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!

Hi OP, just wondering if you've had your twins yet and which names you decided on?

Oops didn't read the thread properly! Congratulations, lovely names, love that you went with a nature theme

Maireas · 20/10/2021 16:20

I'm glad you gave them names with different initials. That'll help in the future!
Pretty names, congratulations!

You won't get much nicer than Hazel and Violet.

I’ve already given birth and named my babies. I didn’t want Hazel and Violet.

I can't stand either Violet or Hazel so well done!

They're in fashion now but your instinct is correct. Ok, they're old names, but they're just not that nice - both harsh. They've popped into favour now, but they will soon go out again. Violet was the last of the flower names to be revived for a good reason!- Vi is hideous.

Eden, Zoe, Anna and Cora
Eden, Zoe, Lola and Nia

I think - short, punchy and strong, but familiar, like your other two.

Oh sorry - missed your update!

Sorry ignore me I didn't see that there were multiple pages I like the names you chose better than my suggestion anyway haha.

clpsmum · 22/10/2021 06:45
