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!

@TatianaBis

Love Violet and Hazel. I think your pregnancy hormones are leading you astray.
Excuse me?? What a ridiculous, bizarre and untrue thing to say! I just went off the names, it had nothing to do with my hormones or anything “leading me astray”! 🤨

We have now chosen new names that we love.
Thank you everyone else for the sensible responses and ideas!

Ooh what are the new names you’ve chosen? Are either from suggestions here?

Willowthewispp · 31/07/2021 01:34

Olivia and Molly
Pheobe and Olivia
Tia and Annie
Molly and Maisy

Elspethelf · 02/08/2021 09:05

Congratulations!! I see you've already chosen but I have to add my two! I'm fickle and change my mind often, but if I were giving birth to twin girls today it would be Selma and Miranda (Mira for short)
