So lately I have been dreaming a lot about having twins, which is funny because the thought of a multiples pregnancy actually terrifies me, but I think it’s because I love our short list of names so much. We only “plan” on having one more baby, and I think I’m dreading choosing between 2 good options more than I dread carrying multiples.
How nice it would be to not have to choose between [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], or [name_u]Oleander[/name_u] and [name_m]Viridian[/name_m], maybe a little trickier to decide with b/g twins but I’d still get to use twice the names.
So for the fun of it, what would you name twins? b/b, g/g, /b/g?
And also in the spirit of things, which b/g set do you like best of my combos?
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and [name_m]Viridian[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]/Meadowlark
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] and Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] and [name_m]Viridian[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]/Meadowlark
[name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to tell me which middle you like better with [name_m]Viridian[/name_m] as well!
I like [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] and Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] the best. They are quite similar but not overly matchy, and I like that they start with different letters. I’m a twin myself, and
there’s always a lot of confusion caused by our initials.
To answer your first question, I don’t think I would want to have twins, but let’s see…
[name_m]Roger[/name_m] and [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
I feel like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] and [name_m]Viridian[/name_m] are a better pairing, but I do prefer [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] as a name (it’s on my own list!). I also think [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_m]Viridian[/name_m] and [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] make for a well matched sibling set!
If I had twins;
G/G: [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (OR [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f])
G/B: [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] “[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]” (OR [name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Archie[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m])
B/B: [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] “[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]” and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Brian[/name_m] (OR [name_m]Archie[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m])
I always imagined having the same initials would be a bit problematic!
I love your twin combos. They all feel right together while still being very distinct names.
Out of your combos, I like [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] and Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] the best. I think [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] is a better middle for [name_m]Viridian[/name_m].
[name_f]Bluebell[/name_f] and [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]! [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Honey[/name_f] are a great pair too. I like that any pairs thay have matching initials are only in the middle spot.
I really like [name_m]Archie[/name_m] and [name_m]Harry[/name_m] as well! My son’s nickname is [name_m]Archie[/name_m] so I can’t help bit be a little partial to the combo of [name_m]Archie[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] are my favourite set! They’re amazing together!
I also think I prefer [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] for [name_m]Viridian[/name_m]
For me, I’d probably just use some of my favourites:
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarai[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
I also like:
[name_m]Sholto[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_f]Dora[/name_f] and [name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u] and [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
I know how you feel, there are loads of names that I love but wouldn’t necessarily use. Like having a sone named [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] I probably wouldn’t use [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] even though I think it’s darling (if I could find a longer name I really loved that [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] worked as a nickname for, than maybe.) That being said [name_f]Dora[/name_f] and [name_f]Polly[/name_f] is a great set!
I love [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevra[/name_f]!
G/G: [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “[name_f]Beth[/name_f]” [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] “[name_f]Nell[/name_f]” [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
B/B: [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] “[name_m]Buzz[/name_m]” [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] and [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] “[name_u]Rory[/name_u]” [name_m]Crispin[/name_m]
B/G: The boy would definitely be [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], but I can’t decide which of the girls’ names I would use… Probably [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], because [name_m]Buzz[/name_m] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f] make a cute nickname set. (So do [name_m]Buzz[/name_m] and [name_f]Beth[/name_f], but that might be too matchy-matchy for my taste.)
Of your choices, I like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]/Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] and [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f]/[name_m]Viridian[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] best, with [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] and Oleander my most favorite, I think.
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] and Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], hands down. I’ve always liked [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] thanks to its [name_u]Les[/name_u] Mis character, so it’s such a pleasant surprise to see it mentioned here. I like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] kinda more than [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], actually, but the combo is just stunning. Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]… Oleander is kinda a gp for me, while [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] is on my own list. So I’m a bit biased.
I like the length of Oleadner better with [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], but I like the feel of [name_m]Viridian[/name_m] better with her. I think I would go with Oleander and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] only because I personally prefer Oleander. However, with [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] I prefer [name_m]Viridian[/name_m] Meadowlark (so handsome!). I completely understand what you mean about not wanting to not use your other amazing favourites! Some days I want 10 kids for the sole purpose of being able to use more of the names that I love, lol.
As for what I would use myself, probably just my favourites.

I am hoping we have twins ”
Girl/Girl: [name_f]Ezria[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] Lynnox and [name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_u]Beck[/name_u] [name_f]Loralei[/name_f]

Girl/Boy: [name_f]Ezria[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] Lynnox and [name_u]Everest[/name_u] [name_u]Beck[/name_u] [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] or [name_f]Lowrie[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] or [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] and [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m]
Another [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] fan!
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] choices, I adore all of your names and especially love [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] together.
I feel like [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] is so under appreciated. Everything about the sound and look of it makes me think it should be far more popular than it is.
I love Oleander, but I also love [name_m]Viridian[/name_m]. They both feel strong and serious enough to hold up beside [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m], have cute nickname potential, and have a nice nature element to them (viridian is my favorite color and I love that Oleander is a not so flowery flower mame.) It’s going to be a tough choice in the end. Thank you for your input!
I think you’re the first person in this thread to say you like Meadowlark for the middle! It’s my partner’s favorite, so if we do and up picking [name_m]Viridian[/name_m] we’ll likely use it. I think it’s a lovely combo and I also want my partner to feel more involved in the naming than just having veto power lol.
All of your names are lovely! Sweet and classic charm. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any names you’re bouncing around as a middle for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] currently?
another vote for [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] and Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]!!
and i too dream of twins (… even higher multiples!) i think pregnancy is such a beautiful thing and by adding another one or two in there just makes it even more magical!

B/B: [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and [name_m]Vaughan[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]
@daniemc pregnancy is so magical! I think the only reason multiply scares me is eveyone I know eothvmultioles had a lot of complications. My first pregnancy went off without a hitch, so I’m overly anxious about the thought of something going awry.
Beautiful names! I especially like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Adair[/name_u]/ [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and [name_m]Vaughan[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]!
I like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] kinda more than [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], actually, but the combo is just stunning. Oleander [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]… Oleander is kinda a gp for me, while [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] is on my own list. So I’m a bit biased.
