B/G twins: Nathaniel Rutherford (nn Nathan) and... ?

Most of the first name choices I like for girls are 2 syllables, which I think goes best with [name]Nathan[/name]. However, i can’t figure out if the middle name for the girl should have 1-2 syllables to go with her first name, or 3-4 syllables, to balance with twin brother [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Rutherford[/name]. All thoughts and suggestions appreciated. Last name is [name]Evans[/name].

Thanks! :slight_smile:

[name]Abigail[/name] [name]Emily[/name] [name]Evans[/name] 3-2
[name]Lilah[/name] [name]May[/name] [name]Evans[/name] 2-1
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Evans[/name] 3-2
[name]Alicia[/name] [name]Joy[/name] [name]Evans[/name] 3-1

I think I like a three syllable first name followed by a two syllable middle name.

rollo

[name]Do[/name] you think it has to be a 3 syllable first which has an easy 1-2 syllable nickname to go with The likely daily use nickname [name]Nathan[/name]? There is a big Sis with a one syllable first… Thanks!

[name]Hi[/name] jfevans1 - what is the name of the big sis?

A few ideas ~

[name]Adelaide[/name] (nn [name]Della[/name], [name]Adele[/name])
[name]Lyra[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] (nn [name]Tilly[/name], [name]Tilda[/name])
[name]Penelope[/name] (nn [name]Nell[/name] - [name]Nathan[/name] & [name]Nell[/name]! Cute!)
[name]Octavia[/name] (nn [name]Tavi[/name])
[name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Willow[/name]
[name]India[/name]

Are any of those at all the style you’re looking for?

Big sis is named [name]Paige[/name]. Family name. [name]Love[/name] it because of that. feel like it’s hard to blend with the longer names for twins though, and not exactly my style just as a name on it’s own…

[name]Love[/name]: [name]Adelaide[/name] & [name]Octavia[/name]
Really Like: [name]Willow[/name] & [name]Aurelia[/name]
Like but prob couldn’t use the others on that list. thank you for the suggestions though!

my biggest hesitation with [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Adele[/name], both of which I love, is just the impending popularity. [name]Adele[/name] is so big right now, i’m worried the name is about to become a sophia or olivia. second biggest hesitation is a mild association with the Big [name]Love[/name] character, but i think i can get over that one…

prefer [name]Adelaide[/name] to [name]Octavia[/name] just because of meaning, but… good thoughts! :slight_smile: thanks!

petra I just adore your idea of giving [name]Adelaide[/name] the nn of [name]Della[/name], fantastic nickname!

rollo :slight_smile:

i think i prefer the nn [name]Adelie[/name] or [name]Adelia[/name] if I can’t use [name]Adele[/name]. [name]Della[/name] reminds me of [name]Della[/name] [name]Reese[/name]…

i can’t figure out what the best transition would be from the end of the first name sound to the beginning of [name]Evans[/name]. I feel like the ones that end in -ah and -ee are difficult though. wdyt?
