Don’t like either, sorry.

Margot and Adaline is better than Margot and Monroe.

Ohnonotanotheroneeek · 09/10/2023 17:37

Margot and Adeline together are lovely. Great names individually and together they flow off the tongue

FcukTheDay · 09/10/2023 17:38

Margot and Mable

Purplesilkpyjamas · 09/10/2023 17:39

No to both

ACynicalDad · 09/10/2023 17:39

No, let them be individuals, don't be twee.

Margot and Mable

That's just as bad, matchy. I don't like the alternative spelling of Mabel, either.

morag1234 · 09/10/2023 17:42

Margot and Adeline works great.
Not a fan of Monroe.

Not what I would call twins either! But the names I would choose would raise more eyebrows than alternative spellings.

Viviennemary · 09/10/2023 17:45

Margot is ok. But I'm not personally that keen. Monroe is totally dire.

Goneforaride · 09/10/2023 17:46

Nope ... both awful, and agree with pp who said they should have different initials to avoid confusion in the future.

MartyFunkhouser · 09/10/2023 17:47

Monroe is just awful.

Having them both with the same initial is too twee.

MysteryBelle · 09/10/2023 17:47

No
Margot and Maisie

I love these!

Rockbird · 09/10/2023 17:49

Margot is lovely, Monroe is horrendous. Not keen on Adeline either but it's a million times better than Monroe.

need2findwork · 09/10/2023 17:49

I wouldn't use the same initials and Monroe is awful, sorry. Love Margot!

Butterkist8 · 09/10/2023 17:49

I'd avoid similar names for twins.
Margot is lovely.
Monroe isn't, imo.

I'd be looking for very separate identities for twins.
Similar sounding names will confuse teaching staff and others.

Differing names will make life easier and provide different identities for your twins.

need2findwork · 09/10/2023 17:50

I would go for Margot and Adeline from the options you put out there.

Electrictache · 09/10/2023 17:50

Margot is lovely and I think goes with Adeline.
I wouldn't match initials. Too cutesy now and annoying for them when they get older.

MysteryBelle · 09/10/2023 17:51

I don’t like Margot that much either but it’s much better than Monroe. I like Maisie a lot. Adeline, not a fan.

Balloonhearts · 09/10/2023 17:52

Not for me. Monroe to me us a boys name and Margot my great great grandmother. Very old fashioned. Adeline is lovely but Anastasia is the wet lettuce girl in that crappy porn book 50 shades of grey. Immediate association for me.

BeaLola · 09/10/2023 17:53

Margot & Beatrice /Beatrix
Margot & Claudia
Margot & Verity

Butteredtoast55 · 09/10/2023 17:54

Monroe and Adeline? Are you a fan of Grimm?
Margot is lovely.

Hummingbird233 · 09/10/2023 17:54

No. As a fellow twin mum, I cringe when other twin mums make a point of the fact they're twins by alliterating their names. Oh and dressing them the same, nothing weirder than seeing 7 year olds dressed identically!

They're two separate individuals and won't want to be all cutesy forever. I find it's more about attention seeking from parents usually.

Margoe is fine, Munroe, not so much imo but names are very personal. Just choose two lovely names, don't look for matching names!

MysteryBelle · 09/10/2023 17:56

Criteria for a name could meaning, history, how it sounds, how it looks. Adeline does have a nice meaning and Monroe has a good history. But neither sounds nor looks appealing to me.

Arniesleftleg · 09/10/2023 17:57

Margot is adorable, Monroe, not so much. Margot and Meryl. Margot and Marlie. Margot and Meryn. Just for some different names.
