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 think Kitty too! Maybe short for Katherine.

My daughter is Amelia and my nieces Tabitha and Eliza.

Or Felicity and Florence.

You didn't read the thread. The twins are here, one is named Eliza!

Congratulations!
More suggestions-
Clara
Isla
Ada
Nancy
Fleur
Lily
Elodie
Lucie
Lottie
Elsie

Nancy and Eliza is lovely.

Lucy (lou)
Matilda (tilda)

Margot and Eliza are my favourites by far.

Classic but not too popular.

I have a Mollie. I'm over 20 years we e never had an issue with any drug reference, or any real issues on any other issue.
She went through a stage of playing some song referencing the drug Molly for a short time in her teens herself though 🤷‍♀️
Despite it being a popular name we don't actually know any others, and she was only at school with one other, and only for a year.

Congratulations OP!

Eliza and Clare
Eliza and Mabel
Eliza and Olive
Eliza and Jessica
Eliza and Felicity
Eliza and Bonnie
Eliza and Marion
Eliza and Betty
Eliza and Frances

I LOVE Molly.

I don't associate it with drugs at all.

It's such a solid, lovely name

We think it’s looking like Lara & Eliza…not too many L’s and A’s?! xxx

Love it too! Can’t get DH over the line on it 🙉

Ah I love kitty, couldn’t get it on the short list 🙄

These are beautiful, two of my favourites and I think I included in my suggestions to you earlier. But my only comment would be to consider longer versions for both, as you have done for your older two?
Theodore - Theo
Amelia - Mimi
Larissa - Lara
Elizabeth - Eliza

Lara and Eliza are gorgeous - great choices! I don’t think it’s too many L’s, they sound good together.

Congratulations btw! Hope all babies and you are doing well.

Mallory
Eloise?

Ooh this is a new consideration 😅😅 it’s a good point…

Sorry, but I do think Lara and Eliza have too many L’s and A’s.

Clarissa - Clara. Clara and Eliza.
Or Josephine - Josie/Seffy and Eliza

I think Eliza is a ‘full name’ in that it could be Ellie, Lizzie, Liza etc.

Lara and Eliza is a bit of a mouthful but Eliza and Lara doesn’t feel so much so - not sure why.

Other names that give me a ‘Lara’ vibe:

Katia (Kate / Kitty)
Helena (Lena / Leni / Ellie)
Maren (Mara / Mari)
Miranda (Mira)
Miriam (Mira)
Christina (Nina / Kitty)
Zara
Ophelia (Lia)
Natalia (Lia / Tally)

I love Florence, Eliza and Matilda.

Other Ideas

Rachel
Cecily
Diantha
Diana
Clara
Cora
Hannah
Harriet
Lucy
Lynette
Madeleine
Miranda
Martha
Sophie
Beatrice

I really like Florence Matilda and Beatrice Miranda

All beautiful! Let us know what you go for in the end please!

I thought of Florence before I looked at your list! Of the names on your list, maybe Eliza for the other one (some of the others don't have the same classic vibe), but I also thought about Jessica.
