Isabella and ? - 10 day old twins

242 replies

My twin girls are now 10 days old and still effectively nameless.
We are pretty set on Isabella for one baby but baby 2 is nameless.
We don't care about popularity but do want the names to feel like they go well together (I know some people don't care about this but we do). DH would like them to have the same number of letters/syllables but I'm less fussed on that.

So far we've tried but not adored
Madeline
Florence (hard no)
Amelia (leading favourite, but DH doesn't like that it's shorter)
Savannah (I'm not a fan)
Sophia
Florissa (totally different vibe and I don't love it!)

At this point I'm thinking we scrap Isabella as a name and go for Amelia and Sophia (DH would be fine with this as he just wants same number of letters etc.) but I do love Isabella ... help !!

UPDATE FROM OP LAST YEAR:-

I think we have settled for Amelia and Isabella, nothing else felt quite right and DH has agreed to get over his need for matching letters!!

FortunateSass · 27/04/2024 08:35

I would avoid another 'a' ending name. Too similar. Isabella and Grace? Iris? Lucy?

yesthatsmyactualname · 05/05/2024 11:46

I'd avoid another name ending in Ella as when calling on them they will constantly think it is the other one.
How about Isabella and Marianna?

The twins are 5 months old.

I think number of syllables is more important than number of letters (you say someone's name a lot more often than you write it after all!) so Amelia would be a very good fit.
