Hi everyone, DH and I are expecting twin girls this January. We have a shortlist of names that we will definitely be using, but are unsure of which two would fit best, and I'm interested to hear your opinions.
Felicity
Julia
Astrid
Linnea
Clara
Nora
Margaret

Ooh yes that’s perfect! Big fan of having two middle names and nice nod to your DH’s heritage!

My favourite of those combos, in no particular order:
Astrid and Clara
Felicity and Clara

Julia Diana
Linnea Eloise

So beautiful!!!

Felicity Diana and Clara Eloise

bekindbekindbekind · 26/10/2021 19:17

Linnea is my favourite of them all!

OrangeAndYellowAndBlue · 26/10/2021 19:25

I like Julia and Astrid the best, but I'm not sure they go together.

For that reason, I think I'd choose Julia and Felicity. They are tied together by being Roman names, but they don't sound matchy or rhymey.

Clara is my next favourite, but I know a few babies with this name, and you have such nice unusual names on your list!

HereWeGoAgains · 26/10/2021 19:27

Felicity and Clara.

KirstenBlest · 26/10/2021 19:31

Felicity - too long
Julia - will she be Yulia to half her family? Nice but I don't like Jules as a nn
Astrid - nice
Linnea - nice but a bit long
Clara - I don't like it but it might be nice in Sweden
Nora - don't like
Margaret - like

Twins usually become Bill-and-Ben [substitute actual names] so do you really want to be calling out Linnea-and-Felicity a lot?

Hirewiredays · 26/10/2021 19:32

I am an identical twin and we have very different names. I love that you have chosen a set of very different names; and not names that sound similar or start with the same letter. I hope all goes well!

Hirewiredays · 26/10/2021 19:33

I love Nora and Clara! Beautiful!

DramaAlpaca · 26/10/2021 19:34

Felicity and either Julia or Clara.

helpmum2003 · 26/10/2021 21:57

Linnea and Astrid because of the Swedish link. I also like Clara.
