Name for girl twin which doesn't end in vowel or start with E or F!

It's very difficult finding a girl's name that fits with our surname which starts with E and ends with son so out so anything like Madison. I've discovered that anything with a vowel or y on the end sounds rubbish e.g. Lily, Anna.

I like Iris and Maeve, but dp doesn't. We've only agreed I think on Erin and Elise but don't want another E name as ds2's starts with E and I don't think it sounds that great with our surname. DS1's name starts with F and we've already chosen boy twin's name starting with F so don't want another.

I have read through 14,000 name book already and am wondering if we'll have a name for her esp if they arrive early. Any ideas given my very restrictive request?? Pretty please? I had already posted on here about celtic names for them both but had to give that up as dp didn't like anything I did!

Well the ones I like (Iris, Maeve, Erin) give an idea of what we're looking for. I think Thea, Ava and Grace are lovely but ones ending in A just don't work and I know 3 baby Graces already unfortunately!

I think short names go better with a long surname. I shall keep on showing the list to dp, no point my getting excited about something. I agree about not being definite about it but we'll b lucky to get one name for each of them quite frankly so they're stuck aren't they

Could you approach it the other way round and tell us what dh likes (he must like something!), then people could try and think of variations on his favoured names that might appeal to you??

Violet is one of my faves that he doesn't like (sob). Megan is great too but my dsis's name!

I listed the ones he liked before - but Harriet, Leia, Erin & Elise. Um, that's it I think. Not much room to manoevre is there?

So many pretty names here, I shall show him the list again today! All of the Poppy, Daisy, Lily etc names just don't sound good with our surname unfortunately.

Violet (Violette in French) or Viola are just lovely.
