Twin girl names

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!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 29/06/2021 22:58

I'd possibly stick to shortish and two syllables to "match" your other daughters but probably different ending sounds and different starting initials so none of the girls names sound too alike (so Hazel would work well imo), maybe:

Iris
Cora
Esme
Lara/Clara
Willow
Laurel
Nina
Anya/Anna
Juno
Cleo
Amber
Freda
Stella

Congratulations I have twin girls too, I had Alice for one of my names all the way through my pregnancy and at the last minute changed my mind.

Beatrice has been mentioned quite a few times & one of my girls is called Beatrice. Her twin sister calls her BB, which just melts my heart 💜

Wren and Linnet? With a bird theme?

We had fun making lists because we chose not to know the sex of our twins. That meant lists for two girls, two boys, and one of each! We had one of each.

Imagine choosing for triplets or quads!

Georgia and Lucy are lovely.

JuneJustRains · 01/07/2021 10:00

Not Chloe with Zoë, though!

Rose or Rosa is great.

I also like the ‘matchy but different initial’ sound of DC’s twin friends Georgie and Jess. Would also work with, say, Clara and Katy.
