Favourite twin name combinations from our shortlist for boys and girls

[Thinkibell]

Afternoon, DH and I are expecting twins, we haven’t found out the sex’s and don’t plan to, but I am due very soon and wondering what of options for combinations of names you like best.

So for girl/girl
We are stuck between
Leonora and Margarita (my favourite but DH worries it’s a bit “heavy”)
or
Leonora and Carlotta
or
Charlotte and Madeleine

Boy/Girl
Gabriel and Leonora
Gabriel and Charlotte
Sebastian and Margarita

Boy/Boy
Gabriel and Sebastian
Augustus and Sebastian
Gabriel and Theodore

Which combo is your favourite? Any you really dislike? Any combinations you think we might like?

Charlotte and Madeleine
Gabriel and Charlotte
Gabriel and Sebastian

Leonora is very beautiful

I love Carmen as well but sadly it really doesn’t go with our last name

Just watched a version of Twelfth Night (She's the Man).

The twins are called Viola and Sebastian.

I love those names.

Viola and Sebastian would be too much.

For me the best combos from your list are:

Leonora and Carlotta

Gabriel and Charlotte

Gabriel and Theodore

However, taking your names I'd actually suggest Gabriel and Carlotta or Theodore and Carlotta would both be lovely for B/G twins.

My only thought for you is that most of your preferred names are relatively long so chances are they will be abbreviated so make sure you're comfortable with at least one (and push it if you have to).

How about
Margot and Sebastian for boy/girl

Charlotte and madeleine
leonora and sebastian
Augustus and sebastian

Like most names it seems completely regional. Where I grew up it might be considered unusual, where I live now I don’t think those names would stand out at all.

Leonora and Carlotta
Gabriel and Leonora
Theodore and Sebastian

Leonora Margaret and Gabrielle Charlotte

Sebastian Leon and Gabrielle Jane

Sebastian Gabriel and Leonard Theodore

Charlotte and Leonora
Gabriel and Charlotte
Gabriel and Sebastian

Margarita is a cocktail and pizza
