I am pregnant with twins and we found out today that it is 2 girls!

We have a good list of names, but I’m keen to hear thoughts and opinions about our top choices!

For info, our surname is double barrelled and due to family etc, middle names will be Rose and Jean - but it is first names we are trying to decide on!

Florence
Ottilie
Penelope
Tabitha
Violet
Tallulah
Pandora
Arabella

Thanks all!!

As a whole list and with a double barrelled surname it does sound quite traditionally 'private school' for want of a better description. (I teach in one and teach/have taught all of these names at least once or twice recently with the exception of Pandora which I've never come across in real life.) I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing though - especially if you are in that kind of demographic (not talking private education necessarily). And there's such a mix of all types of names in all areas/types of school now that I suspect those traditional associations are fading anyway.

I think Tallulah and Pandora are a really cute pair. Tallulah Jean and Pandora Rose.

Or, for a more traditional vibe, Arabella Jean and Florence Rose.

I'm not keen on Penelope or Violet (sounds like violent to me) but don't dislike them.
