Twin girls names to go with Sophia

65 replies

HeyYou · 07/02/2009 16:20

Help! I'm expecting twin girls and I am really struggling with names. First and second names please! We already have a Sophia Elizabeth.

As a guide, I'm not keen on twin names with alliteration i.e. Sam & Sue or rhyming names i.e Sam & Pam. We have a complicated surname so classic names are best.

I find girls names so hard!! Although I know what I like and what I don't when I hear it - iykwim! Boys names on the other hand I find a doddle!

Which boys names did you like perhaps there will be some inspiration in this?

Vanessa
Veronica
Amelia
Celia
Celeste was a good suggestion
Candace
Beatrice
Claudia
Gabrielle
Alice
Clementine
Violette
Georgia

HeyYou · 07/02/2009 17:31

Names I would love to use but for various reasons are a no go are: Charlotte, Tessa, Olivia, Kate, Alice, Phoebe and Imogen.

From the above suggestions I've added to my list, Clementine (beautiful!), Gerogia and Louisa.

What middle name would you put with Clementine?

Also on the list so far are: Alexandra, Lucinda, Anna... that's about it.

Boys names we love are George, Magnus, Fredrick, Alexander, Hamish, Felix, Hugo, Theo....

Hi - I know you want to avoid 'twinny' names (so no rhyming or alliteration) but it is worth giving names similar in length and spellability.

I used to work with a woman called Catherine who, in her 50s, still felt aggrieved that it had taken her so much longer to learn to spell her name than her twin Ann.

So to clarify, is Sophia one of the twin's names or your older DD?

Imogen, Agatha, Clara, Camille, Frances, Eleanor, Phillipa, Ingrid, Astrid, Tabitha,

HeyYou · 07/02/2009 17:57

Good point LuLuBai!

Sophia is my older DD, so I need two more names (plus middle names)...

treacletart · 07/02/2009 17:59

oooh sorry just seen Imogen a no go - ok I'll swap it for Ava,

HeyYou · 07/02/2009 18:00

I like Frances, but DH hates it.

Keep 'em coming - I'm adding a few more to the list!

Georgia Rose
Amelia May
Eleanor Grace
....sorry lacking further inspiration.....

HeyYou · 07/02/2009 18:05

I like Ava.

Would it sound odd having three DDs names ending in 'a'? e.g. Sophia, Clara & Ava or Sophia, Louisa & Tabitha?

I'm a bit of a fan of 'a' ending girls names. Really love Georgia and Louisa together but that it is a lot of 'a's to go along with Sophia. Shame Phoebe and Imogen are off limits. I also think Florence and Clementine work well together.

Clementine Joelle

Clementine Isla

Clementine Felicity

Clementine Joie

Clementine Mary Jane

So much depends on the last name. Can you provide an approximation?

From your boys list maybe:

Fredericka/ Frederica
Freida
Felicity
Annabel
Alessandra
Annalise
Maxine
Mathilda
Maude
Penelope
Hazel
Thea

BumblBeee · 07/02/2009 18:20

Florence and Clementine

yes these look nice

DivamakesKimchi · 07/02/2009 18:24

agree bumlebee, sounds nice too

cherrylips · 07/02/2009 18:26

If I was having twin girls I would have : Sophia Anna and Louisa Elizabeth. I am pg at the mo' and if its a girl I will name her Louisa Isobel.

Ivykaty44 · 07/02/2009 18:28

Clementine - shortened to Clem or Clemmy - just so you are aware, as it is children at school that will use and abuse the name

as they will often be refered together "and anna" is a lot of a's

slayerette · 07/02/2009 18:35

Rosaleen?
