(hypothetical) What would you name Etta's twin sister?

(completely hypothetical BUT…)

I am undergoing fertility treatment for my odds for twins are higher so it always has me thinking of what I would name twins!

I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] the name [name_f]Etta[/name_f] but cant seem to find a great twin name for it… I do NOT like names that are too similar… ie. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] etc.

The only pair I like is [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] but I Like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] quite a bit more than [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and I think I would feel bad choosing 1 name I love and one I just like! [name_m]How[/name_m] would you decide which twin gets the best name?

SO the question is… What would you name [name_f]Etta[/name_f]'s twin sister?

Thanks!!!

Hmm… [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f], I think.

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] was the first name that popped into my head. It is vintage and spunky like [name_f]Etta[/name_f].

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]!

I think [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is nice.
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f]/[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Dora[/name_f]

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Romy[/name_u]
xo

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] sprang to mind. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphi[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Clio[/name_f]

I think I’d name [name_f]Etta[/name_f]'s twin [name_f]Willa[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Cora[/name_f].

My first thought was [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. I also like the suggestions of [name_f]Clio[/name_f]/[name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]… as well as [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] or [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]?

I had [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] on my list but never thought it quite went with [name_f]Etta[/name_f] but somehow [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] seems perfect!

Thanks!

Since [name_f]Etta[/name_f] is on my top 30 list I tried to see what other name went best with it that is also on that list. So for me it seems like I would choose…
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Clare[/name_u]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] (but maybe [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Emme[/name_f] are too close for me)
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Arianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

Well those are from my top 30 list.

Other names that go well might be
[name_f]Zelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Sonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Prudence[/name_f] nn [name_f]Prue[/name_f] (oh my I really like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Prue[/name_f]!)
[name_u]Kaye[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]! I would balance it out with middle names. Maybe [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] could have your middle name or an important family name? To give her some leverage.

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f]

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] has that sweet vintage feel so I think:
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Maude[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]

I like other posters’ suggestions of [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_u]Clare[/name_u], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_u]Vega[/name_u] (lots of great suggestions already!) And I quite like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] with [name_f]Etta[/name_f]. I agree that maybe you could “balance it out” with middles. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if you don’t, if you have an [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] you’ll likely grow to equally adore [name_f]Hazel[/name_f].
Some other thoughts:
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydie[/name_f]/[name_f]Lyda[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Lula[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Vega[/name_u]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Livia[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f]

[name_f]Lucille[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] are all on my list as well! I like the idea of [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] and [name_f]Etta[/name_f] as I would call then [name_f]Lu[/name_f] and [name_f]Ettie[/name_f] which are cute unisex sounding nn’s!

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] came to mind first for me too… They are perfectly matched. Also…
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
Work really well too, a 2 syllable ending in that ‘ee’ sound. Or…

[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f]Clemence[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]

I also think of [name_f]Nina[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] probably Because of the [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u] connection.

Favourites would’ve [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Lulu[/name_f], Maimie, [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f].

@fluzie I really like [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] but dh wont go for it! As for the virtue names I like Clemetine actually but I think it might be a bit long to go with [name_f]Etta[/name_f]…

as for the [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u] connection… [name_m]Both[/name_m] my husband and I are big fans! Our weeding song ( i know along with a million more people) was At last. We are huge [name_u]Jazz[/name_u], Blues and ealy R&B and [name_m]Rock[/name_m] and roll fans so musical names are a big “like” of mine!

I would [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] to name twin girls [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_u]Billie[/name_u] but I think that might be a bit too much! LOL!
