Identical Twin Girls - Eliza and ???

[SurpriseSurprise]

I’m 19+5 with identical twins girls and we struggling with a name for one twin

We’ve agreed on Eliza for one, but haven’t decided on a middle name yet.

I really like Lexi, but I don’t know if I sounds like a “real” full name or if it sounds like it’s short for something. However I can’t work out what Lexi could be short for, I don’t want Alexa because of the whole Amazon thing!!!! I’m also unsure if Lexi and Eliza sound too harsh

DH has suggested we honour his late mum (who I never met) who’s name was Enid but always called Ellie. But I think having two “E” names is naff, whether it’s Enid and Eliza or Ellie and Eliza. Plus I don’t know anyone under about 70 called Enid.

So any suggestions on what could go with Eliza?!

Eliza and Isabella go well together, also gives a slight nod to MIL.

Eliza and Clara
Eliza and Amy
Eliza and Fiona
Eliza and Isobel( Ellie and Izzy)

My friend is an Alexia and called Lexi. I do think of Lexi being very modern and Eliza very traditional but maybe that's just me (and doesn't matter anyway). Or

Eliza and Eloise
Eliza and Isabel
Eliza and Violet
Eliza and Olive

Clara

Eliza & Emily
Eliza & Ayda
Eliza & Imogen
Eliza & Verity
Eliza & Lucia
Eliza & Lydia

Margot.
Sandra.

I’m not too keen on Lexi with Eliza tbh

Eliza and

Matilda
Alice
Flora
Lottie
Olive
Daisy
Nancy
Penelope
Betsy
Florence
Clara
Molly
Juliet

Eliza and Sylvie.

Jessica

Eliza can be shortened to Lizzie, that might clash with Lexi.

Often you will be saying their names at the same time so it's handy if they roll of the tongue together.

How about Carrie and Eliza

I also like Mary and Alice. Definitely need another classic name alongside Eliza.

I know two women named Lexi. One is Alexandra, one is Alexis. I quite like Lexi and Eliza!

Bella
Mara
Mae
Eva

Exactly this

I don't. You will end up with two teenagers calked Ellie with separate friends.

Yes agreed. I love this.

My first thought was -

Eliza and Hazel

I also like -

Eliza and Beatrix
Eliza and Violet
Eliza and Lucy
Eliza and Felicity
Eliza and Fern
Eliza and Imogen
Eliza and Amelie
Eliza and Juliet

I’m liking Imogen! Plus I could sell it to DH as Enid Blyton’s daughter was Imogen

He isn’t feeling Lexi, and has said that we can use it for the next dog. I still like it, but I just don’t think it goes with Eliza.

He suggested Theodora tonight but I’m not sure. I love Theodore but that extra syllable is a bit much I think

Eliza and Bella

Both derive from Elizabeth.

Meaning joyful and beautiful

Sorry I really dislike Lexi but I like Alexandra which goes well with Eliza.
Enid is ok but not with Eliza.
Did his grandma have a middle name?
I think Eliza fits well with...
Sadie
Amelie
Beatrice
Sophie
Matilda
Kate
Tabitha

Ooh I love Theodora but prefer Dorothea (and Thea is a gorgeous nn).
Imogen works well too.

Can anyone explain why Lexie is ‘awful’ and why it doesn’t go with Eliza? I get not liking a name but wondered what is specifically terrible about it and in what ways it doesn’t match with Eliza.

Eliza and Rebecca

Cara
June
Maria
Flora
May
Greta
Laurel

The first name that came to mind when I read your post was Abigail

When I saw the title of your post before opening I tried to think of names and thought of Enid 😂 I agree that I don’t think it is a very modern name though but couldn’t just not reply as I found it funny you had been talking about it.
Etta?
