I am expecting twins- need your thoughts and suggestions plz

[name]Hi[/name] everyone

I have 3 children: [name]Matthew[/name] [name]James[/name] (7), [name]Noah[/name] [name]William[/name] (5) and [name]Ava[/name] [name]Grace[/name] (2). I am expecting twin girls :slight_smile: who are due in 4 weeks. These are the names we like:

[name]Gabrielle[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Annika[/name]
[name]Caitlin[/name]
[name]Hayley[/name]
[name]Jasmine[/name]
[name]Isabelle[/name]
[name]Dominique[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Yasmine[/name]

We would love your thoughts on these names and any other suggestions you can offer. Twin combinations would be great too. We would like their names to ‘match’ our other children…nothing random like [name]London[/name] or anything :slight_smile:

Thanks xxx

Congratulations – what an amazing family! And naming twin girls: I don’t think there’s a more fun naming challenge.

I don’t know whether this is deliberate, but several of your name have a French feel and/or origin. To me it seems as if those should be paired up. If you want two names that “match” by starting with the same letter and by origin but are very different in feel and even sound, you could go with [name]Chloe[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] – very pretty. [name]Gabrielle[/name] and [name]Isabelle[/name] are a more obvious pair – you could also do [name]Gabriella[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name]. And [name]Dominique[/name] and [name]Madeleine[/name] go well together too. Really, you could do any pairing of these six names and it would sound great.

The two names that [name]DON[/name]'T fit in this group to me are [name]Caitlin[/name] and [name]Hayley[/name]. [name]Even[/name] though they go with the names of your other children, I think of them both as names that were very popular in the 80s and 90s and are dropping fast now. While your other children’s names are definitely in the stylish group, they’re stylish RIGHT NOW, not 10 or 15 years ago. So a popular name like [name]Isabelle[/name] or [name]Chloe[/name] would “match” the others in terms of style.

[name]Jasmine[/name] and [name]Yasmine[/name] are different versions of the same name so you wouldn’t want to use both. [name]Yasmine[/name] and [name]Isabelle[/name] are kind of interesting together. I can’t wait to hear everyone else’s ideas!

I like [name]Madeline[/name], [name]Isabelle[/name], and [name]Chloe[/name]…I agree with the last poster that [name]Hailey[/name] and [name]Caitlyn[/name] really do not mesh well. Other suggestions…[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Hope[/name] and [name]Delilah[/name] [name]Faith[/name]…I love these two names for sisters and they go well with [name]Ava[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. The first names I have heard together before used by someone famous…but not too famous…I am not sure of their name but maybe someone else will know …The middle names some may say are unoriginal but I really like them and wanted to suggest them to you anyway!!! GOOD [name]LUCK[/name]! Post when you decide what you are going to name those sweet twin girls!!!

My personal favourite out of your list is [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Chloe[/name]. I love both those names and I think they’re in the category of names that suit a cute toddler just as well as a professional woman. I also love them together. I think they have the right balance between going together (same first initial, same origin) yet they’re two distinct names and they’re not matchy matchy.
Congratulations and let us know what you decide on! :slight_smile:

With [name]Matthew[/name] [name]James[/name] (7), [name]Noah[/name] [name]William[/name] (5) and [name]Ava[/name] [name]Grace[/name] (2). I am enchanted with:
[name]Madeleine[/name] & [name]Charlotte[/name]. They stylistically “match” you other children but don’t macth in & of themselves, which is lovely for twins. (I have twin boys myself: [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Simon[/name], hence my thinking on non matching twin names)

If you wanted to go a bit less classic/more trendy feeling, [name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Isabella[/name] would get my vote. Again keep them seperate, name wise. It’s bad enough they’ll be lumped together as “the twins” by family all their lives. Let them stand seperately somewhere before adulthood!

Some other suggestions:

[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Molly[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Charity[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] that helps and good [name]Luck[/name]!

I agree with [name]Lola[/name]. [name]Madeleine[/name] (great spelling, by the way) and [name]Charlotte[/name] are great together and go well with your other children’s names. I think [name]Madeleine[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name] go well together too.

What about [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name] [name]Rose[/name]? They both have similar popularity ratings as [name]Ava[/name], but are classic and gorgeous too.

wow! Lots of babies for you! I’ll just give my initial opinions on the names you chose they are all beautiful, but just a little bit popular for my style.

[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], but I don’t like [name_u]Gabby[/name_u]. Maybe [name_f]Elle[/name_f] as a nn?
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]- really like it a lot.
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]-love.
[name_f]Annika[/name_f]- #1 choice out of all of them. It’s beautiful, different, and feminine. I also love the meaning
[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]- I’m not fond of names with [name_u]Lynn[/name_u], lyn or in at the end for some reason. I also thin [name_f]Cait[/name_f] is a little plain.
[name_f]Hayley[/name_f]- pretty plains/popular to me
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]- beautiful
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]- I feel like everyone and their mothers are a [name_f]Belle[/name_f]/[name_f]Bella[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] these days
[name_u]Dominique[/name_u]- I love this name. I love the -que at the end.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]- I use to love this name, but it is waaaaayyy too popular. However lots of nn. [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_f]Char[/name_f], [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]- beautiful name, but kind of plain
[name_f]Yasmine[/name_f]- really like it

Like I said, they are all beautiful. But, I’m a jessica coming from a land of Jessicas, so I always have an adverse reaction to popular/trendy names
