Help with Naming Our Twins :)

General Name Discussion

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!

[name_m]New[/name_m] to this board. Currently have a LO named [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and expecting B/G twins soon! Trying very hard to pick out names that go well with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], are traditional, but not too popular. Our first choices were [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m], but we know quite a few couples that have used these recently. Now considering [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] ([name_u]Charlie[/name_u]). Thoughts on these names? Any suggestions for others? Thank you!

I completely love your first choices, but indeed there are quite popular at the moment!
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] are nice too, but honestly I don’t see them being ~that~ much less popular.

As for suggestions, [name_u]Simone[/name_u], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] have that elegant, strong feeling of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] imo. And as for the boys, [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] are the ones which come to mind.

I like [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], and [name_m]Charles[/name_m]/[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]-- they work well together. Maybe you could use [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as combos? My joking suggestion is [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and [name_m]Lancelot[/name_m]! :smiley:

Thank you all for the feedback and lovely suggestions! I didn’t think it’d be so hard to name these two!

8

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] could have a nice nickname with [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. I agree [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is very popular. Not as many boys named [name_m]Charles[/name_m] these days. I know 2 little girls named [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. I love the nickname [name_f]Etta[/name_f] for that.

Other names to go with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], how about;

[name_f]Theadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] ([name_f]Ruthie[/name_f])
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] or [name_f]Edwina[/name_f] ([name_f]Edie[/name_f])
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] ([name_m]Al[/name_m] or [name_u]Bertie[/name_u])
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] ([name_f]Winnie[/name_f] or [name_m]Fred[/name_m])
[name_f]Eunice[/name_f]
[name_f]Francine[/name_f] ([name_u]Frannie[/name_u])
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] ([name_f]Essie[/name_f])
[name_u]Joan[/name_u] ([name_f]Joanie[/name_f])
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] ([name_f]Dot[/name_f])
[name_m]Richard[/name_m] ([name_m]Richie[/name_m])
[name_m]Frederic[/name_m] ([name_m]Fred[/name_m])

Sorry I started going out of order of B/G, but I think you can figure out which name is for which sex : )

I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] are adorable and go great with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]!

[name_f]Eleanore[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] are lovely.

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_m]Malcom[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] (ABC, sorry!)

I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m]! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] instead?

12

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is one of my favorites, but too many in the family already!

13

We’ve considered that combo, too! [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] was my original favorite, but a couple close friends just used it, so then we were unsure!

14

[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is pretty as well!

15

I didn’t think to combine the two names! [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] sounds pretty! Our last name is three syllables as well so I was focused on a one syllable middle name.

16

I love [name_f]Nora[/name_f], but my husband is not a fan :-? Thanks for the suggestions!
