Twin names!

[erint09]

Last name is Willow, love for vintage, semi-popular names. Neither twins gender is known.

We are very close with the twins' cousins: Alexander Richard Philip, Felicity (Feli) Elizabeth Rose, Evan Fredrick George, Isabella (Isa) Lily and Finley Edward. So all these names are a no.

Names I like but DH doesn't:

Juno
Marcenne (Mar-seh-n) nn. Marcie
Vivienne
Genevieve
Maeve
Hallie

Barnaby
Alistair
George
Francis

Names DH like but I don't:

Georgina
Valentina
Dulcie
Anastasia
Mildreth

Arthur
Sonny
Donovan

If we have a son we would love to use Camden as a middle name as it is a very prominent family name.

Names we love but are too common/are used in the British Royal Family (we live in London):

Charlotte
Emilia
Catherine
Elizabeth
Diana
Mary

William
Henry
Oscar
Jack
August

Martha
Eleanor
Clara
Elsie
Dora
Iris
Adaline
Ophelia

Christopher
Albert (lots of good nn)
Hugh/Hugo
David
Daniel
Michael

Congratulations on your twins!

I also love Odelia!

@DrLucyVanPelt I love Clara! Not sure if DH will approve though as he has a strange hate for the Nutcracker, I'll query when he gets back from work.

Out of your list I love Hallie but that’s it.

George is soooooo popular if that puts you off or not. I know loads of them.

Francis I find wet and drab. Mildreth is terrible.

Meredith
India
Nancy
Dorothea
Cassia
Astrid
Beatrix
Connie
Cassandra

Rafferty
Jasper
Benedict
Cameron
Tobias
Jonty

I liked Clara for my twins too but it got vetoed! Maybe Cara or Cora are similar with no Nutcracker connection?

Also just thought of:
Lucy
Lydia
Jane
Juliet

Leo
Sebastian
Benedict/Benjamin

Something we thought about was avoiding identical initials with twins of same sex, to avoid confusion down the line with letters etc.

I know a young Marcella (Marcie) which I’ve always liked.

I love the name Camden! (I'd use it as a first haha)

Put them in pairs because it was fun:)

Names I like, inspired by your list ..
Alistair, George. Donovan, Angus, Augustus, Wilbur, Maximus
All sound great with Camden or Charles.

Marcenne, Genevieve. Vivienne, Maeve, Georgina, Dulcie, Anastasia
All sound great with Charlotte or Catherine
Twins both having C for their middle names is a connection.

My faves ..
Alistair Camden and Maximus Charles
Augustus Charles and Wilbur Camden
Marcenne Catherine and Georgina Charlotte
Vivienne Charlotte and Anastasia Catherine
Angus Camden and Maeve Charlotte
George Camden and Genevieve Charlotte

I wouldn't use two long names.
Anastasia and Valentina is quite a mouthful, George and Maeve is no longer than 'the twins' (3 syllables as opposed to 9)

Thank you for all these suggestions! We've had a sit down chat and think we've narrowed it down to:

• Augustus 'Auggie' Camden and Anastasia (ann-ah-star-zee-ah) Noelle
• Stella James and Leopold Camden

• Claudette Catherine and Clementine 'Clemmie' Charlotte
• Anastasia Blaire and Vivienne Elizabeth

• Benedict Camden and Douglas 'Dougie' Camden
• Christopher Jack and Camden David

Benedict and Douglas are great.
Stella and Leopold are good
Augustus nn Gus is better than Auggie
Claudette and Clemmie too matchy matchy

Leopold and clementine are my favourite

We have very similar name taste. I think Stella is fab although I would go for Claudia over Claudette.

For boys I also liked:
Cassian
Isambard
Myles
Lucas
Hector

For girls:
Clara
Athene
Isobel
Lucy
Eleanor
