Like I mentioned in my previous post DH and I are expecting twin girls very soon!!
We we’re back and forth between India and Cassia or Emilia and Isabella but are now only set on India and need help with a name to match.
Our surname is hyphened and both names start with S so any names beginning with S or A doesn’t work.
Names we like but won’t/can’t use are
Lucia (DHs ex is Lucy so he’s against it)
Savannah
Saskia
Aila
Sienna
I was thinking maybe India and Elena?
Middle names will be quite long.
Any ideas?

Strike Lucia off if your DH doesn't like it.

What does he think of Elena?

If one is called India then you've got your way on that one. Why not let him choose the other name?

@Whataretheodds
I really can’t imagine our daughter being called Emilia or Isabella. I think both are perfectly lovely names but I know so so many!! I wish I could just compromise on one of them but I really can’t.

Some other names he’s suggested are Tessa, Madeline and Pippa which again I just don’t love.
He really likes India so I’m not forcing him into a name he doesn’t like (was more so with Cassia).
Gosh names are so difficult!!

I’m sure there’s an influencer who has twins called India and Rosabella.

Katie Hopkins had an India and a Poppy.

Another India I know has a sister called Henny.

I think India and Eliza is a lovely combo - and Eliza does feel similar to Emilia and Isabella in vibe that your DH likes

Iwishiwasyounger · 16/08/2023 11:05

India & Tasmin
India & Jasmin, Jasmine, Jasmina
I think India needs another strong, exotic name to go with it.

MaryMclairy · 16/08/2023 11:14

Oh God, not India as a girls name being described as exotic 😂.

Eliza is lovely OP.

Ifyouarehappyandyouknowit123 · 16/08/2023 11:15

India and Eliza!

wateredwillowwavingwondrously · 16/08/2023 11:21

India and Blac-Chyna after the rapper.
Could even opt for White-Chyna.

LOveAndSunShIneMan · 16/08/2023 11:29

Indie Eliza and Cassie Isabella.

Indie is so cool because it's like a shortened form of Independent and Eliza is sweet but kickass at the same time!

Good luck OP :)

ladygindiva · 16/08/2023 11:30

Saskia!!! Gorgeous name!

ladygindiva · 16/08/2023 11:31

Oh sorry just seen you can't use it 🤣

ladygindiva · 16/08/2023 11:32

Other suggestions to go with India:
Sasha
Natasha
Louisa
Helena ( I prefer it to Elena, looks and sounds more complete to me🤣)
Serena

RosaSkye · 16/08/2023 12:22

India & Eleni
India & Aveline

Canada. Just because that would make me laugh

Whiskeypowers · 17/08/2023 02:21

India and Eliza don’t fit IMO
Eliza is clunky and prim. India is neither of those.

I rather like
