Hiya everyone,
I’m due twins in a few weeks time and we still haven’t settled on any names! We don’t know the genders and so need girl and boy name suggestions, they are fraternal too so could be any ‘combination’! Please can we have some opinions on the following names and any other suggestions:
Girls:
Lucy
Beatrix
Charlotte (although I don’t like the nn’s)
Anna
Jemima
Juliet
Boys:
Luke
James
Joseph (although I don’t like Joe)
Thank you so much! xx

I love Anna and slightly longer Hannah they were both on my very short girl list.
I also like Sarah

I also love James if you don't like Joe then ditch Joseph because it's not a good idea to have two Js which leaves you with James and Luke.

Lucy Anna
The only boys name I like is James.

Love all your choices except for Beatrix (like dominatrix), Beatrice is so much nicer. Also dislike Joseph as there are just too many of them

Lucy and James
James and Luke

Juliet and Beatrice

Jemima is a feminine of James though, so that’s certainly a twinny combo

The others are all nice but Anna, Charlotte and Luke are all very overused (or some version of them - Annie and Luca/Lucas - but it amounts to the same thing). Lucy and James also very popular. No point using Joseph if you don’t like Joe. Jemima is nice but a wee but twee.

Definitely don’t use the same initial if they’re the same sex - they really won’t thank you, but I wouldn’t do it at all.

I would choose Beatrix & Charlotte, Beatrix & Luke, Luke & James from your names.
I prefer Joseph but if you don’t like Joe I’d avoid it. With Charlotte I think it’s easier to avoid a nickname for it.

Other suggestions - Clara, Ava, Rose, Etta, Penelope, Harriet, Emilia
Henry, Austin, Oliver, Louis, Zachary, Frederick, Miles
