Hi!

We are due identical twins next month and finding it really hard to choose names!

Girls:
Eden
Eleni
Nora or Cora (I prefer one and DH the other)
Rosa

Boys:
Myles - We both love this one so will probably be used
Flynn
Jonah
Frasier
Jasper

We want the names to compliment each other nicely but not match, so none starting with the same initials. Other similar name suggestions appreciated :)

Eden & Myles are my favourites by far

ladygindiva · 01/09/2024 16:40

Eden and Nora or Flynn and Jasper

Eden & Myles are my favourites by far

She needs 2 girls and 2 boys though as they’re identical but (presumably) sex unknown!

I like Eleni and Cora, and with myles I think Jonah or jasper goes best.

I love Eleni and Nora, though they are quite different, not that it matters. I’d expect Eleni to be paired with another Greek name and Nora to be with a more vintage name. I am not Keen on Eden or Rosa (though I like Rose).

Eleni and Althea
Eleni and Daphne
Eleni and Ariadne
Nora and Olive
Nora and Edith
Nora and Rose

From your boys names, I like Myles and Flynn.

Notreat · 01/09/2024 17:47

I prefer
Rosa and Eleni
Or
Jonah and Frasier

itsgettingweird · 01/09/2024 17:49

I agree with Rose over Rosa.

Nora and Rose

Myles and Flynn

DeCaray · 01/09/2024 17:52

I prefer Elena to Eleni.

Elena and Eden.

Flynn and Jasper.

BoleynMemories13 · 01/09/2024 17:59

I love Eden and Flynn!

My favourite girl combination is Eden and Cora (I feel Cora compliments Eden better than Nora, whereas Nora would compliment Rosa more).

I'm not keen on Eleni, too fussy. Have you considered Elora as a combination or some of your favourite names? Elora and Rosa would be a beautiful combination.

For boys, I'd go for Myles and Flynn as you're pretty set on Myles. Not only do I love Flynn but I think it goes brilliantly with Myles, both being 5 letters with a y on the middle. They're visually pleasing together. I'm not keen on your other boy choices.

Firebird83 · 01/09/2024 18:00

Nora and Rosa

Miles (this spelling) and Jasper

ClaudiaWinklepanda · 01/09/2024 18:05

I prefer Fraser to Frasier. So I’d go Myles and Fraser or Eleni and Cora.

Rockmehardplace · 01/09/2024 18:05

Nora and Rosa - gorgeous!
Myles & Flynn

(I wanted Jonah for ds but dp said no as he works at sea and a 'jonah' is bad luck at sea...apparently,!)

Boybaby · 01/09/2024 18:18

I love Eden and Rosa together. They feel like they belong because of the theme, name length and syllables, whilst being distinct strong names in their own right.
Myles and Flynn look right together, although my personal favourite is Jonah.

Cinai · 01/09/2024 18:20

Nora, Cora, Flynn, Jonah are lovely

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 01/09/2024 18:23

From your options I would go with Cora and Rosa, or Myles and Jonah.

Firsttimebabymummy · 01/09/2024 19:00

Firebird83 · 01/09/2024 18:00

Nora and Rosa

Miles (this spelling) and Jasper

Agree

softmauve · 01/09/2024 19:01

Eden and Rosa
Myles and Jonah

Dolliesdisasterousdayout · 01/09/2024 19:03

Nora and Rosa (what about Edith?)

Miles and Jasper (although I really love Rufus and Jasper).

TheLittleOldWomanWhoShrinks · 01/09/2024 19:06

Eleni and Rosa are lovely. I honestly wouldn't do Nora/Cora and Rosa for girl/girl as I think Nora/Cora wouldf feel she got the worse deal. I do love Cara though.
I'm afraid your boys' names are not to my taste.
