Matilda and Tabitha

Tilly and Tabby. Lovely.

TheWayTheLightFalls · 12/09/2021 20:54

Anna and Rose for me, or Iris and Nina.

We're expecting b/g twins and Iris, Anna and Nina is our girls' shortlist Smile.

drpet49 · 12/09/2021 20:55

Number 1.

Hate Iris and hate Rose.

Luckingfovely · 12/09/2021 20:59
  1. Matilda & Tabitha - glorious and loads of options for nicknames
  2. Anna & Nina - too many 'n', don't work together at all
  3. Rose and Iris - totally twee, please don't use two flowers!
KirstenBlest · 12/09/2021 21:02

The thing I don't like about Anna and Nina for twins is that they will be 'Anna an'Nina'. Anna and Rosa would be nice.

I'd give DT2 the name that appears first alphabetically

LouLion · 12/09/2021 21:07
  1. Matilda & Tabitha - like Matilda, really hate Tabitha, sounds quite feline / prissy
  2. Anna & Nina - love Nina, Anna is ok but dull - too many Ns together
  3. Rose and Iris - both beautiful, not sure I'd use too floral names together - would probably swap one for something like Fern, Rowan, Willow, Sylvia or Hazel.

I would choose -

Matilda and Rose

Or

Iris and Nina

bringbackfonzi · 12/09/2021 21:16

Too matchy in my view. Twin sisters are better with completely different names.

pantherrose · 12/09/2021 21:26

Absolutely love Matilda and Tabitha!

BikeRunSki · 12/09/2021 21:30

1 is best, but not kern on Maddy and Tabby
2 Too many Ns, although Anna is my most favourite name
3 don’t like flower names, especially 2 together.

elfran · 12/09/2021 21:30

Anna & Rose or Nina & Iris.

I find your combos a bit matchy and clunky, sorry OP.

CharlieBoo · 12/09/2021 21:55

Rose and Iris

CaffiSaliMali · 12/09/2021 23:26

I was going to say Anna and Rose or Anna and Rosa.

Lucy, Zoe, Sophie, Chloe, Tess and Lydia came to mind with Anna or Nina.

Anna and Nina is my favourite combo you have, they both have an international, classic feel. Matilda and Tabitha are nice and I think they compliment each other without having a theme. I like Rose and Iris but would probably avoid two flower names.

DramaAlpaca · 13/09/2021 00:33

Rose and Iris.

PlainJane1000 · 13/09/2021 01:02

@elfran

Anna & Rose or Nina & Iris.

I find your combos a bit matchy and clunky, sorry OP.

I second these combos. Gorgeous.
Stevearnottsbeard · 13/09/2021 11:25

Love matilda, nina, iris and Anna but none of the combinations you put together, I'd mix them up a bit.
Matilda and anna
Iris and nina
Matilda and nina
Iris and anna
Matilda and iris

GADDay · 13/09/2021 11:45

Anna & Iris for me.

Turtlesone · 13/09/2021 12:02
  1. No too difficult to say together and you will be saying them together. Also Tilly and Tabby way too matchy matchy
  2. No again too similar
  3. Yes like this a lot, Rose and Iris sound lovely together, different enough but sound nice & easy to say!

I have twins and personally don’t like names on twins that match too much!

BikeRunSki · 13/09/2021 12:16

@GADDay

Anna & Iris for me.
This is a lovely combo
Turtlesone · 13/09/2021 12:24

Ohh someone suggested Matilda and Rose, love that.

Theoldwoman · 13/09/2021 13:02

Matilda and Tabitha

AnyaMoondial · 13/09/2021 13:45

Matilda and Tabitha.

Also really like the Nina and Rose combination that pp suggested.

ShouldersBackChestOutChinUp · 13/09/2021 13:46

Tabitha Rose and Matilda Iris.

I don't like Matilda too much. Sounds frumpy to me. Much prefer Clementine or Isadora.

ItWearsTheBatteriesOut · 13/09/2021 13:48

Think of shouting them together. Anna and Nina doesn't work for me, sounds like you are calling Anna and an ambulance.

@ItWearsTheBatteriesOut

Think of shouting them together. Anna and Nina doesn't work for me, sounds like you are calling Anna and an ambulance.

I agree with this

I have twins

When you are shouting for them in the park as lovely as mathilda and Tabitha is they are a bit of a mouthful when said together

Balonzette · 13/09/2021 13:59

My very very fave would be Iris and Tabitha or Rosa and Tabitha.

But Matilda and Tabitha my next best, with Rose and Iris number 2 (but do slightly prefer Rosa) and Anna and Nina slightly behind, purely because I think Anna is pretty but dull.
