Twin Names!

[buttercup96]

Hi!!

First time mum here expecting twins - a girls and boy. Just wanted some advice on baby names as we are struggling to narrow it down!

For baby girl:
Florence
Clara
Esme (like es-mee)
Daisy
Stella
Emilia (nn Emmy)

For baby boy:
Nathaniel (nn Nate)
Alexander (nn Xander/ Alex)
Beckett (nn Kit)
Miles
Louis
Charlie (would want a longer name and charlie as nn, but haven’t found any we like yet!)

Opinions and favourites out of this list, names that pair well together, or any name suggestions that you think go with these.

Also, any middle name suggestions would be great! Love mn that are more unique, but not crazy or two modern. Think along the lines of Blythe for a girl and Beau for a boy.

Thanks so much xxx

[ourflagmeansdeath]

Congratulations first of all!

Florence - Really pretty and lovely
Clara - Beautiful, I love this
Esme (like es-mee) - So pretty as well
Daisy - It's nice if a bit twee
Stella - Lovely
Emilia (nn Emmy) - I like it but a bit popular and not as nice as the others

Nathaniel (nn Nate) - Love this, Nate is so good too
Alexander (nn Xander/ Alex) - My son is this and I love Alex!
Beckett (nn Kit) - I'm not keen on this
Miles - It's nice enough, not my favourite
Louis - Gorgeous, really lovely
Charlie - It's okay but the only long name I can hink of is Charles.

You have absolutely beautiful names, especially on the girls! My favourite individually from each one is Florence and Alexander (biased obviously lol) and I think those are a really great set too!

Other sets I like:
Clara and Louis (both sound quite regal to me for some reason lol)
Florence and Nathaniel
Esme and Louis

Middle name ideas for boys there's August, Cassius, Rory, Blake, Cole, Jace Dean and Finn if you like any of those. My son's Alexander James but James may be too popular for you.
For girls: Ivory, Ariadne, Isadora, Lyra, Mabel, Lydia, Hope, Bree, Wren and Belle.
If you like any of those for first names too.

Sorry got carried a way a bit and this got a bit long!

I don’t really like matching initials for twins but I love Clara and Charlie. I don’t think it really matters as both start with a different consonant sound.

Clara Delphine
Charlie Ambrose

[JumbleJo]

Ah, Xander’s my first choice boy’s name 😀I like Daisy best out of those options.

[Luredbyapomegranate]

Stella and Miles
Or Clara and Nathaniel

Stella Lois, Miles Corin
Clara Gwyneth, Nathaniel Blaise

quite like Blythe and Beau too

Florence - bit twee
Clara - nice
Esme (like es-mee) - done to death
Daisy - very twee
Stella - fab
Emilia (nn Emmy) - done to death

For baby boy:
Nathaniel (nn Nate) - great
Alexander (nn Xander/ Alex) - nice but being overused
Beckett (nn Kit) - weird. Christopher nn Kit is nice though. Or Kester.
Miles - great
Louis - wet and a bit overdone
Charlie (would want a longer name and charlie as nn, but haven’t found any we like yet!) - overused. I don’t think anything works other than Charles

[TwoManyKids]

Please don't call a baby Kester!

[midsomermurderess]

Stella and Alexander, nn Sasha.

[user3199]

My choice would be:
Florence and Nathaniel or
Florence and Alexander

The only name I really dislike is Beckett.

[DuchessOfSausage]

Florence - ok
Clara - don't like
Esme (like es-mee) - not sure
Daisy - ok
Stella - nice
Emilia (nn Emmy) - not sure, too long, too similar to Amelia

Nathaniel (nn Nate) - too long, don't like Nate
Alexander (nn Xander/ Alex) - like, don't like Xander
Beckett (nn Kit) - dreadful
Miles - like
Louis - ok
Charlie (would want a longer name and charlie as nn, but haven’t found any we like yet!) - like, Charles.

Stella and Charlie/Miles/Alex

I love Alexander ♥️ I think something traditional like Rebecca, Emma, Anna, goes well with Alexander.

[Remaker]

I like your girls names except Esme (don’t like the sound of it) and Emilia as she will be forever correcting people it’s not Amelia.

I like your boys names except Beckett.

Personally I don’t see the point of mn unless it has meaning. I enjoyed going through our family trees to see the names that popped up.

Alexander Bligh and Daisy Florence
Charles Bligh and Stella Isabeau
Charles Louis and Daisy Blythe
Alexander Charles and Celia Florence

I love Clara and Beckett (I'd go with Beck as a nn, but Kit is lovely too - I think it's just the difference in spelling of the "kit" sound across the two words that throws me).

Clara and Alexander are lovely too - beautiful and classic names.

[Dazedandbemused0]

For baby girl:
Florence - Lovely
Clara - Lovely
Esme (like es-mee) - I like the sound but it’s got a bit of a ‘chavvy’ feel these days having been so overused
Daisy - Lovely
Stella - Lovely
Emilia (nn Emmy)- it’s okay

For baby boy:
Nathaniel (nn Nate) - Lovely
Alexander (nn Xander/ Alex) - Lovely
Beckett (nn Kit) - Dislike
Miles - Lovely
Louis - Lovely
Charlie (would want a longer name and charlie as nn, but haven’t found any we like yet!) - Dislike

I think the names that sound best together are:
Miles and Daisy
Miles and Stella
Louis and Clara
Florence and Nathaniel
Florence and Alexander

[Teawithnosugarplease]

Florence - Lovely. I like Florrie as a nn.
Clara - Absolutely love this! Would have been the chosen name for DC4 if he'd been a girl.
Esme - I like, but prefer the Ez-may pronunciation.
Daisy - Lovely.
Stella - Not so keen, but that's just because it reminds me of a grumpy old lady I once knew.
Emilia - I love this, and was always on my shortlist.

Nathaniel - I prefer Nathan.
Alexander - I like. Particularly love Xander.
Beckett - dislike, but Kit is okay.
Miles - It's okay.
Louis - I like this.
Charlie - I really like, and think it's fine as an independent name.

I think my favourite combination would be Clara and Louis.
I also think Emilia and Alexander would flow well together.

Ideas for middle names -

Florence Eliza
Clara Eloise
Esme Antonia
Daisy Willow
Stella Rhian
Emilia Primrose

Nathaniel James
Alexander Ellis
Beckett Francis
Miles Elliott
Louis William
Charlie Rhys
