Writing about two twin girls one is [name]Lillian[/name] [name]Alice[/name] what should the other be? how do you see them?

I like [name]Lillian[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] for the twins. [name]Both[/name] classics and share a common double letter, so they have a link without being too samey, if that makes sense. I also like [name]Susanna[/name] - [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Susie[/name] would be sweet as nicknames - though they both end in -an/-anna so that might be a bit too matchy.

For the sister, I like [name]Kathleen[/name], [name]Ellen[/name] and [name]Madeline[/name], and for the brother, [name]William[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]David[/name] and [name]Peter[/name]. Though [name]William[/name] is a bit too close to [name]Lillian[/name], so I’d probably leave that one.

I like [name]Maggie[/name] and [name]Gregory[/name] best for the parents. I wouldn’t use [name]Lillie[/name] for the mother as it’s too close to [name]Lillian[/name], and if you go with [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Ella[/name] or [name]Ellen[/name] for the sisters, I’d avoid [name]Belle[/name] and [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Ella[/name].

20s/30s set: [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Kathleen[/name] and [name]Peter[/name], with [name]Maggie[/name] and [name]James[/name] for the parents.
Modern: [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Madeline[/name] and [name]Jack[/name], with [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Gregory[/name] for the parents.

If it’s set in the 20’s-30’s, the most era-appropriate names would be:

Twin sister: [name]Opal[/name], [name]June[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Ella[/name] & [name]Rachel[/name]. [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]June[/name] would be my suggestion.

Other sister: [name]Loretta[/name], [name]Kathleen[/name], [name]Jacqueline[/name] & [name]Margaret[/name]. Other suggestions: [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Irene[/name], [name]Jean[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Lois[/name], [name]Louise[/name], [name]Elsie[/name], [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Eloise[/name]. [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Irene[/name], [name]Virginia[/name] [name]Lois[/name], [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Jean[/name].

Brother: [name]William[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Lewis[/name] ([name]Louis[/name] was more common). (Other suggestions: [name]David[/name]. [name]Robert[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]George[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Donald[/name], [name]Eugene[/name].) [name]Louis[/name] ([name]Lewis[/name]) [name]William[/name].

Mother: [name]Maggie[/name] & [name]Ethel[/name]. ([name]Hazel[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name]?). I like [name]Ethel[/name], if you want a middle: [name]Ethel[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name].

Father: [name]Albert[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] & [name]Thomas[/name]. I would choose [name]Thomas[/name].

So [name]Thomas[/name] & [name]Ethel[/name], [name]Lillian[/name] & [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] & [name]Louis[/name].
