Baby girls #4 and #5 on the way!

Girl Names
1

I’m expecting babies #4 and #5 in a few months! We are having identical twin girls who will join their older sisters. We couldn’t be more excited but we are having a hard time thinking of names. We don’t want them to be matchy, but it would be nice if the middle names had a similar meaning! I really like long traditional names with a shorter middle name and a cute nickname. Thank you for any suggestions!

Big sisters are: [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] ([name_u]Steph[/name_u]), [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] ([name_f]Lizzy[/name_f]) and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] ([name_f]Bea[/name_f]).

Names I like are:

[name_f]Theadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] (not sure)

Please feel free to add any names of your own I’m open to suggestions!

With [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], I like…

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emme[/name_f]/[name_f]Emmy[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f]/[name_f]Vivi[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Tavi[/name_u]/[name_f]Via[/name_f]/[name_f]Avis[/name_f] and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f] (but too similar to bea?) but can’t see them with your other names

I think [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] works best to bridge the gaps between old fashioned [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and 90s [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]/[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Josie[/name_u]/[name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/[name_f]Katie[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]/[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lori[/name_f]/[name_u]Rory[/name_u]/[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] nn Mer (mair)
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn maggie/[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]/[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Nat[/name_u]/[name_f]Talia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bri[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] nn [name_f]Vera[/name_f]/[name_f]Nicki[/name_f]/[name_f]Nica[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tori[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] together they were the ones I was going to put together. I just wanted to ask other people without mentioning it to see if they would say that. From your list I also [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]. Thank you!

I am worried about having two girls with the same initial, or doesn’t it matter? If their nicknames don’t have the same letter does it not matter?

6

I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] & [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] for you: [name_f]Evie[/name_f] & [name_f]Millie[/name_f].

From your list, I think [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] are the best. I prefer to avoid the repeat initial - so no [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] with Elizabeth - and the rest on the list are are too hip to match [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

Other names:
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
Rosemary
Georgina

I don’t think they should have the same initial even if you use nicknames - I’m a twin!

10

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] were my first thought.

[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]

11

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] ([name_f]Doro[/name_f] or [name_f]Dottie[/name_f]), [name_f]Diana[/name_f] ([name_f]Di[/name_f]), or [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] ([name_f]Pippa[/name_f] or [name_f]Pia[/name_f])

12

OK thanks for the initial thing! I wasn’t sure whether it would matter or not but I think I would prefer different initials!

13

Congratulations!

From your list I really like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] w/[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], & [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. Although stylistically [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is a good fit, I’m not wild about repeating the initial as others have said. [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] seems to be too bohemian to fit; [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] a bit too old-fashioned; I’d worry that [name_f]Theadora[/name_f] would be constantly misspelled; [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is okay but doesn’t make me want to sit up & say “Yes!”

W/[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] the first thought that came to mind was [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]. The girls’ names would start w/the same sound, but different initials, & the names themselves don’t seem to be too matchy [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] & [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] have a British or Edwardian vibe to me, so maybe (apologies for repeats)…

[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] ([name_u]Jem[/name_u] or [name_f]Mimi[/name_f])
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] ([name_f]Tori[/name_f])
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] ([name_f]Pippa[/name_f])
[name_f]Callista[/name_f] ([name_f]Callie[/name_f])
[name_f]Davina[/name_f] ([name_m]Davy[/name_m])
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] ([name_f]Lia[/name_f])
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] ([name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Doro[/name_f], [name_f]Dot[/name_f])
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] ([name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Gwennie[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f])(although not [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] w/[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f])

14

From your picks, I like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] best (nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u] & [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]). I also think you may like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Rowena[/name_f]. Best wishes!

15

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Theadora[/name_f] for sure
[name_f]Gen[/name_f] & [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
Middles… [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] & [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
I think …
Congrats on the twins!!!

16

So many great suggestions!

I would go for…

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] “[name_f]Emmie[/name_f]” [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
And
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] “[name_m]Pip[/name_m]” or “[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]” [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

Congrats! From your list, I love all of the names, but the two that strike me as the best stylistic matches to your other daughters are [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. What about…

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
From those I listed, my favorites are [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] nn [name_u]Abby[/name_u] and [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] nn [name_f]Becky[/name_f]. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is right up there, but I am not sure that you would like the repeated initial. Once again, congrats, and best of luck!
