Hi, we're pregnant with identical twin girls.

We have two boys, Nathan Carrick Llewellyn and Daniel Rhys Tierney. They both have one Welsh and one Irish middle name.

We have one girls name sorted: Lucy Bronwyn Sinead (again, one welsh and one Irish middle name)

For the second, we have:
Molly Rhiannon Darcy
Rachel Tegan Darcy
Rachel Carys Darcy

Which do you like best out of the above 3?

Rachel Carys Darcy definitely

weegiemum · 18/09/2009 08:27

Rachel!!!! (says the mother of one!)

Totally underrated as a name at the moment, and its so classic and dignified and lovely!

Prefer Carys to Tegan. Am neither put up nor down by Darcy, tbh.

And congratulations - and good luck!

Rachel is a very harsh sounding name.

Much prefer Molly.

MrsBadger · 18/09/2009 09:21

Rachel
Molly is too cutesy for me - how would it sound when she is trying to be taken seriously as an MP or an MD?

And together Lucy and Molly sound like a pair of terriers

Darcy I wouldn't use myself but as a second middle name it'll rarely be used

Rachel Carys is lovely

PuppyMonkey · 18/09/2009 09:24

They all sound ok really. But I've never really liked Carys.

Lucy & Molly is a bit of a mouthful. Lucy & Rachel much easier to say!

happywomble · 18/09/2009 09:32

I think Rachel and Lucy sound much much better together. Lovely names!

I like Rhiannon out of your middle names but would sound a bit funny after Rachel..I would maybe keep thinking for middle names or go for carys.

Don't really like sinead (makes me think lemonade) or darcy (makes me think mr darcy P & P)- but I don't know much about Irish names

belgo · 18/09/2009 09:42

It's interesting all the votes in favour of Rachel - it does seem to becoming far more popular in recent years - I know three born in the last two years.

Lucy is very popular as well.

LouMacca · 18/09/2009 09:54

Awwww Congratulations!

Love your boys name.

Out of your choices I would go for Lucy & Rachel Carys Darcy. Think Lucy and Rachel are pretty names that sit well together.

Good Luck!

BlueChampagne · 18/09/2009 12:52

Another vote for Rachel Carys.

crokky · 18/09/2009 13:01

Rachel Carys Darcy

VanillaIce · 18/09/2009 13:21

Definitely Rachel Carys. Very classy. Tegan sounds like a brand of shampoo to me. And Molly is a lovely name for a little girl. But not a grown woman.

nappyaddict · 18/09/2009 13:25

TBH not keen on your first names but that's just down to personal taste.

I like Rhiannon or Tegan as a middle name. Carys and Darcy are getting quite popular now.

nappyaddict · 18/09/2009 13:27

How about Lolly, Kelly, Sally, Tali for similar sound names to Molly?

MrsBadger · 18/09/2009 13:38

Lucy and Lolly?
you are kidding, aren't you?

Sally is quite nice though

argento · 18/09/2009 13:39

Rachel is nicer than Molly - I agree about Lucy and Molly sounding like terriers!

Rachel Carys Darcy definitely my favourite.

Fimbo · 18/09/2009 13:43

Rachel - but then I am biased as I have one.

IveGotHamButImNotAHamster · 18/09/2009 15:49

I am a Rachel, and my best friend growing up was Lucy

Fluffypoms · 18/09/2009 15:56

my name Lucy and middle name Rachel

nappyaddict · 18/09/2009 17:00

Sorry I was thinking Rachel and Lolly. Forgot Lucy was a definite.

qumquat · 18/09/2009 19:01

Another vote for Rachel Carys Darcy.

thirtysomething · 18/09/2009 19:05

Another one for Rachel carys Darcy
