ada, Phoebe.

Congratulations .. I cringe a bit at matchy names .. The same first letters or rhyming etc seems twee , it's much better to give them individual names .. X

I think they are fine together. The names are quite different except for the initial letter.
There are many other ways to preserve their individuality
Congratulations. No problems in keeping family members from overwhelming you with visits but hope your husband is furloughed or working from home and available to support you
