We like traditional names but we tend to use more modern nicknames!
Our older daughters are [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] (we call her [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]) and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] (we call her [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] or La-lou). We are set on our boy twin being named [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] after my husband and father in law respectively (we will call him [name_m]Cole[/name_m]).
We need a name for our girl twin that sounds traditional and feminine like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] but can be shortened for a little girl. Since we have [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] we would probably shorten it to another -ie ending nickname.
Her nickname also needs to sound good with [name_m]Cole[/name_m] because people will talk about the twins as a set and will say [name_m]Cole[/name_m] and _______ a lot.
Although it doesn’t lend itself to a nickname, I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] + [name_m]Cole[/name_m] are cute together, and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] fits nicely with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f].
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Gracie[/name_f], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], and [name_f]Mollie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Gracie[/name_f], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], and [name_f]Lillie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Gracie[/name_f], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], and [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], or [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] as the given name?
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “[name_f]Ellie[/name_f],” [name_f]Grace[/name_f] “[name_f]Gracie[/name_f],” …
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m] “[name_m]Cole[/name_m]” and…

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Addie[/name_f]

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_u]Norie[/name_u]
