DH and I are expecting twin girls. DH is French but they will be raised mostly in the UK. Our favourite names right now are Alma & Inès.
What's everyone's thoughts?
Full names we are thinking Alma Manon and Inès Maria.

Just be careful of accented names if you live in UK and intend to remain. It will never be done properly !

Lovely names!

I know an Inès whose mum is French. I love it. I’m not a huge fan of Alma but it’s a perfectly ok name. Just not my favourite.

I think all four names are lovely OP - I particularly like Manon, and I would use that as a first name.

Alma Manon and Ines Maria are lovely though (although the accent on Ines probably won't get used in the UK :()

Poor Alma has really drawn the short straw, what other options do u have?

I'm afraid I agree. I think Alma is a bit "dowdy" in comparison to Ines.

I do like Manon. I think Manon and Ines sound better.

I think Manon and Ines sound better. I agree, but it's not relevant now.

I love them both! I am particular to Alma, that was our housekeepers name growing up. She was like a 2nd Gran.
