Twin girls due in May

We are having twin girls due in 3 weeks so time is running out to finalise names! Me and DH are struggling to agree on middle name combos. We are nearly certain on
Eliza
Matilda
For first names. Middle name options are all after relatives and are as follows:
Louise
Daisy
Jean
Madeline
Willow
Juliet
This thread might make our decision more difficult but wanted to know what combinations others think sound best. If Matilda and Eliza are not your style and you find them hideous ect please refrain from saying so as I don’t want to second guess them as well!
Thanks in advance

I have an Eliza 😊 and absolutely love the name Matilda. I would say Eliza Madeline and Matilda Daisy or Matilda Willow. Not a massive fan of the name Jean and I think Louise is overused as a middle name.

Eliza Jean.
Matilda Willow.

Matilda Jean and Eliza Daisy, or Eliza Juliet

You are massively overthinking this. Almost no one uses middle names and no one apart from new parents and grandparent use full names so it literally doesn't matter if the names go together or not! Just choose the names you like the most and as long as they don't sound silly together go for them.

@WhereWasThatFrom I disagree, don’t think overthinking.

We thought out everything from how the names would sound to their meaning collectively and the initials.

Gives a story and it’s something the baby will be with their whole life. Part of their identity. Plus some prefer their middle names and use these later in life. About 3/20 kids in every class of my school used middle name.

I love these names!
My picks would be
Eliza Madeline or Eliza Louise (with nn Li-Lu but im a huge sci-fi nerd Smile and Matilda Willow (with nn Mattie as Mattie Willow is a serious contender as a superhero name)

Congratulations!! Flowers

I wasn't saying you shouldn't choose a lovely middle name I was just pointing out that almost no one ever uses or refers to someone using their first and middle names so worrying about whether they match is pointless. Just choose the name you like the most. I agree that you need to check that the initials are ok.

A story or special meaning to a middle name is nice though.
