I love Margot but not Monroe sorry

Wishimaywishimight · 09/10/2023 16:37

I think they are nice names individually but a bit same-y for twins.

dingit · 09/10/2023 16:37

No
Margot and Maisie

fruitbrewhaha · 09/10/2023 16:37

Margot and Marigold.

OhDoSitDownAndShutUp · 09/10/2023 16:37

I don't like either, sorry

villamariavintrapp · 09/10/2023 16:38

No, too similar

Scutterbug · 09/10/2023 16:38

I think they are too similar, sorry.

SirenSays · 09/10/2023 16:38

I don't like either

Sailawaytocromer · 09/10/2023 16:38

Not Monroe. Monroe is awful.

Dacadactyl · 09/10/2023 16:38

Margot is nice. Monroe is God awful!

MissMillyFluff · 09/10/2023 16:38

Margot is lovely. When I see the name Monroe I think of a face piercing 😬

Bonbon21 · 09/10/2023 16:39

Please!!
Different initials, no rhyming!
They will be two very different people!

millypeggyandpandora · 09/10/2023 16:39

I like Margot but not Monroe. Both the names together sounds a bit like a 80s police detective series like “ Cagney and Lacey”.

Labradoodlie · 09/10/2023 16:39

Quite naff.

Leeds2 · 09/10/2023 16:40

I like Margot.
I don't like Monroe at all, but especially not with Margot as they are too similar. Also rather Marilyn Monroe.

Myneighboursarewankers · 09/10/2023 16:40

This just makes me think of washing up gloves

Everydayimhuffling · 09/10/2023 16:40

I think it's a terrible idea to give twins the same initial. You're asking for trouble with post and banking issues and CRB checks later. Remember that they are two little humans not "the twins".

VeridicalVagabond · 09/10/2023 16:40

Not together no. I don't think twins should have similar or matchy matchy names at all to be honest, and they really are very similar sounding.

Wilkolampshade · 09/10/2023 16:40

Congrats on your twins OP. ❤️
Love Margot. Not so keen on Monroe... is it really important to you they start with the same letter?
Mariam? Miriam? Mirabelle?

Brumbies · 09/10/2023 16:40

Not Margot - I'd always be thinking of the insipid woman from tv and her child.

Monroe I like.

Mandy?

Nevermind31 · 09/10/2023 16:41

I don’t like either, sorry. But the main thing is… do you like them? Personally I would stay away from anything that rhymes or starts with the same letter. They are individuals, not part of a cutesy pack

AmyDudley · 09/10/2023 16:41

Do they have to have name starting with the same letter ? I'd let them have a bit more individuality. Margot is fine, Monroe is a surname IMO.

Ok thank you. The other choice was Anastasia or Adeline for one of them

Too similar imo, I like Margot though.

SoupDragon · 09/10/2023 16:41

Dreadful.

I've never liked Margot and Monroe is truly awful. Together they are dreadful.
