Twin girl names

[loveoflavender]

Hello all.
My boyfriend and I are expecting twin girls! We had the names Violet and Hazel picked out and were so set on them, but then for some reason - I don’t actually know why? - I just completely went off the names. I can’t explain why I did, but they just don’t feel right at all now.
So now we are back to square one!
We can’t think of anything or agree on any names now.
I already have an Eden Grace and Zoë Nicole from my previous marriage, so I can’t use either of those names.
Also not keen on Lily, Leah, Amelia, Ellie/Ella, Sophia, Isla, Ava, Evie or Poppy as they are all very overused names around where I live.

We want something ‘normal sounding’ - nothing TOO unique or “out there”, and nothing TOO old fashioned.

The last name/father’s name is one syllable and begins with W.
Please help!

Violet and Hazel are my hypothetical future twin girls names!

I also like Hazel and Olive together. Or Freya and Astrid.

Violet and Hazel are lovely!

Just to say PLEASE don't call two daughters Olive and Mabel! Those are the names of Andrew Cotter's dogs, who he made famous over the pandemic with his funny commentary videos. Lovely dogs, but it's not an association most people would want.

(Do look up the videos on YouTub though, very cute!)

Freya and Astrid are gorgeous. I might steal those if I ever have twin girls...

Violet and Hazel are each individually lovely and go well together. My mind is a blank as to alternatives but as a twin myself, I can only beg and implore you not to go down the Posie and Rosie, Molly and Polly route. And don't choose the same first initial (or a lifetime of mix ups by officialdom awaits...)

Some lovely suggestions here, thank you!
I don’t really like the whole rhyming names thing. I don’t mind names beginning with the same letter so much, as long as they’re not too similar.

And to whoever said to stick with Violet and Hazel, I really don’t want to. I went right off them unfortunately. They just don’t feel right/fit :(

Hazel is great. Violet always looks like Violent to me, so really dislike. How about Tamsin or Hebe?

It's natural sometimes to go off names completely, so don't feel bad about.

With twin names, I quite like when the first and middle names start with alternate letters. For example, Eva Pearl and Phoebe Evelyn. That way they have a link between them that only a handful of people know about. Maybe you could have a play around with that if you're not a fan of rhyming names.

(I'm not suggesting Eva Pearl and Phoebe Evelyn by the way, although I think they're both nice names! That was just an example )

Names that you might like:
Ivy
Clara
Ruby
Hannah
Eliza
Imogen
Naomi
Lucy
Eloise
Iris
Erin
Lydia
Cleo
Brooke
Bethany
Holly
Molly
Esme
Maya
Thea
Fern
Nina
Lena
Stella
Cora
Beatrice
Elise

Hazel is my middle name and the big problem is a lot of people drop their Hs. (Maybe not where you live!)

AY-zull is so ugly

Eden & Zoe are beautiful names! I think Hazel & Violet go really well with them but when you go off a name you go off it. I also like -

Reina
Lyra
Piper
Josie
Mila
Lara

Amber and Scarlett?

Rosa and Naomi

Leah and Ruby

Caroline and Hannah

Kirsty and Iris

Congratulations! Also fwiw I love Violet and Hazel!
