Help with second twin girl

Twin 1 will be called Abigail and I already have a little girl called Alice.

I am really struggling with another name. I previously liked Isla but I have now discounted. My current top name is Juliet but it just doesn't feel right.

Any ideas of fairly traditional names? I would prefer if it wasn't another A name.

I know it's another A name but I like Anna.

Loulou1712 · 13/06/2022 19:48

Penelope (biased as it's my eldests' name)
Charlotte

But I do like juliet too.

Id personally choose a really old or really modern names to go with Abigail to avoid the 80s vibe too much i.e Abigail and Louise were common names when I was growing up, Abigail definately still works but certain pairings could date it if you get what I mean x

The danger of biblically named twins is people may assume you are a god botherer, which may or may not bother you

Go all A's. Anna is a classic.

17caterpillars1mouse · 14/06/2022 20:07

Love Abigail.

What about Abigail and Bethan?

Junglejanie · 14/06/2022 20:33

Thanks everyone I think we are going to go with Juliet, a lot of people have praised it in this thread and it's made me like it more. The others I am toying with are Kate and Emma.
I do feel guilty though that I love Alice and Abigail so much that I am giving the third baby a name that I don't love as much. I just hope I don't change my mind and regret it.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Oh, Juliet is great Smile

Juliet is a wonderful name. if I had a third daughter she'd have been Juliet (I also have an Alice).

Oh, and Libby!

I love the idea of another A! Only because I think maybe your non A daughter might one day feel left out?! Might be projecting there, but could feel more of a unit if all of them are A’s. Given Alice and Abigail are quite traditional beautiful names what about any of these A’s:

Ada
Anna
Avery
Amelia

Luredbyapomegranate · 14/06/2022 22:37

All nice, but Alice, Abigail and Emma goes best of those choices, I think

Hadtocomment · 14/06/2022 22:56

Esther? I really like Jemima as so characterful. Rosalind. Jessica. Angeli. Vivianne. Beatrix. Anne.

KirstenBlest · 15/06/2022 12:12

Give the name you are looking for to the first twin born, not the second.
That way your DDs will be Alice, Zoe and Abigail, and the twins will be Zoe and Abigail.
The younger twin/younger child will always come last but will come first in alphabetical order lists of first names. Not many names will be before Abigail on alphabetically sorted lists unless you go for Aaliya or Aadriti.

@Hadtocomment , did you mean Anjali?
