Twin girls names to go with Sophia

65 replies

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!

All those names and it didn't even include my favourite - Juliette.

Also works well with Sophia - but I do love Clementine as well.

Something timeless like

Elizabeth and Charlotte
Abigail also nice

I have 3 girls and wanted them all to have different names, no three A names for instance

My virtual twin girls would be
Elodie and Isabella

No name advice I'm afraid...I'm lurking here looking for inspiration myself, but something to think about maybe.

My nieces are twin girls and have 3 syllables in each of their first names, which has caused them to be referred to as 'the girls' a lot. They are lovely names but a real mouthful to say together.

I think it is inevitable that they will be called 'the girls' a lot but think that is somehow better than 'the twins'! My DTs are Isabella Charlotte and Rebecca Elizabeth, shortened to Bella and Becca. Seems like we have similar taste in names sweetkitty!

As Sophia is Greek why not go with other claiscal Greek names?

Absolutely agree - my dd is called Sophia, if I ever had another dd I would have loved to call her Iris, Ariadne or Hebe. Never going to have another dd so can I live vicariously through you!!!

I have not greek background however find Greek names euphically very beautiful. I also love the names Calypso, Elektra and Artemis as well, but agree that they are a bit off the wall!

GetOrfMoiLand · 19/02/2009 10:35

I meant euphonically.

Sorry, haven't read whole thread so apologies for repitition, but from the bit I saw at the beginning it looks like we have really similar taste in names. Our shortlist was almost identical to yours for DD2. We ended up with Emily Alice. DD1 is Madeleine Sophia.

Our other two shortlisted for DD2 were Alexandra and Georgia. Alexandra lost out as we couldn't agree on shortened form and Georgia because of the spat with Russia, which kicked off alongside labour .

Here are others on our shortlist.

Isabelle
Freya
Eve
Charlotte
Lucy
Anna/Annabelle
Harriet
Claudia
Sarah
Martha
Clementi ne/Clemency
Eleanor
Louisa

I agree - boys' names are SO much easier!

Wigglesworth · 19/02/2009 10:58

Jessica Mae, Amelia Jane, Audrina Louise.
