Twin girl names, to go with Theo & Amelia

[twinnies1987]

Hello,

We're expecting twin girls soon, and we're finding it so tough to find names we love! As they are identical, we don't want matching names.

Our 2 older children are called Theo (Theodore) and Mimi (Amelia), we potentially want something slightly less mainstream this time. Our surname is quite botanical, so that sort of rules out flower names etc.

Names we like (but not quite set on) include:
Lyra
Lara
Florence
Delphi (is that more of a nickname?)
Reeva (although that reminds me of Oscar Pistorius, so I think that rules it out!)
Eliza
Riley (maybe a bit American)
Tabitha (I love, husband hates)
Mathilda (as above!)

I'd love to hear any new ideas or suggestions!! xx

I would find Theo and Phoebe a bit of a tongue twister, thought they're lovely names. Another vote for Florence and Beatrice here!

What do we think of Mollie / Molly?

I think it's pretty, but would you think of a drug association...

I find it a bit casual. Also ‘Milly and Molly’ potential with an Amelia.

I love Delphi but it's definitely super uncommon. I think Rupert Brooke was friends with a woman named Delphis which is also quite wonderful but I just googled and it is now a brand of eco cleaning products 😂

Of the rest of your list, I think I like Lyra best. Mathilda and Eliza are both lovely too.

Keep working on DH! Tabitha and Matilda are different enough to be non matchy matchy, but they could be Tabby and Tilly which is sweet. Tabbs and Tills. T1 and T2 😆

Otherwise how about Imogen, Meridith, Rowena, Merryn....?

Tabitha and Florence are beautiful.

Clara and Imogen

Penelope and Violet

Olivia (Livvy)
Celia
Marguerita (Maggie)
Eloise
Sylvie

Hi everyone, twins are due any day and we're still SO stuck! They may well need to go into special care, so we really want them to have names and not ponder it for 5 days like we did with our other 2 children!!

Ones currently under consideration:

• Octavia & Alana
• Mollie & Serena (I say under consideration, I like Serena a lot, husband not keen)
• Margot & Eliza
• Alexandra (Lexie) & Mollie

I'd LOVE any more suggestions 😅

Ideally I'd like the names not to end in the same sound, i.e. OctaviA & AlanA... makes it a bit of a mouthful, especially as our surname ends in 'er' but sounds like 'a' if that makes sense.

Mollie and Eliza get my vote

Another vote for Molly (with a y not ie) and Eliza

Calliope (Callie) and Penelope (Penny)
Emma and Leah
Eloise and Jennifer
Rebecca and Chloe

Sophie and Serena
Florence and Eliza
Eloise and Larissa
Phoebe and Charlotte

Molly and Eliza is lovely, as is a pp's suggestion Florence and Beatrice.
I like Elizabeth and Katherine.
I prefer Seren to Serena, though it's getting quite popular.
Martha and Eliza ?

Valentina
Dulcie
Martha
Mabel
Ottoline
Clara
Calliope
Coraline
Coral
Audrey
Maisie
Ophelia

Venetia
Sibylla
Scarlett
Stella
Tara

Margot and Serena (sorry DH lol)

otherwise Margot and Eliza

What about lorna and lydia

I think names that end in consonants might work best.

Keeping the T and A initial pattern:
Tamsin and Artemis
Tess and Alice

Other initials:
Elspeth and Juliet
Beatrix and Celestine
Eleanor and Madeleine
Evelyn and Cecily
Sylvie and Jessamine
Katherine and Edith

I like Margot and Eliza.

Have you considered:

• Constance (Connie)
• Larissa
• Maeve
• Miranda
• Sophie
• Saskia

Margot and Saskia go quite nicely, as do Sophie and Miranda.
