We are expecting twin girls in the next few weeks and we have sucessfully narrowed the first names down to a few options ([name]Adeline[/name] nn [name]Addy[/name] & [name]Paige[/name] or [name]Adeline[/name] & [name]Cora[/name]).
We have come stuck on middle names now - well I have, my husband doesn’t really want to use them because he doesn’t have one so i’m trying to come up with some great options that’ll change his mind! We don’t have any family names that we want to use, so I really like the idea of linking the middle names to each other. My idea was to use names with the same meaning, nature names (trees or flowers etc) - i just haven’t had any luck finding any that I love!
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!
[name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] are a great vintage pair. Style-wise, [name]Paige[/name] is too contemporary with [name]Adeline[/name].
[name]Flower[/name] Middle Name Suggestions
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Jessamine[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rowan[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Lavender[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Clover[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Cassia[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Juniper[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Fern[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Marigold[/name]
I vote [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Cora[/name]. [name]Paige[/name] seems a little unsubstantial next to [name]Adeline[/name], it actually sounds more like a combo to me, like [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is one child not twins. I love @mischa’s suggestions of [name]Cora[/name] [name]Willow[/name] and [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Clover[/name]!
So having [name]Paige[/name] with [name]Adeline[/name] is a definate no no - even if we intend to mainly call her [name]Addy[/name]?? I really like [name]Cora[/name] when paired with [name]Adeline[/name] due to the vintage feel, but going on a straight up comparison between the two (not taking into account what the other twin would be called) I prefer [name]Paige[/name] at the moment. [name]Just[/name] not sure if I should sacrifice the name I like better individually to get a pair that matches better!! Tricky decision!
Have you considered [name]Coralie[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name]?
I was going to suggest [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name]. I chose [name]Rose[/name] because the [name]Cora[/name] evokes coral-color to me, and [name]Magnolia[/name] because it symbolizes nobility and links to [name]Adeline[/name]'s meaning.
[name]Paige[/name] is nice too, if you love it. Maybe something like [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Primrose[/name] and [name]Paige[/name] [name]Amaryllis[/name] to link by initials.
I think [name]Mischa[/name]'s suggestions are good ones. Have you considered jewel names instead of floral ones? Similar theme, but there are some lovely vintage choices there. Ideas:
I mean, honestly, you can do whatever you like, but even if I had an [name]Isabelle[/name] who went exclusively by [name]Bella[/name], I wouldn’t name the next daughter [name]Emerson[/name]. [name]Isabelle[/name] and [name]Emerson[/name] just don’t fit together at all to me. I mean, I don’t think [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Paige[/name] are really to that degree of difference, but I don’t think [name]Paige[/name] really compares to [name]Adeline[/name], and I think [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] would be stunning together. I was actually thinking [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Paige[/name]? Have you considered that? And you could do another unisex middle name for [name]Cora[/name]? Like [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Hadley[/name]?
I also like the idea of [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Holly[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. Or gem names, like [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]?
I don’t think its a no no by any means! [name]Adeline[/name] feels frilly and vintage while [name]Paige[/name] feels sleek and sophisticated. [name]Addy[/name] seems like a fun nn but doesn’t have the sophistication of [name]Paige[/name]. I would expect [name]Paige[/name]'s twin to be something like [name]Brooke[/name], [name]Claire[/name], or [name]Nora[/name]. If [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Paige[/name] seem right then use them! It wouldn’t be the end of the world if they don’t match and I have seen much MUCH worse twin sets.
I really like [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Cora[/name]. They are both stunning vintagey names.
I love the idea of [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Wisteria[/name]
or [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Hyacinth[/name].
I think I’m particularly drawn to a shorter mn for [name]Addy[/name] and a longer one for [name]Cora[/name] to even out the full length of the name).
I can help but second what everyone else has said: [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] go so well, and [name]Paige[/name] would go better with something else, more sleek and modern. Maybe [name]Addison[/name]? Then you could still have [name]Addy[/name].
If you do [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] together, there are amazing mn options above the above lists. My favorites are:
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Jessamine[/name] or [name]Cora[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Hyacinth[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]Juniper[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Saffron[/name] & [name]Paige[/name] [name]Clover[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Sage[/name] & [name]Paige[/name] [name]Flora[/name] (ok, a little matchy matchy but I couldn’t resist!)
I like the sound and style of [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Paige[/name] together but the meanings are [name]Adeline[/name]: noble, kind. [name]Paige[/name]: young servant. ([name]Cora[/name] means maiden)
However If thats not an issue, then i like:
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Faye[/name] (fairy) and [name]Paige[/name] [name]Larisa[/name] (nymph) or [name]Cora[/name] [name]Nerine[/name] (water nymph)
[name]Adeline[/name] indigo and [name]Paige[/name] scarlet or cora violet
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] lyric and [name]Paige[/name] melody or [name]Cora[/name] melody
[name]Adeline[/name] hart, and [name]Paige[/name] [name]Valentina[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] beau and [name]Cora[/name] belle (beautiful)
