I think Mirissa is a lovely sounding name. Don't be put off by the fact she'd have to spell it out. I have to spell mine out and it's no problem.

Oh, and I vote James for the little boy's name.

Marissa and James go together well. I love the name Marissa but not keen on Marco.

I'd call them Marissa Tamsin and James Marco,

Problem solved!

LOL at the pornstar lacks! Is Mirissa a bit porny too? Maybe Gill would be better!

My twins are called Luke and Jake..they are quite similar aren't they..i didn't even think of that when they were born...we didn't have a clue on names before we saw them..and with having 3 boys already it was a challenge to find names we both liked!

2nd set are called Cerys and Kyran.....must have been in a 'y' mood at the time!

idobelieveinghosts · 24/10/2008 19:24

oh oh ..forgot to add i like Tamsin and James...

CuppaTeaJanice · 25/10/2008 11:57

Mirissa is lovely. I'd pair it with James rather than Marco.

If you love Tamsin though, isn't there a male version? I'm sure I've seen a male character on TV called Tam.

Mirissa and Tam sound equally exotic to me!

Jesmond and Jarrow is great!

I've got a hankering for Holly and Ivy for xmas babies...

My twins' names aren't similar but they both have four letters.

I agree you could put them together if you like them all.... Tamsin Mirissa and Marco James then you dont have to think of middle names.

Hi - my hubby a twin (Billy) his sister is called Bernie - I'd avoid same letter start too twee. We have twin girls and i tried to find names that went together but were not too similar. went for Emma and Georgia in the end and still like them. Love Mirissa, very pretty name - not so keen on Marco. James a good solid boys name that will not date. Good luck!
