Hello, me and my partner are expecting twins, in about three months from now, and we are team green. We have compiled a names of list we like, and middle names are most likely going be Annemarie (if they're both girls, we're planning on splitting the name to Anne and Marie). For boys; Otto and Dean. And here are the names we've agreed on:
Girls:
Gabrielle
Camille
Odette
Juliana
Rosemary
Briar-Rose
Genevieve

Boys:
Sebastian
Archibald
Julien
Felix
Jackson
Joseph
Gabriel
Camille

Any suggestions are welcomed! Thank you! - June, and Patrick

@emmathedilemma We know that they're fraternal, so there's a good we might get one if each or both of the same gender

sex not gender

Juliana and Genevieve for girls

Sebastian and Felix for boys

I don't know which pairing for a boy and girl, though.

Love the name Odette

partyatthepalace · 26/05/2021 19:46

My favourites of your girls are Rosemary and Genevieve - both lovely and underused.

For two boys Sebastian and Gabriel

If one of each then any combo really but I think Sebastian and Genevieve or Rosemary and Gabriel work best

Of the rest I like Juliana but so long she will likely end up Julie - maybe Julia or Juliet? The rest are a bit fussy for me and would avoid double barrels

Boys - I like them all other than Jackson (too many Jacks and Jackson’s in the world)

resm · 26/05/2021 23:03

Two boys: Joseph & Gabriel
Two girls: Juliana & Camille
Boy/Girl: Joseph & Juliana or Gabriel & Camille!

subbysammiexoxo · 27/05/2021 01:48

Gabrielle Anne and Juliana Marie as above said if both girls

Julien Otto and Joseph dean for both boys

If a mix Gabrielle and Julien are my favourites

Imcrc · 27/05/2021 06:40

Great names! I love Rosemary and Genevieve! I also love love love Felix!

Saltyslug · 27/05/2021 06:51

Girls names I like Odette and Camille. However I prefer Oriel to odette

Boys names Sebastian and Felix are very nice and sit well together

A boy girl mix would be Oriel and Sebastian or Felix

Saltyslug · 27/05/2021 06:54

Sebastian and Camille also work

LadyGAgain · 27/05/2021 07:25

Camille is a girls name only and lovely.
Briar-Rose is awful.
Julian is the wet kid from the famous five.
Sebastian and Gabriel work.
Genevieve is pretty.

CthulhuChristmas · 27/05/2021 11:40

Juliana is my favourite!

Two girls: Gabrielle Anne and Juliana Marie
Two boys: Felix Otto and Gabriel Dean
One of each: Gabriel Dean and Juliana Marie

Of the other names I don't like Briar-Rose, Rosemary, Odette, Jackson, Archibald, or Camille for a boy, but think the others are quite nice.

RusholmeRuffian · 27/05/2021 11:44

Briar Rose is a Wetherspoons in Birmingham

Aurorie11 · 27/05/2021 11:50

Briar Rose is a Wetherspoons pub in Birmingham, so that's a no from me

SleepingStandingUp · 27/05/2021 11:56

Gabrielle - love, goes with Marie
Camille - no
Odette - no
Juliana - yes with Maire
Rosemary - meh
Briar-Rose - I like but would be tempted to mix it with Aurora
Genevieve -lovely,would work with Anne

So Genevieve Anne and Gabrielle Marie

Boys:
Sebastian love, would work with Otto
Archibald no
Julien no
Felix no
Jackson no
Joseph ok
Gabriel love , I'd go with Deab
Camille no

Sebastian Otto and Gabriel Dean

Or Genevieve and Gabriel

adrianmolesmole · 27/05/2021 16:13

Love Briar-Rose Marie! Not sure of your other girl names, though I think another flower/nature related name would go with mn Anne.

And for boy, Sebastian Dean or Gabriel Dean/ Gabriel Otto.

HeadlessGummyBears · 29/05/2021 00:02

From your list I like;
Rosemary & Briar-Rose
Rosemary & Genevieve
Rosemary & Joseph
Rosemary & Sebastian
Sebastian & Julian
Sebastian & Felix
Joseph & Sebastian
Joseph & Gabriel

I can relate to this so much I had twin boys in September, one of my little men didn't have a name until he was 3 days old and I'm glad I didn't rush the decision as I love his name I don't know if I've ever heard of anyone called it, Cody and Ríon my two rainbows in one

badatcrochet1996 · 03/06/2021 23:28

I'm sorry but other than Joseph I'm not keen on any of them. Definite no to Briar Rose.

Julia is nicer.

Joseph and Julia? Eh, maybe not.
